How Watermans Compares
Value for money
Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.
This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of Watermans on ReviewSolicitors.

- How much were you initially quoted or how much did you expect to pay?

- Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
- Overall experience

We used Watermans for the purchase of our first flat and they've been fantastic! Lauren was so positive and on the ball with our questions when submitting our offers. She explained the process, timelines and how to manage expectations as well - as first time buyers, it made our experience really great.
For the legal side, we worked with Caitlin and she was also very proactive and responsive throughout. We felt we could ask any questions and she followed up on every ask we had.
We would definitely recommend Watermans to anyone who is considering to buy! Very professional and friendly approach.
