Professional and Personable

Suzie, Claire and team, were all very professional and personable and made the challenges and stresses of selling our property a lot less stressful. Timely communication at all times, approachable and great to be able to speak directly to Suzie, esp when we needed that little more reassurance. They put a real human touch to what can be a very alien experiences from other solicitors and this made a real difference that they were on your side. We look forward to the same great experience when we buy our new property very soon, Thanks Team

To be honest we had no idea what we had to do when mother died and the processes that followed. Beth was great in explaining the probate and what it involved, she very helpful and answered all our queries.
Beth is a good representative for the company.

Wolferstans have been great to work with throughout the conveyancing process. Samantha Loveridge was always professional, fast to respond and did a great job at chasing everything up. Communication was good and it was a pleasure to work with her. The cost of the service was fantastic when compared to qoutes from other firms. I'd recommend to anyone.
