Despite several occasions where our buyers had problems which delayed the completion, Aneeqa Ghaffar was extremely patient and reassured us that the final outcome would be smooth and completion would go smoothly.
She was always available to speak with us and replied within the hour to our emails. She called us whenever there was a problem and explained any additional costs and what they were for.

Having a buyer for my cottage, the conveyancing was carried out by a Solicitor from Wall James Chappell. The solicitor was friendly, very efficient and any problems were soon rectified. If in the future I needed the help of a solicitor I would have no hestiation in going to Wall James Chappell.

Having reached a considerable age and fearful of 'passing-on' and leaving chaos and confusion behind, my wife and I decided to seek advice as to how we could ensure 'things' would go to the people we wished, not (unnceccesarily) to the tax man or in lawyers' fees (in sorting claims and counter claims). We went to a seminar given by Wall James Chappell, who were able to answer all the questions we put to them, and pointed out and answered questions we had not thought of. With their guidance and help (particularly with the legal terminology) we were able to complete our individual Will's and Powers of Attorney. All credit must go to James Rousell (Partner) and his staff at WJC. Without hestitation I would recommend them to anyone with similar concerns.

We used Wall James Chapel for the sale of our property and the purchase of our new property, from start to finish there service was outstanding, particularly Clare Marriott who was extremely helpful, kept me updated throughout, when she was on annual leave near completion she called me to say I could contact Deepa Patel if I needed anything, who was also very helpful. I really couldn’t praise them enough, I feel I had great value for money. Even the receptionist was lovely. Thanks again

They don’t call back! I have been calling and leaving messages for someone to call me back for over a week…I called every day last week and left my name and number yet nobody returned my calls. Very poor. Can’t comment on value for money, quality or professionalism as I couldn’t even get that far. I’ve given up now and contacted another company only too happy to have my business.

About this branch
Description
Wall James Chappell is a modern specialist firm of solicitors which can trace its origins in Stourbridge back to 1830. The firm has expanded both organically and through amalgamation and in 2009 the long-established firms of Wall, James and Davies and Chappell and Perry merged to form Wall James Chappell. We offer a wealth of specialist expert knowledge to both corporate and individual clients not just locally but across the UK. The firm places importance on providing technically excellent advice with a practical and sensitive approach, working in partnership with its clients. Our clients receive friendly and effective advice from a solicitor whom they can trust. Our commitment to working together with our clients and prioritising the value of our service has allowed us to maintain long-term relationships with our clients and establish a reputation as a trusted legal advisor. In 1986 the firms of Wall, James & Davies and Bannister & King merged. The roots of the two Stourbridge solicitors stretch back nearly 200 years when gas lighting was first installed in the town and the Industrial Revolution was getting up steam. Bannister & King was originally founded in 1830 by William Blow Collis – whose only fees for that year were recorded as being £5 9s 2d for the drawing up of a lease! Meanwhile, back in 1865, when Gladstone became leader of the House of Commons, Thomas J.Wall set himself up as a solicitor at 19 Hagley Road. Some 25 years later he went into partnership with George Francis James. Wall’s son, Oswald Leo Wall, also later entered into partnership with Trevor Davies. In 2009 Wall, James & Davies merged with Chappell & Perry to form Wall James Chappell. Percy Chappell started from 14 Hagley Road, his house in 1906! Today the firm of Wall James Chappell still operates from its office at 15-23 Hagley Road with 7 partners and 40 people.
