WBW Solicitors Anmeldelser 

Used WBW Solicitors in the sale of my late mothers property. From start to finish was kept fully informed and all our instructions were followed thanks to Darren, Robbie and Jessica. We are looking to move next year and will definitely be using the firm again as well as for updating our wills and have no reservation in recommending them to my family, friends and colleagues.

Excellent service received when I sold my flat - Giselle Sayed is thoroughly appreciated and recommended 🥂

Great service from WBW (Gill and Alex). Phone calls and emails were always dealt with quickly and their professionalism certainly identified pending issues that other solicitors would have certainly missed. I would definitely recommend.

First class services at all times Thank you to everyone at bovey Tracey s offices

We received advice and legal work from WBW solicitors, the firm was recommended to us. Mr Malcolm Emery was highly professional and knowledgeable and completed the work swiftly. Communication was good. The administrative staff were extremely helpful and pleasant.

My experience for asking James Edmonds for legal representation was a complete waste of time.
My first "meeting" with James Edmonds he felt appropriate to read out the law to me regarding constructive dismissal. This meeting taken over an hour to read the law. James Edmonds failed to understand the point he was appointed and that I went to him for legal representation. To add insult to injury I was sent a transcript of the whole meeting (another charge for me) and have no idea what to do with it! considering I went to him to ask for a representation. Surely he knows the law, why did I need to know?, just tell me what you needed to progress. This wasn’t done and I had a huge bill for Something I could’ve found out on the Internet,
Because of this poor service, I decided not to progress and use the services. I sent an email asking for the bill to be settled and waited over a week for a reply.
When the bill was sent you have a week to send payment before they can charge you Interest. WHAT!?
I cannot recommend James Edmonds for employment representation.

WBW Launceston were fantastic dealing with the fairly complicated sale of my flat where the management company had closed down during the sale period. Louise Crockford and team were excellent at resolving issues and keeping me and my estate agent informed. I can highly recommend them and was so impressed with them executing the sale quickly, despite the issues.

Very comprehensive service. Lucy Andrew was diligent, communicative and thorough whilst updating our family wills. All emails answered swiftly - if anything we were too slow getting back to them. Have no issues recommending WBW and Lucy to anyone. Many thanks.

Mina and her team at WBW Torquay are professional and friendly. I can't recommend them highly enough after they dealt with my will. I appreciated their empathetic approach and would not hesitate to use them again.

WBW sorted out my 2 LPA,s. And a rewrite of my will. Excellent service, and done in a professional manner. Tracey at Paignton branch did excellent work

I meet with Annaka Mota to get advise on an employment issue. Annaka was a friendly person and put me at ease and was very professional in the way she advised and assisted to sort out my issues with an employment redundancy contract checking the contract thoroughly and getting areas which she found were not to my benefit removed from the contract.
Annaka kept me up date through the consultation making this a very smooth and stress less activity.
I would thoroughly recommend Anna and WBW solicitors

I met with Kathryn Boyes to put in place LPAs - she explained everything very concisely and prepared draft documents for my review before these were finalised. Very good service, Kathryn was very professional and I was delighted with the service. I will be returning in due course to update my Will.

Genuinely I could not fault the process and approach of the Newton Abbot branch. Solicitor, James was thorough and consistent, with credible knowledge in the issues of law brought to him. I was very grateful to receive such a great service and trustworthy response, thank you!

Nick Emson dealt with mu case in respect of a previous Family matter. He was very professional and provided a quick service.
Highly recomended.

We have used WBW in Paignton on several occasions and have always been very satisfied with the prompt service they provide. Giselle was very efficient with conveyancing for us, we have had advice on Will writing and outstanding help from Tracey Granger on a probate matter, she was professional, kind and compassionate under the sad circumstances we met. Also
great communication, discreet and supported us throughout, was prompt to answer any questions (which there were a lot) and would always explain what was happening.
We would highly recommend WBW. Thank you for providing a great local service.

I don't like to leave negative reviews, but the level of service was very poor.

The lack of diligence showed by Tracey Granger WBW Paignton was terrible she failed to show the necessary care and effort in performing the task for which we had used her services to obtain Probate to settle my late Mothers Estate. Her incompetency and consequences caused a domino effect that cost the estate financially, and to us the emotional and stress was abhorrent, it was so upsetting at a very sad time in our lives. During this period Tracey even writes to us to retrospectively telling us she is increasing her hourly rate to £285 + VAT as she is now an Associate with over 8 years experience.

Everything was handed to her including hard copies of paperwork to obtain Probate, Tracey went through the paperwork and said all looked very straight forward. From then everything went down hill.

Tracey failed to follow instructions when the Probate Office asked for additional information she emailed her response to a wrong email address so we were never going to get Probate thus could not sell assets. Tracey failed to keep us updated it was us that contacted the Probate Office to find why Probate had not been granted it was then we discovered her mistake. The things she said she would do, she did not, getting hold of her was never easy there was so many mistakes and apologies caused by her. We even had the Estate Agent raising concerns about her.

We did what the Client Engagement letter said and contacted her to try and come to some resolution this was not successful. We then contacted Jane Couch Client Care as my Mothers Estate spent £1000's all we were offered was £250 off the bill and £250 as a gesture! We asked Jane if she would kindly look at our case again and asked for 20% of the Bill due to the hours and hours we had spent writing letters, and the additional costs to the Estate, we had to pay additional utility costs, interest, and maintenance to name a few things, this was denied. We were told if we remain dissatisfied we need to report to the legal Ombudsman within six months.

There is so much more we could write. It took 538 days from the day we handed all the paperwork in to Tracey to the Estate being finalised just shocking. We truly wanted to sort this out amicably with WBW and not go down this route, now we have to spend more of our time writing to the ombudsman.

This review reflects our personal experience and we can back everything with factual evidence. We would most certainly not recommend her, had she done her job properly we would not have gone through any of this stress.

Nichola Hedditch of WBW solicitors has been dealing with the sale of my step-father's flat in London. It turned out that the lease needed completely renewing, a process that involved two other parties and many complications.
Nichola ensured we were highly informed throughout the whole process, and her efficient, friendly approach ensured our confidence throughout the complex process, now completed.
I have no hesitation in recommending her services.

I was in the unfortunate position of being in the 'care' of WBW solicitors, Exeter after my Father passed away in October 2023, as they were executors of his will. Where do I start? Communication is abysmal, and unless I chased up Ms.Miriam Saxl, long periods went by when I heard nothing, or it took 6 weeks to respond! After contracts were exchanged in April 2025 and funds from the house sale were with WBW in early May, and I had heard nothing by August, I chased her up. I finally had no option other than to email Jane Couch, who, after 3 weeks, still hadn't responded, so I had to email again. This time, I got a swift response and oddly enough, money was put into my account within a few short hours in October. I then wonder why it took Jane only a couple of hours to get this sorted, when I had waited 5 months for news. Very strange! A shareholding had also been 'overlooked'. It's now mid November and the final payment to me has just been made.

Worse than this, my Father's will stated that everything in the house and garage was left to me, and in keeping with his wishes, I requested permission to clear the house; he expressly wanted his direct family to do this. Ms. Saxl agreed via email, and I informed her I had quotes. Within days, she had discussed and agreed for my Father's stepdaughter to clear the entire house and garage – this was without my knowledge or written agreement. I agreed for the stepdaughter to take items belonging to her Mother, but not the whole house. Amongst the items (legally mine), were Dad's framed army medals and a painting by his cousin – he was adamant that these were to be kept in our family, so they were going to relatives. Everything was gone! Dad's expressed wishes were not adhered to. I have everything in writing.
I have filed a complaint with the Legal Ombudsman regarding this situation, and await my case to be reviewed.

Recently used WBW solicitors for undertaking the eviction of a tenant and the sale of a property, both areas of the business where amazing demonstrating excellent knowledge in their field, everything was explained fully with costs shared at the beginning of the instruction which ensured there was not any hidden surprises. I used two of the offices Launceston Louise Crockford and Karen Pearce, thank you both and The Newton Abbot office Jenny Kemp, again thank you I didn’t realise selling a house could be so complicated, however with your excellent experience it was completed without any major issues.
