Report
I used Woodfords to help with the legal side of taking out an Equity Release loan on my flat and was very pleased with the service. Compared to other solicitors, they were very competative on price.

I recently used Woodfords services for conveyancy on a property purchase. Marina and her colleagues were very helpful throughout and the service was excellent. I will be recommending them for anyone who requires local services in South West London

Excellent communication (essential), extremely helpful and patient staff (essential).overall, considering the difficult and sensitive situations being dealt with, friendliness and handling of cases made easier which was greatly appreciated. A very big 'thank you' to all who were involved. Certainly would highly recommend Woodfords's services to others.

Report
I applied for a graduate visa through Woodford, both Ms. Tharwat and Mr. Jeremy have looked into my application. What I really like about their work, Ms. Tharwat has requested my past visa applications from the home office, to avoid conflict in information. Ms. Tharwat always double-checks the details before filling the application and never takes into account the information I provide unless see it in my provided docs ( Passport, BRP, etc). I got the successful outcome from the home office and I am very happy. I highly recommend Ms. Tharwat and Mr. Jeremy. Thank you very much for your patience

Terrible communication, lack of follow through and an overall unprofessional experience. I recommend you go anywhere but to Woodfords for legal advice and representation.

Had a great experience working with Marina, very professional and always available when you give her a call. It made the process of buying and selling, on what was quite a complicated property purchase relatively stress free!

Report
Worst experience ever! Avoid this firm. Finally after 2 years I get some money back after Legal Ombudsman get involved. I had experienced: delays from 14 up to 28 days to get a response; incorrect advice, superficial and incomplete assistance received, failure to advice on strategy. The way of handling of my matter has left me feeling unsupported and as though my matter is insignificant and can be brushed off and set aside as it is unimportant. Look somewhere else and save your money, time and a considerable level of stress which this firm can cause you.
