Critical: Quality, Responsiveness, Value Used these as they appeared to have good reviews. The initial contact was good. After that its been a painful process. I've found its me requesting updates that prompt any work that needed doing. Its been a poor experience to date and wouldn't reccomend them at all.

I would 100% recommend Wilford Smith. They have acted on behalf of myself and my partner as first time buyers and our Solicitor, Jamie has been absolutely fantastic from start to finish. As first time buyers, we weren't aware of the whole process and Jamie has been a massive help with regards to this, explaining everything in depth and being extremely responsive every time I have contacted her. Thank you so much!

I have used Wilford Smith for in excess of a 100 property transactions. The work has always been done to a very high standard and I have been kept informed at each stage of the transactions. I could not have asked for more. I would recommend them to anyone serious about property.

I couldn't have been happier with the conveyancing service provided by Wilford Smith. They were extremely helpful and responsive, and provided a personal service that was reassuring and supportive. They tackled every obstacle that came our way and made every part of the process clear and understandable. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them!

I have had the need to use a Solicitor on a number of occasions with respect to Motoring and Civil matters. Through a personal friend, I contacted Wilford Smith on those occasions and I am pleased I did. They took me through the process and explained matters to me in a way that was easily understood. Their expertise and speedy acknowledgements to my communications showed me just how professional they were. If I need Legal advise in the future for whatever reason, I will be calling them. Thank you Wilford Smith.
