I instructed Anthony Fripp at WBW Solicitors to act on my behalf for my first house purchase. Anthony and his assistant Lucy Davis were super efficient, easily contactable at all times and remained highly professional throughout. I was kept updated weekly and the purchase completed within 6 weeks even during these uncertain times.
I would recommend Anthony and Lucy to anyone and I will continue to use WBW in the future.
Louise was really friendly and professional and we felt very reassured in her hands at a stressful time.
Buying a first house in a new country is never easy. Kate and team have been amazing helping us purchase our house, especially in explaining the UK process and hoops we had to go through. Very responsive, and very knowledgeable. I would definitely use them again.
