What Our Customers Say

Lucy Davis
When selling our property, we instructed WBW. We found throughout our sale, Lucy was very professional, informative and quick to respond to any queries we had (unlike our sellers solicitors)! Lucy was able to chase and respond to any property related queries and kept us updated at all times. Would highly recommended WBW, Torquay if you’re looking to sell or buy! Thanks!

Janice Courtenay

I had been worrying for a very long time over the need to alter my Will. I had many different problems that I needed to sort out before actually deciding how to compile my new Will. Janice visited me at home, we had a lengthy discussion over different issues and she helped me greatly to sort out my concerns. Janice started the process after discussion and after considering her first draft, I was able to make clear decisions on my final wishes and was able to make amendments to arrive at my final Will. I was very grateful for her help and advice.
