Wilford Smith Solicitors Avis 326

Victoria Davis and her team are wonderfully professional, helping the property purchase to progress to exchange and completion in a timely manner, with great communication and as little stress as possible. I thoroughly recommend them.

Everyone, especially Victoria, were very helpful with any questions i had.
They responded the same day with useful answers/information.

The team did a good job of doing all the necessary legal steps and being very thorough about all the paperwork. They did not add extra communications or issues which would have added to costs, although sometimes they were hard to get hold of.

Pretty smooth process overall - no issues or major hitches, and the team were responsive throughout.

If you are buying or selling a property DO NOT under any circumstances use Wilford Smith, as apart from providing a WOEFUL “service”, the entire Conveyancing team will either ignore you and/or treat you with total contempt! It took Francis Lloyd Cummings 8 months of incompetence to almost sell our property (to a cash buyer), and in the end another solicitor took over and we limped over the line (after losing our first buyer). Unbelievably the saga continues with our current property, that we bought in 2021!, issues with Land Registry title that WE have done most of the leg work on! First title said our property was leasehold (it’s not,), WE then contacted Land Registry ourselves to expedite title application, (back in September 2023). All phone calls and emails from BOTH the solicitors now dealing with this ignored, when we have ask for any updates. Today cannot get hold of solicitors by phone (AGAIN), so decide to go direct to HMLD regarding the application, and we are told it was cancelled on 29/12/2023,,, because Wilford Smith did not send requested information in a timely manner. They were warned on 29th November of imminent cancellation of application, but ignored that until it was cancelled. I suppose we now know why they don’t want to “update us” at least. Dealing with this firm is like living in a parallel universe, and has caused us so much unnecessary costs, upset, and distress. If anyone knows who We can contact at the top of the company to make a formal complaint to, please let me know…… This btw is just a very brief outline of the problems we have had with this company since making that fateful decision to go with them after putting our house on the market!

Would recommend - Victoria and the team have been excellent. Always available to take my calls and answers emails fast and efficiently

I got in touch with this brilliant solicitor from this firm called Abbey who represented me as a duty solicitor but after she went on to represent me fully as my case was a bit complicated! My God this lady solicitor is amazing! I can’t praise like I should!! She is amazing! I would 100% recommend her services to anyone facing a prison sentence!

Wilford Smith were approached to carry out the conveyance of a property that I was looking to buy, yet they decided to inform the seller's solicitors via email that I had pulled out of the sale. COMPLETELY JEPARDISING said sale.

Absolutely fuming with them, considering I hadn't completed any sign-up paperwork or instructed them to do any work on my behalf nor paid them any money and had told them I would be in touch with them.

EDIT: In reply to the current reply from Wilford Smith.

I DID correspond with you AFTER you had emailed the seller's solicitor and BEFORE writing the review.

Also my email to you was clear that I would be back in touch with you, it was also clear that I had NOT at that point (or any point known to you) pulled out of the sale.

"you have felt the need to place on here a review which is not factually correct." My comments on here ARE factually correct. Are you accusing me of lying or calling me out for defamatory comment? Either way I stand by the comments made here and happy to share all correspondence with Trust Pilot should anything need to be cleared up.

So your review of my file was poorly conducted. Your comment of "(although it appears you may be happy to do so by virtue of your public commentary)" is childish and unprofessional. However, please feel free to update your post with the information that proves my instructions were for you to contact the seller's solicitor and provide them with false information. Bear in mind that I have the email that (again) clearly states that I will be back in touch with you.

You are correct in stating that conveyancing is difficult, but it was you in this case have made that abundantly clear.

You state that I have chosen not to proceed, again something else where you are wrong.

Finally, it still leaves the question of why are you conducting business on my behalf, when I have not opened a file with yourselves?

mark bates was great today, and got me a good result.

Highly recommended Jon Ford delt with me and my husband best solicitors always useful helpful friendly always on time etc definitely highly recommend thanks jon if I could rate more I would

Enrique Garcia from Wilford Smith has supported our commercial legal requirements on a retained basis during the last 6 months. This period has been particularly busy for the business following back to back acquisitions and subsequent integration as well as a number of significant bids. Enrique has taken on the files and liaised directly with our staff and external customers and suppliers to advise and reach agreement on a significant number of contracts as well as providing compliance support on data protection and business ethics topics. Enrique always acts warmly and professionally and with a pragmatic approach to resolution.

Mr Enrique Garcia at Wilford Smith, specialist in employment law was absolutely superb and was an amazing support for employment advice. Would highly recommend both Mr Garcia and Wilford Smith. Cannot thank them enough for their help through such a complex area.

Recently acquired the services of WS for conveyancing (sell and buy) and they were superb, very efficient, great communication and totally on the ball throughout!

I will definitely be returning to WS should I ever need assistance again, they were also very cost efficient.

WS handled our conveyancing and we would use them again. Victoria Davis handled our case, she responded quickly to queries and got everything wrapped up in good time.

No fuss and great communication, didn’t have to badger to progress my flat purchase and always had a phone call or email answered promptly.
Great costs and will be using them again, thank you!

Overall pretty good.
Went through the process thoroughly and methodically. Generally kept me up to date with the case proactively.

Wilford smith solicitors did my property completion they was very quick and they responded my calls on time and done the completion on time without any delays I am very happy with there work

These guys have been unbelievably on the ball from start to finish. This has been a really stressful transaction due to several external factors, but Nick and the team at Wilford Smith could not do enough to help. Would definitely use them again, and have already recommended them to others. Thank you :-)

The whole team, particularly Victoria, were great. Responsive and informative - would recommend.

Would highly recommend. Thorough service and quick turnaround
