Jenny Cartledge and her team have bought and sold many of our properties over the past 20 years and I have no hesitation in recommending her services at WLS. Friendly, efficient and personal service ensures a smooth conveyancing process.
I recently used Dale-Lace Sols (WLS Sols) for a commercial refinance and got what must be considered the best service I could have wished for. Unusual for a firm of solicitors, as all six based at the Beaconsfield office were au-fait with my case as it moved forward, always knowing the constant status in detail and all helping-out passing me information or receiving it from me without any undue questioning. I felt completely content with the process which took just under two months to complete. We might wonder if at times we just got lucky, but would add that I have used this firm umpteen times over the years, whilst also needing to use other firms of solicitors as well for varying reasons. However, I have never had quite the same positive result from these as I get from WLS for reasons they seem to have somehow managed to bottle! :-)
Mike Pollard troubled himself to visit our property at the outset, this allowed him to gain a comprehensive overview of the details that characterised our boundary dispute. He referred our case to counsel at an early stage to obtain an experience analysis of the various factors and the likelihood of any action being successful. Mike maintained a professional perspective throughout the dispute, remaining calm in response to communications from our neighbours' solicitor who we found aggressive and who in our view had not done his homework. Mike advised us sensibly throughout with regard to costs, also making it clear to us the costs of court action and the possible outcomes. His professionalism also shone through in determining and editing a final settlement agreement. We achieved a highly satisfactory outcome to our dispute, agreeing a boundary with our neighbours, having their shed moved off our land and re-establishing a right of way that had been obstructed by them. Boundary disputes are unpleasant, ours was lengthy and might have lead to very little being gained, it finished in our favour thanks to Mike Pollard's highly professional approach and his personal interest in seeing us gaining an outcome that the facts of the matter merited.
...very easy to talk to, friendly and courteous, and listened carefully to my concerns...acted throughout in a completely professional way, and always with my best interests at heart...a complicated case...handled with sensitivity...helped me to be determined...I would not hesitate to recommend...
All our dealings with your service were very professional. The somewhat strict terms and conditions which disconcerted the Estate Agents at YourMove, made us feel that you were concentrated on the work to be done, and this proved to be so. We also made use of your connection with Gerrards Cross office (it was your locality to us which made us choose you ) . We would be happy to use you again or recommend you to others.
...professional and well-informed, but not above answering my questions regarding the case, and took care to keep me informed as things progressed. It was no surprise that we were eventually successful because the service had been excellent...
Absolute professionalism from the very start. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. From beginning to end I could not fault. Thank you so so much for your help especially to Mr Walker who is an absolute amazing barrister. Thank you once again.
Nicky was excellent in the service and support she provided, despite the challenges of lock down and other solicitors in the chain not pulling their weight in the process. Any time we called, she was courteous and always got back to us if there was a need to, either by email or via a call. Where there were challenges, she chased up where necessary and also was flexible in the process to think ahead- if she hadn't drawn down the loan for the mortgage when she did, its likely we wouldn't have moved when we did thanks to further delays from our buyers solicitors- her experience and approach made this process a lot less painful than it could have been- thank you!

Jeff was exceptional and has been able to win a “mission impossible” ...he is direct, decisive and...is shrewd, but shows empathy...he is intuitive, clear and a sound strategic thinker who assumes a forward-looking approach.
I would like to thank you wholeheartedly for all your help and guidance in reaching this stage (and perseverance of course!), it is very much appreciated and I am quite sure I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor!
...exceptional...Colm has worked tirelessly on my file...has displayed his utmost professionalism, skills, compassion and understanding which were most impressive...continued with patient foresight, diligence and persistence which ultimately led to the successful conclusion on my selling the property. Colm is a great asset to your firm.
Jennifer has been doing my property conveyancing work for both business and personal projects for over five years!...from the most simple of instructions to some extremely complicated transactions involving clients, banks and their solicitors. Time scales are always tight and Jenny goes out of her way to make sure the work is done, often working out of hours...Jenny always responds to calls and does so in a timely manner and always in a bubbly tone of voice which makes life a great deal easier when there is often great pressure involved...her knowledge of the industry seems extremely high and she is never phased by what I throw at her...I would highly recommend her services.
I received a friendly personal service. I felt well informed through out my case. All explanations were clear and I felt I could ask at anytime for further clarification. This is the second time my family have used this company and I would use them again if needed in the future.
...professional, efficient and understanding at all times....he summed it up perfectly..."You're paying me to take the stress and deal with the hassle so leave me to it" ...one very happy client, thank you.
Used you guys for a rather messy will and house sale, had fantastic service extremely professional and courteous throughout, any question I asked was answered fairly and non biased. Would use again and again. Great service .
Nicky (and April) were a fantastic pair helping me and my wife with our first purchase. We had 100s of questions and they answered every one. We had a difficult seller with her unreasonable solicitors, however Nicky and April always guided us to make the best decisions. Furthermore, the time of instructing to transfer was 8 weeks and 4 days for my leasehold property. This was excellent and mostly due to their efficiency (It could have been quicker if it weren't for the seller's delays)
Nicky and April have been absolutely outstanding in managing the sale of my property. I really couldn’t fault the service, they are simply wonderful to deal with and treat the client with the upmost care.
I would like to say how grateful I am for all the help, support, time and advice you and your team have given me...everyone...made sure we were well looked after along the way!
Denise was really helpful in all stages of our mortgage application - easy to communicate with and always very rapid in replying to queries. The work was done completely smoothly and efficiently. It was particularly useful having a solicitor in our home town - it made it easy to just drop documents into the office, get documents validated etc. I have no hesitation in recommending Hamblin's.
My most grateful thanks for the amazing assistance you have provided, I was extremely impressed by your professionalism, work ethic and most of all your sense of urgency!
I am extremely pleased the service I received during my new purchase and also remortgage of my old property at the same time. I found her an experienced, quick responsive and very professional throughout the transaction. I strongly recommend to my friends and families in future.
From start to finish we received a very prompt service. Whenever we emailed a request or the estate agent/other solicitors involved requested an action things were dealt with very quickly, often immediately. Our house sale was under time pressure because of our onward purchase and such efficient responses were crucial. Our contact was always received with courtesy and we will recommend QSLH to family and friends. We selected April as most of our dealings were with her but we also had some communication with Nicky and the same feedback applies.
...very professional in how she conducted herself and understanding in her approach...Her knowledge was excellent...but it was the way she explained it which was really key for me...always on hand for any advice and helped me to understand anything that I found confusing or misleading...a credit to her peers...and would not hesitate to refer her again in the future.
