We were recommended CWJ (and Ursula specifically) by a friend who worked with them a number of times and I have nothing but praise for them! They were very thorough and patient with us as first time buyers and all queries were returned in a timely manner. I highly recommend them.

Having read positive reviews I recommended "Clarkson Wright & Jakes" to my friend, a nervous first time buyer in her seventies who was instantly reassured by the friendly, helpful and efficient support of Lesley Robins who explained everything clearly and ensured my friend understood each stage of the conveyancing procedure. Lesley Robins' professional and unhurried consultations put my friend at ease and gave her confidence that her house purchase was in good 'hands'.

As often happens, there were '11th hour' delays from others in the chain but Lesley Robins dealt with the challenges and went the extra 'mile' to achieve Completion. My friend is now happily settled in her new home and still praises the wonderful service she received from Lesley Robins and has no hesitation in recommending "Clarkson Wright & Jakes" for a professional and excellent conveyancing service.

CWJ provided conveyancing services as we disposed of my late mother's house. They were very supportive and communicative throughout the whole process and I cannot fault their service.

I have found CWJ online, looking for an employment solicitor and I was very satisfied with their services. I fully recommend Judith as very experienced professional but also very much appreciated her flexibility in supporting me with a time sensitive matter.

I found Judith to be very knowledgeable, professional and at the same time easy to deal with and I would most certainly recommend her to anyone in need of her services.

I needed some urgent work done related to a foreign transaction. Alis handled it very well - calm, collected and competent. PAD Keston

Dealing with the sale of a property that had been the family home for more than 50 years, Karthiga Sangaralingam was highly professional, always sensitive to the situation, and managed the process excellently. A gold standard service.

I had cause to use this company in relation to an employment matter. I found the support staff and the solicitor, Judith Curran, very helpful. The advice I received was clear and well explained and I was completely satisfied with the outcome. Have no hesitation in recommending this company

I returned to CWJ because I had previously always received a very professional service. They handled the conveyancing on my house sale with their usual efficiency and professionalism.

I used CWJ for conveyancing for a re-mortgage and transfer of equity. I dealt with both Ursula Munn's (conveyancing) and Kevin Bristow (family) and have found my experience with CWJ be faultless. I was kept well informed at all times and the whole process has been smooth from start to finish. Many thanks to Ursula and Kevin for a wonderful service. Thoroughly recommend

First class professional service. I recently sold my house and used CWJ Solicitors. I received excellent service from Ursula Munns who dealt with my Conveyancing. I was kept up to date from beginning to end of my sale and can't praise her enough. I am now buying a new build property which entails a lot of hard work on the solicitors side. Ursula is very thorough and offers excellent service. Thank you.

When I told people I was buying property everyone said the same thing. They said that dealing with solicitors would be the hardest and most frustrating part. Honestly, I have no idea what all the fuss was about. We couldn't disagree more. Dealing with CWJ was the easiest part of the whole process. Our solicitor, Ursula, was prompt, clear and easy to work with.

The only times anything took longer than first expected (very few times and only by a minor delay) was because our solicitor was looking out for our best interest and uncovering details that could sprung unexpected costs on us. It felt like she genuinely cared about us saving money and not being messed around by any potential hassle further down the line.

My only advise is to ignore all pressure applied by estate agents and trust your solicitor. You're paying them to do a job, so let them do it without letting the unsavoury estate agents stress you out as they try to nab a quicker commission.

CWJ recently dealt with the conveyancing of a leasehold property for me. I found the staff to all be polite and helpful and in particular Abraham Khan to be thorough and professional. No questions were left unanswered and I was confident to leave the matter in his hands. I was given updates regularly and everything was explained to me. I would recommend them.
