Say About Us
How wonderful and amazing Oliverta is. Thank you for everything you are the best.
Waterstone Legal were the cheapest quote we could find but the quality of the service was 5 star. We had prompt replies to our emails (within an hour or two) every time and Darius was instrumental in pushing the buyer’s Solicitors when they were slow to respond. If I was selling again now, I would choose Waterstone again without hesitation. Thank you Darius!
WS Legal did a great job with our sale. Towards the end, when we were nearing completion, the buyer's party raised numerous questions, and the solicitor assigned to our case (Nithi), very diligently checked requests and responded. She also kept me informed of developments so I could help answer queries. She did her best to move the sale to exchange ASAP. She was also kind and helpful - she did a great job!
Over the years Waterstone Legal firm has been of good representation of my immigration matter. Success is their watch word, they render best service to meet my satisfaction.
Quick to respond to queries and documentation received. Pleased with service. From agreeing sale to completion 11 weeks, top job!
