Such a beautiful sunrise here in sunny Paignton! How lucky are we to live in such a beautiful part of the country.
Have a great day everyone from our team at the Paignton Office.

WBW provide a one stop shop for your legal needs, and always willing to advise. Great service.

Thank you to Sam Thompson for providing an excellent conveyancing service. Guided us through all sorts of complications when purchasing our first new build property. Prompt replies to any questions and excellent value for money.

It was a shaky start with WBW but I am glad to say that person is no longer with the firm.



Ian Bradbury took over my case and I was very impressed how quickly he turned the issues around and he was a pleasure to work with.



I would highly recommend Ian to anyone who asked.

Having instructed Debbie Hamzij (Exeter office) for conveyancing work, I'd recommend her without reservation. An incredibly professional, friendly and proactive solicitor, backed up by a friendly and efficient team.

Andrea Coish is an absolutely first class Solicitor. Without hesitation Andrea would be the first person to call with Family Law. I can never thank her or her team enough for the service that I received. Thankyou Andrea xxxx

Always great service from Sandra Harris and her team!

Absolutely excellent service, live in Hampshire now but will always use the services of WBW

Would not tecommend these at all namely Ian Bradbury!!!

Very unprofessional, always passing the buck and most importantly not being truthful!!

Avoid at all costs!!!
