What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

York-based Ware & Kay Solicitors draws consistent praise across its conveyancing, probate, estate planning and will-writing work, with named staff recurring throughout the feedback. Holly, Gill, Simone and Mana Wilkinson are singled out repeatedly for keeping clients informed at every stage of property sales and purchases, and for responding promptly to questions by phone and email. A point made in several accounts is the proactive approach taken when complications arise, whether involving lenders, sellers' solicitors or Help to Buy redemptions, with several customers describing how the team absorbed pressure on their behalf and made the process feel manageable.

Reviewers repeatedly mention the diligence and clarity of advice on probate and estate administration, including Laura Schofield's handling of a mother's estate and the sensitive aspects of probate applications. Those updating wills note straightforward processes and costs that compared favourably with expectations. First-time buyers and those selling a parent's property alike describe timely, accessible service and a personal manner that eased the stress of moving. Named individuals across conveyancing, probate and private client work remain central to the accounts, with Holly, Gill, Simone, Mana and Laura each credited for careful, responsive handling of transactions from instruction through to completion.

Laura Schofield in the Wetherby Office has recently dealt with my mother's Estate and Probate application. She is professional, diligent, responsive to phone call and emails and is lovely to deal with. I would not hesitate to recommend Laura at Ware & Kay for Probate

Ware & Kay recently dealt with the sale of my Mum's property. All along the way they were efficient, timely and accessible. Any issues were dealt with, with no difficulties. I will definitely employ Ware & Kay the next time I have any legal requirements.

We sold our property last month and had the usual amazing service from Holly and Gill. We had a few things to negotiate along the way but with Holly and Gill’s expertise and knowledge we knew that we were in good hands! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend using Ware & Kay solicitors for a sale or purchase of a property, you won’t find a better service from anyone else! You always get a return call or reply email to any questions that you might have, usually the same day, which these days is unusual. We definitely wouldn’t use any other solicitors!

I can't recommend them enough, very professional but with a personal touch. They made the purchase of my house stress free with excellent communication, they were easy to contact and kept me updated each step of the way. Thank you for making it seem pain free and seamless.
