What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Ipswich, Watkins Stewart and Ross has built a reputation through repeated instructions from clients who return for conveyancing, estate administration and statutory declarations. A handful of customers describe the conveyancing work handled by Sarah as efficient, kind and consistently well communicated, with updates provided at every stage and questions answered quickly, including during a drawn-out purchase and a sale that proved far from straightforward.

More than one review highlights the clarity and patience shown when buying a first home, and the reasonable fees compared with other local firms come up as a welcome detail. Becky receives similar praise for her friendly and meticulous approach to a simultaneous sale and purchase, which clients credit with keeping the transaction on track. John is named for his approachable handling of a late parent's estate, while the firm's broader service is described as professional, honest and welcoming, including for routine statutory declaration work.

A point that comes up often is the speed of email replies, often within hours, and the reassurance of dealing with the same person throughout. Repeat clients note that the atmosphere remains relaxed and hassle-free, making the process easy to manage even when circumstances become difficult, and the practical guidance on sales, purchases and probate matters is what brings them back.

We had a great experience both selling and buying our properties. Responses were quick both by email and in answering the phone, I was always able to contact either Rebecca or Emma. Highly recommend.

I’ve used this firm several times for statutory declarations, which, I know can sometimes be seen as routine work for solicitors. Despite that, they’ve always been welcoming, approachable and flexible. I really appreciate their relaxed, friendly atmosphere and they’ve consistently made the process straightforward and hassle-free.

Our experience in a conveyancing/house sale situation was shocking. Long delays, lost paperwork and a very obstructive attitude. Do not use them!

Sarah was absolutely incredible from start to finish during the process of buying our first home. She kept us updated every step of the way and made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel clear and manageable. Sarah answered any questions swiftly and we felt like she cared about us and our situation, not just the transaction. Towards the end, we faced a very difficult and unusual situation that, as we were told, no one in the industry had encountered before. Despite this, Sarah was outstanding. She reassured us, stayed calm under pressure, and worked tirelessly to find answers and guide us through. We couldn’t have asked for better support during such an important milestone. We would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone without hesitation.

I used this firm via my mortgage broker Wolsey Mortgage, I was assigned Sarah who was very competent and great at replying to emails, Sarah was professional throughout what was a very drawn out house purchase. Would use again if required.
