Although I was impatient at times Hilary was always quick to reassure me that everything was going fine with my selling and buying process, indeed from having an offer on my house, finding a new one it was only 12 weeks to completion.

Hilary has been by far the easiest conveyancer to work with for a long time. Always picked up the phone happy to help with all queries. Overall a pleasure to work with and gets the job done. Look forward to working with her in the future
Excellent service
Hilary was our conveyancer and we can only say that she was by far the best that we have ever interacted with. She was diligent, courteous, kept us informed and responded to queries in a very timely manner. We really couldn't ask for more.
Efficient and affordable.
DWS are excellent
DWS have progressed the sale of our property in a professional and friendly manner. Chaz Thandi and his team have responded to phone calls and emails immediately. A big thank you to all of them.
I regret using DWS
I believe that working with this firm caused many delays and I had to have the estate agent step in with advice to keep the conveyancing moving forward on at least two occasions. The solicitor assigned to me did not do basic research or make particular effort to keep it moving (such as hiring a firm to do searches when they were available much cheaper and months earlier by going right to the source). She also failed to properly chase documentation with the seller and the missing documents delayed our move by many weeks and led to unnecessary stress. The estate agent in this instance was the one who discovered the problem and revealed it to the solicitor – the information had been there all along if only she had taken the time and made the effort to find it. The management of the firm also failed to respond effectively to my complaints throughout and after the process. In fact, a detailed complaint explaining the issue with my solicitor and DWS in general went unanswered, and the manager assigned to oversee the case because of its problems failed to provide an evidence of oversight. Though I appreciate the thoroughness of working through all documents and not proceeding with the sale without key papers, I found my solicitor ineffective in her communication and wanting in her effort.
Totally unreliable and uncommunicative…
Totally unreliable and uncommunicative says it has done things that it has not. I have brought and sold numerous properties and have never had such poor service from any other solicitor I would suggest this one is to be avoided if you need a good job in a reasonable time
Hilary Cruz did an excellent job
Hilary Cruz dealt with our sale and purchase very professionally and did an excellent job. We were warned by our estate agent that conveyancing companies were struggling with extra cases and fewer staff and to not expect a reply to an email for 3 days, this was not the case at all with Hilary - she often responded in less than an hour and always on the same day and was the same returning our calls. We know that she was often working very long days. We felt that she look at everything in detail and that she had our best interests at heart throughout. She was very pleasant to chat to as well and took a lot of the stress out of the situation. We would recommend her and DWS to anyone.

Great service for great value
I would positively recommend DWS to anyone especially Chaz Thandi and Dilan Ajmeria who were dealing with our house buying process. No communication issues during the process and they were very helpful.
Thank you!
This is a very professional firm

I recently used the services of DWS Legal, specifically Dilan Ajmeria, Chaz Thandi and Samantha Kavanaugh, as I sold my UK property. Living in the US made the process challenging due to the time difference and location. However, I enjoyed a thoroughly professional experience and would recommend DWS to anyone in a similar situation.
