WINCKWORTH SHERWOOD LLP

Rachel Hardingham at Winckworths has guided us through the enfranchisement of our Kennington flat along with the other leaseholders and then through its sale with calm professional advice throughout. There were some tricky legal points which Rachel dealt with superbly and I would recommend her services to anyone seeking to go through the same processes

would highly recommend Qaisar Sheikh, solicitor, for anyone dealing with Special Educational Needs (SEN) cases.

Qaisar stepped in in February, after my daughter had been out of school since September. From the outset, he was decisive, knowledgeable, and entirely focused on securing what my daughter was legally entitled to.

Within few weeks, he successfully pushed the council to take action and my daughter was back in education. Following this, he and his team represented us at Tribunal, where we won the case against the council. The council was found to have acted unlawfully across all areas, and as a result, my daughter was finally granted a permanent placement that could — and did — meet her needs.

If you are facing delays, unlawful decisions, or a lack of action from a local authority, I would strongly recommend Qaisar Sheikh and his firm for Special Educational Needs matters and more. Up to this day I’m so grateful he worked on my daughter‘s case and to this day I still run to him for advice when encounter issues.

Whilst Winckworth seem to be great on visas & immigration the same cannot be said for conveyancing. If you are looking into Winckworth for conveyancing- please make sure you read those reviews.

We had no choice as they act on behalf of Sage Housing Association who my partner brought a shared ownership property through.

We have been trying to sell this property (with a buyer found, chain free on both sides) since June 2023 (we are now in July 2024). Winckworth Sherwood have caused a mountain of delays. They failed to correctly spot that the car parking spaces in the lease were never actually registered on the title or lease plan filed a Land Registry meaning we then had to get them registered. As the property is shared ownership, our Solicitor requires authority to add these in from Winckworth and we have waited for 14 weeks (and counting) for a response. We are constantly told ‘as soon as possible’. Their ‘as soon as possible’ doesn’t seem very quick.

Overall, Winckworth Sherwood have costed this sale 8 months worth of delays from just not responding, absolutely shocking from the Housing Association conveyancing team

I would like to thank Younes Ed-Chadli for all of his hard work and dedication throughout our whole spousal visa journey. I cannot recommend him enough! Younes was very friendly and reassuring and gave us clear instructions on what we needed to complete from our side, making it far less stressful for us.

He also made sure we were involved and informed every step of the way during the application process, which put our minds at ease. I knew I could rely on him to achieve the best outcome, and that is exactly what he has done!

We would like to thank Younes again for all the help and for easing the pressure off a very important situation.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Mr Younes Ech-Chadli for the second time for my husbands spousal visa extension. After the immense help and advise he provided during the first application we did not have to think twice to reach out to Younes again. Working with Younes and his team, allowed us to confidently hand over our case, knowing that the expertise and knowledge provided was of the highest quality. Any doubts we had throughout the process were immediately clarified with swiftness and with utmost understanding. Younes has always made sure that we as clients do not bare any of the stress and was quick to solve any concerns that arose. We cannot thank Younes enough for the amount of patience, diligence and dedication he had, to establishing the successful outcome of the visa in a timely manner, and always went above and beyond.

As well as their absolute professionalism, what has drawn us to working with Younes and his team is the immediate kindness that emanates, and the knowing that they genuinely have our best interests at heart. The calibre and proficiency displayed has been exemplary! We will most definitely be reaching out to Younes for any advice in the future, and highly recommend Mr Ech-Chadli and the team for any immigration advice and further. Once again, our most sincere gratitude and thanks and heartfelt wishes!
