Fantastic service from Solicitor Alexander Small at Ward & Rider during my house purchase. Alexander was consistently professional, clear, and reassuring throughout the entire process. He kept me updated at every stage, explained everything in a straightforward way, and handled any issues quickly and calmly. His attention to detail and supportive approach made the whole experience smooth and stress‑free.
Really appreciate all his hard work — I’ll definitely return to Ward & Rider for any future legal needs.
View this review on GoogleI had a great experience working with Leigh Ganderton. He was efficient throughout the entire process, kept me regularly updated, and made everything clear and easy to understand. He worked hard to secure a settlement that I am very happy with. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor.
View this review on GoogleMatthew Backhouse has been amazing. As an elderly couple he could not have made things easier for us in all aspects of his service. I only needed to pick up the phone and Matthew was always polite, helpful and understanding. He has gone above and beyond at every stage, even going down to London to personally hand deliver a letter after not getting any response through the usual channels. We are very pleased with the outcome Matthew has achieved following his three years of perseverance in a case many would have given up on or seen little value in. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

View this review on GoogleWe were introduced to Ward & Rider by our mortgage advisor in Droitwich, who highly recommended them. Even though Ward & Rider are based in Coventry, we decided to use them as we had no idea where to start.
Shortly after instructing them, Alexander contacted us to introduce himself and explained that he would be our main point of contact throughout the process. As first-time buyers, we had plenty of questions along the way, but Alexander was always quick to respond, professional, and incredibly helpful.
He guided us through every stage of the purchase, keeping us informed and making what could have been a very stressful experience feel much more manageable. In fact, Alexander even contacted us before the estate agent to let us know that we should be receiving a call to collect the keys!
My wife and I cannot thank Alexander enough for all of his time, effort, and support. His communication, professionalism, and willingness to help gave us real peace of mind throughout the process.
We would highly recommend Ward & Rider, and especially Alexander, to anyone looking for a solicitor when buying a property.
View this review on GoogleOn a no win no fee basis Matthew Backhouse at Ward and Rider worked tirelessly for several years to secure my win. I cannot praise his diligence, patience and rigorous attention to detail highly enough. He kept me informed and reassured every step of the way and secured a payout far beyond my expectations. Needless to say, very happy with the service provided.
