As the freeholder of a property, I needed advice on whether a lease required a Deed of Covenant to be drafted on its transfer – it turned out that it did, due to its age. Previously, I had contacted a number of other firms, and they had all turned down the work or asked me to send in an email which was replied to a few weeks later if at all. With Thackray Williams I was put straight through to David Gibson who clearly outlined the relevant law and what was required. When the leaseholder requested that the Deed be produced quickly, so as not to delay completion on the sale of the lease, Thackray Williams stepped up to the plate. I found all staff very professional and accessible and couldn’t find fault. I’ve no hesitation in thoroughly recommending them.

DC Comics have the world’s finest, here in the British isle's I experienced the dynamic duo. Andrew Raby and David Gibson. Both gentlemen gave me a first-class service on the tail of which I was given peace of mind. Thank you, Andrew and David.

We had a complicated freehold/leasehold situation with a maisonette with two freeholds and no leasehold in place. This meant that mortgage providers would not touch it which would dramatically effect the sale price. My estate agent recommended Thackery Williams as experts in freehold/leasehold situations. I was not disappointed with this recommendation. From the first contact they gave the the owner of the other freehold and myself some great advice and guidance for how to set up a new joint freehold with two separate 999 leaseholds to put the property in an extremely favourable position to sell and maximise profit. I dealt with Gloria Jackson who then went on maternity and David Gibson took over. Both were very prompt at coming back to queries and both were clearly very knowledgeable. David managed most of the case and I was extremely impressed with the level of service and standard of work done on our case. He successfully drew up the new freehold and leasehold documents carefully listening to what we wanted and checking that we were happy at each point. He also sorted through third parties new building drawing plans and the setting up of a company for the freehold. All was done in good time and it was great not to have to chase a solicitor (as I have had to with some many others). Price seemed fair compared to the rest of the market. If you have a freehold/leasehold query or concern I would definitely recommend contacting David and the team at Thackery Williams.

We used Thackray Williams' services successfully several years ago for a lease extension and have recently done so again for a house sale and purchase. The fantastic duo of Samantha Turnbull and Ursula Puch were not put off their game, despite a long process caused by two buyers pulling out. They provided reassurance and kept us informed throughout and did a thorough and efficient job, looking into all potential issues and keeping us on track. We are very grateful for all their help and wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend them on to others. Thanks also to David Gibson in the Bromley Office for getting involved on the Leasehold side - an all-round star team!

I found both Chiamaka Okeke and David Gibson via the Law Society website . Both had outstanding customer service skills, passion and professionalism.Not forgetting Clare Hodge who in my opinion is a National Treasure.
