    Sale of Property

    Adrian and Melanie were very easy and a pleasure to deal with. Our property sale had a few setbacks due to purchases pulling out at last minute, however Adrian and Melanie were very understanding, and displayed a professional approach during the whole process.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your review Mr Reid. It can be such a struggle navigating a property sale at the best of times, let alone when purchasers pull out, last minute, but thank for recognising Adrian and Melanie's understanding and professionalism throughout. It's appreciated.

    All 3 Arms of Thackray Williams LLP are consistently excellent!

    I have been on TW Solicitors' books since 2020 until March 2026, and I can wholeheartedly say that they are an absolutely city-calibre legal outfit. Across every specialist arm of TW, you can guarantee the very same standard of excellence in service. Their solicitors — spanning Family Law, Wills & Probate, and Conveyancing — are absolutely top-notch. They know their craft deeply, and each one carries an air of quiet confidence that places you in the safest of legal hands, whilst remaining refreshingly positive about outcomes. Crucially, they also set realistic expectations — something that has always been greatly appreciated. When it comes to administrative matters, I have never once had cause to question their billing, owing to their exceptional level of transparency and clarity of presentation. Should you need to contact them, their response times are remarkably swift — invariably within the day. Their management team are humane and approachable, always willing to reach a reasonable agreement should the need arise. I could go on indefinitely, drawing from six years of real-life experience — but suffice it to say, I would not flinch for a moment in recommending these well-oiled legal minds. Their offices are equally impressive, which only confirms that this is no gimmick of a firm, but rather a responsible practice that takes genuine pride in its reputation. As I closed my files with them, it was a beautiful conclusion — and delivered precisely on time. I have never witnessed a Conveyancing team (Mr Whichcord and Mrs Wright) execute with such perfection, completing matters with a couple of days to spare. Then there is the Family & Divorce team — Mr Gorman, with his formidable network of connected barristers, commands instant respect in any courtroom; judges are left in no doubt that these are serious, no-nonsense legal minds. And Ms Lovis in Wills & Probate delivered well ahead of schedule, with a standard of presentation that was nothing short of impressive. All I can say of this excellent, honest, and transparent legal firm is this: they are, quite simply, THE Best — in Bromley and beyond. My sincerest thanks to each and every one of them, including Mr Ruff, Mrs Burstein, and the entire management team.

    I engaged Adrian Whichcord and his team, in the Sevenoaks office, for some conveyancing work on the sale of a property. I received excellent and professional service throughout the process, and they managed to meet a very demanding timescale of offer through to exchange in 25 working days. Communication throughout the process was excellent and they were always quick to respond to any queries. I've done a lot of property transactions over the years and the service Thackray's provided is the best I have ever received. Their professional fees are also competitive. I would not hesitate to use them again, or reccomend them to others.

    Peters Williams and Adrian Whichcord at Thackray Williams were absolutely brilliant when doing the conveyancing for our property. They kept us informed every step of the way and delivered info in small amounts regularly which made it easier to digest and deal with rather than collating all the info in one go nearer exchange. Peter and Adrian were professional and always accessible answering emails promptly and calling if needed. They made the whole experience far less stressful and I would highly recommend their services. Claire and Natalie at the Bromley branch were also great and thank you for your recommendation.

    Adrian Whichcord recently handled the conveyancing for us in what turned out to be a particularly complicated house move. Knowing Adrian was in control of our sale and purchase gave us great peace of mind when nothing else did. He was relentlessly thorough and professional, and kept us informed throughout. I would thoroughly recommend him.

    We recently needed a solicitor to draw up a contract to provide a loan for a house purchase and Adrian was most helpful from the start, a great communicator and went the extra mile when proceedings needed a little push. Thank you.
