Excellent service from Hayley

5

Hayley at Thatcher and Hallam was recommended to be by family following their positive experience with her. I used Hayley for the purchase of my new house and she was fantastic from start to finish. Great communication, proactive, professional but also approachable. I have had experience with a number of other conveyancers over the past few years before moving back to the area, and none of them come close to the service from Hayley and the Thatcher and Hallam team. I would not hesitate to recommend Hayley to others.

Probate Sale - Excellent Support

5

This was an unfortunate deceased estate sale. Probate took forever and the appointed legal team (not Thatcher & Hallam) dragged it out but Hayley was amazing, did everything behind the scenes, dealing with the estate agent and buyers solicitors. I was kept informed every step of the way and as soon as probate was granted the sale went through smoothly.

I’ve used thatcher and Hallam twice now. Hayley helped us when purchasing my house and also when selling my house. Both times the service has been brilliant. Super fast and easy to communicate with but also very informative.
Really happy with the decision to use thatcher and Hallam it made a big task a lot more manageable.

Thank you Hayley

We were so pleased with the service we received from Thatcher & Hallam, they made the process of buying our first home stress and hassle free and for that, we cannot thank them enough. A personal thank you to Hayley who was just great! She was so patient with when we had queries and questions and she was always on hand to answer any queries. Thank you Hayley and Team. We would definitely recommend T&H and would have no qualms in using them again in future. Thanks again from Rhiannon & Jay

My wife and I used Hayley as our solicitor for both our house sale and purchase. During the pandemic we had multiple set backs and properties fall through, but Hayley's advice was brilliant throughout. She is incredibly responsive - often replying to emails and our queries within minutes, kind and a strong advocate for her clients dealing with other solicitors. We would always recommend Hayley and the company for all your house sale/purchasing needs! Even when Hayley was away on annual leave, our case was never neglected, the locum who took over Hayley's workload in this time was equally responsive, helpful and brilliant.

Hayley from Thatcher + Hallam recently acted for us in our sale and purchase. I cannot rate her/them high enough. They made what turned out to be a stressful experience as easy as possible and kept us sane. Hayley was friendly approachable and very proficient in what she does. She answered my emails very quickly. I would have no hesitation in using Thatcher + Hallam again and would recommend them to anyone.

We have had the pleasure of dealing with Hayley Wakefield twice now and she is absolutely amazing! So professional and responsive, she really does make you feel like you are the only client she is dealing with; I was never waiting longer than 20 minutes for a response to an email or a phone call. She went above and beyond on both our sale and purchase - High recommend Thatcher & Hallam and would definitely suggest using Hayley, we really cannot fault her or the company at all.
