Smoothest House Purchase We Could Ask For

5

Jess Taylor was absolutely incredible from start to finish! This was our first house purchase and Jess was very helpfully knowledgeable in helping us along the way. She always acted with such professionalism and we couldn’t have asked for a smoother house purchase. Jess is a true credit to Thornton Jones.

Terrific

5

I have used other solicitors who make you feel stressed and anxious owing to not returning calls can never get through on the phone and who never ring back
This is the second time l have used Jess and Natalie in a short period of time. I would highly recommend there first class service, if you require a team that always ring back, always get a reply and can see what’s going on via an app they update regular l have just sold my house and l know l could relay on them totally therefore felt stress free and it felt they were working for and with me and if any problem came up which often does there were on the ball and l knew they just got on with it. I would not hesitate to use them again
5 star 10/10

This is the third time I have used Thornton Jones to buy and sell my first house and buy my second. It says it all as a returning customer no need to look anywhere else as they have always given the best service.

We used Thornton Jones for the sale of our property.
Jessica and Natalie were very efficient and always responded promptly to any questions.
Having the app is really useful to keep an eye on progress etc.
Couldn't have gone better
Thank you

Excellent service from Natalie and Jess. The advantage of a phone app to track progress was great. Both individuals kept me updated frequently and were quick to respond to emails which was a good service given workloads. Would recommend

Brilliant price & service, Jess & Natalie provided quick updates and helped to advise when needed. Provide an app to help track the progress. Also handy that they have multiple branches for dropping paperwork in when required, would recommend to anybody and will be using Thornton Jones for any future Solicitor requirements.

Jessica and Natalie made our experience of purchasing our property stress-fee. And their efficiency is amazing. The seller was pushing for completion in a month. We didn’t think it’d be possible and told the seller so. But Jessica and Natalie completed the procedure on the seller’s desired date. Truly amazing. We’re very impressed.
My overall experience with Jessica and Natalie was excellent.
Because of my pleasant experience, I’ll now use Thornton Jones when I need a solicitor for whatever. I already know what I will ask them to help me with next.
Another thing I’d like to mention: Their price is competitive, which is very nice.

Myself and my partner used Thornton Jones when we recently bought our first home. We didn’t know anything about buying a property but the ladies at Thornton Jones in Garforth made everything super easy to understand. They worked very quickly, efficiently, explained everything in simple terms so we could understand. Any questions we had I was able to pick up the phone or send an email in confidence, knowing I’d have an answer back by the end of that day. The process never felt stressful or overwhelming.
I’ve recommended Thornton Jones to two of my friends who are also looking to buy their first home, once of which has contacted them already.
I will definitely use Thornton Jones in the future and will continue to recommend them to my family and friends.

Thank you to Jess Taylor, Molly Thornton and Francesca Thomas and the rest of the fab team ☺️

What an amazing bunch of people! Having had a bad experience with a previous solicitor, we couldn't have made a better decision than to appoint Thornton Jones to deal with our house sale and purchase. We were so looked after. Special thanks go to Jess Taylor who was always a step ahead of the game, but everyone we dealt with was always happy to help and really friendly and lovely. Thank you everyone!!

We are close to completing on the sale of a house and Clare and her team have been fabulous. Jess who has been our main point of contact has been worth her weight in gold. The solicitors acting for our buyer have not been too great but due to Jess constantly chasing and being one step ahead, she's made what should be a very stressful process relatively pain free. Thornton Jones also use a great app so you can see the stages throughout the process. These are 100% the solicitors you should use, you wont get any better.

So happy I decided to go with Thornton Jones. Jess has been fantastic and would use her services again should I need them. I’ve heard so many horror stories and glad I didn’t experience this with TJ.

The web based platform and onboarding service took a bit of getting used to at first. Once I understood how the notifications and information exchange worked I realised what an extremely efficient and professional service was provided by Natalie and Jessica.

We have had, what has felt like a complicated experience with buying our onward propert due to the chain we were in. However, Jessica and Natalie have been nothing but outstanding in the service she has provided to us. Thank you and will recommend Thornton Jones to anyone requiring a conveyancing solicitor!
