Efficient Service

Selling a house can be stressful, and anything that removes some of that stress is welcome! This is where Alison from Thornton Jones helped enormously with managing that stress .
She provided all the information that we needed and answered any questions that arose during the sales process. Communications from her were always clear, concise, which helped us understand what was going on and what to expect next.
I have no problem with recommending Alison and the company she represents.

Alison Jewell handled the transfer of my equity in my previous home to my wife & the purchase of my new home. Alison kept me informed throughout & always responded quickly to any questions I had.
A year later I referred back to Alison when it was discovered that my wife’s solicitors had not sent off the paperwork to the Land Registry as they had ceased trading. Alison once again was quick to respond & help me through this problem too. Throughout both pieces of work Alison was unbelievably quick to reply to any correspondence I sent her & her advice & help always reassured me.

Excellent Friendly Service

5

Quick, prompt, friendly and professional service. It took a while to get things moving through no fault of Alison or her team but once we were off we were always kept informed of developments and we would have no hesitation at all in using the services of Thornton Jones in the future. Lovely firm!

Outstanding service - friendly & professional beyond the call of duty

Alison worked for my mum on First Registration of the house. When my mum passed away, she then dealt with the conveyancing until eventual sale. In total over a couple of years. Alison was extremely helpful, diligent and proactive - even to the extent of offering to call in my mum’s house to deliver/collect something.
She was also very friendly and polite - a wonderful combination and I would readily choose her for any future work and recommend her highly to others. (I’m no relation and my only interaction with Alison is through this business - just a very satisfied client).

Excellent solicitors!

5

I unfortunately had a really difficult time selling my house, it took just over a year and the whole process was extremely stressful. If I didn't have Alison and Rachele on my case, I still don't know how the sale would have ever completed. From start to finish Alison and Rachele were always responsive, available and willing to help me understand every stage of the process. I'm so, so grateful for all their knowledge and guidance, I cannot praise and speak highly enough of Thornton Jones of my experience and I will definitely be using them again!

Both Alison and Rachele made what was a complicated sale of my late fathers property much simpler by providing much needed help and guidance. Their communication was second to none and they made what could have been a very stressful process far easier for us. I have already recommended them to a friend and will continue to do so in the future.

We were assigned Alison and Rachele for the purchase of our new property that we completed on recently. We received a great service and the team were always happy to discuss updates with us over the phone. Alison was very personable and we felt that nothing was too much trouble.

Had a great experience moving house. Alison made everything so simple and easy, nothing was ever too much and always went above and beyond to ensure my partner and I were happy. If you're in need of a great solicitor then be sure to ask for Alison Jewel. Thanks so much for all your work.

Alison and Rachele dealt with sale of a property on my behalf. I have been delighted with the advice, help and service provided. I mainly corresponded via email and all queries that I had were answered promptly the same day. They had a lot to put up with from the buyers solicitor and dealt with it in a professional manner. All the staff that I met when I went into the Garforth office were also very polite and friendly, which always helps. Thank you Alison, Rachele and the rest of the team at Thornton Jones Solicitors.

Fantastic service from Alison and Rachele - always kept me up to date throughout my house sale, chased everything to get a quick completion and dealt with some unusual queries and issues along the way to avoid any hold ups. Very professional and would thoroughly recommend.

I cannot thank Thornton Jones enough for all their help with my house purchase! They helped me wherever they could and answered all of my questions to make sure I fully understood everything. A special thanks to Alison Jewell who dealt mostly with my case and was always very kind and friendly!

Thanks again, I would definitely recommend Thornton Jones.

A truly great company, with a personal and caring quality, ensuring their clients have the best experience possible. I'll definitely be using them for all of my affairs going forward, as well as referring friends and family in need of a solicitor. Thanks again Alison & Stuart!
