Recent house purchase

We decided to go with Sylvia at Thomas & Bancks after a recommendation. We’re so glad we did. From start to finish we felt confident we were in good hands. We had a worrying few days right near completion but Sylvia and her team worked tirelessly to get us over the line.

Excellent service

Handled the sale of my house in Evesham. Sylvia was amazing, kept us up to date at all times and was friendly and professional. Also chased the buyer’s solicitors with tenacity and showed patience when the sale dragged on. Thank you!

Excellent property conveyance

I have used Thomson and Bancks several times recently for selling and transferring family property. They have impressed me with their strong levels of communication, attention to detail and relative speed in concluding things.

Once again Sylvia Gilham and her conveyancing team at Thomson Bancks Pershore office have provided us with an exemplary service. On this occasion it was the sale of a leasehold property, which adds another layer of complexity to the process, to first time buyers. From uploading all the documents and information to their portal, which worked extremely well, to ongoing communication with us and proactive representation with the buyers solicitor, we could not fault them. It is abundantly clear that there is a highly devloped caring attitude towards their clients and we cannot thank them enough. It goes without saying that we have no hesitation in recommending their services. Barbara and Brian
