Sharon Connolly at Thorntons Property was fantastic throughout our house sale and purchase. She made the entire process feel smooth and manageable, guiding us through every step with clarity and confidence. Her communication was always prompt and reassuring, and she explained all the legal details in a way that was easy to understand. Sharon handled everything efficiently and ensured both transactions progressed without any issues. We really appreciated her professionalism and supportive approach during what can often be a stressful time.

I visited Thoran Property on Saturday and was advised that Thoran Solicitors would help me on Monday with witness signatures for my affidavit. However, when I went to Thoran Solicitors, the receptionist informed me that they only provide witness signatures for their own clients. This caused me to waste my time and effort. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Thoran Property or Thoran Solicitors to anyone who is not already their client, especially for services like witnessing affidavit signatures.
