Will update

I received a prompt response to my query and was provided with a reasonably priced fee quote. A short video meeting clarified the points and allowed a draft document to be issued. It met my expectations and the document was signed. The process was carried out in good time and in line with the fee quote.

Just what I expected

I arrived at the agreed time and, after a friendly greeting, was shown into a meeting room where Georgia dealt with my request and answered my questions in a courteous and professional manner. At a subsequent meeting all the required paperwork was ready for me to sign.

Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Georgia provided courteous and professional assistance, and that the process ran smoothly for you. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Great experience throughout

Thorntons are very easy to communicate with. They are clear, concise and the information they provide is easy to understand. They respond very quickly by email or phone, and every solicitor I have dealt with at Thorntons has clearly been an expert in their field. I have used Thorntons for property conveyancing and for private client matters, and would definitely recommend them to anyone. They may be more expensive than some other firms, but they are a true testament to the phrase "You get what you pay for".

Thorntons Law Llp

Thank you for your kind and detailed feedback, Josh. We're delighted to hear that you've had consistently positive experiences with our team across different areas of law. Clear communication, expertise, and responsiveness are all things we pride ourselves on, so it's great to know they’ve made a difference for you. Your recommendation and continued trust mean a lot—thank you!

I have just had the pleasure of working with Val Young Sales negotiator from Thorntons and also her lovely team. Val was very supportive throughout the sales process for my house. She offered good clear advice and good commuication and support until a sale was negotiated. I'd definitely recommend using Thorntons for a house sale or purchase or both.

Nicola Robertson of Thorntons was excellent throughout. Our flat went on the market at a difficult time — late November and just before the government budget. She gave us a honest appraisal and marketed the property so that the first person to view put in a an acceptable offer and bought the property! Professional, honest and communicative from start to finish. Highly recommended.

from Thorntons Law Llp

Dear Caroline, Thank you for your feedback and recommendation. We're delighted to hear that Nicola provided professional, honest, and communicative support throughout the sale of your flat, achieving a successful outcome even at a challenging time.
