Conveyancer for purchasing a house

Jess and her team has gone above and beyond to keep the process of buying our first home smooth and efficient.

Hitting a few complications on the way they was fast to act and advise accordingly to get the matter dealt with swiftly.

We would highly recommend this company if you want things done professionally and time friendly

From start to finish the whole process was completed within 12 week which is great and what was advised to us.

Thank you Jess and the team you have been great

Property sale transaction

Hayley and Gillian have been extremely professional. The whole transaction has proceeded well and I felt in safe hands which has been very reassuring. I would highly recommend Hayley to anyone looking for a super approachable conveyancer to act on their behalf.

Very responsive and reassuring

I had a great experience, both Lauren who provided advice and Annette who arranged my initial enquiry were very kind and patient on the phone and very clear in their communication. Email responsiveness was brilliant.

Gillian was great at communicating with us throughout. The original fee earner was often not available but Gillian always took our calls and answered and explained any queries we had. She really went above and beyond in such a professional manner, I really couldn’t recommend anyone better to use, Gillian has made definitely want to use Thatcher and Hallam again in the future.

As with everyone I spoke to, the process of selling my house and buying another seemed to take for ever even though there was no chains involved. I was pleasantly surprised at the final costs because unclear answers from the seller meant lengthy and repeated questions. The service continued when missing fixtures and fittings were discovered when I moved in.

We're the buyers solicitor for my house sale. They were extremely slow in every aspect. Took 2-3 weeks to reply to any of my solicitors emails. Only looked at the fixtures and fittings form and questioned it (they received 2 months prior) just as we were pressing to complete. Claimed to have not had responses from my solicitors, despite seeing email evidence they received them the same day. If you want your house move to drag on and on, I filully recommend these solicitors.

Although not a client I am a 50 year old neuridivergent man. My 2 young children are my absolute world.
My ex partner has weaponised the legal system to continue with her cohesive control and abuse. I have expressed this concern to Hayley Veale, explaining that I am a victim of abuse and that I'm a vulnerable person. I have written to Hayley with 2 formal complaints, both have been ignored. I have now issued a official complaint with the solicitors regulation authority who are investigating these alligations.
Even so, the company is still enabling their client to continue with her harassment. It took strength and courage for myself to leave an abusive relationship, I am shocked, saddened and traumatised by how unprofessional the company has acted.

Awful service from Rachel she’s never in the office, missed the stamp duty deadline through incompetence. We’re still none the wiser as every time we ask for an update she’s away. If you use them for conveyancing make sure the person works 5 days a week every week.
