Alexandra handled a difficult inheritance distribution, due to family members complicating the process , and indicating they would contest the will. Eventually after further negotiations, the other parties accepted a higher amount, agreed by the executor, to bring the dispute to a conclusion. Alex had to complete further duties and lots of consultations with all parties to reach a satisfactory conclusion whilst enduring complaints and insults from the two family members disputing the amounts they were left in the will. She was professional and thorough with all dealings throughout the Probate and Will distribution.

Lovely place, lovely people.
We were recommended Thatcher & Hallam for conveyancing by our estate agent. My partner contacted them to instruct them on a Thursday and didn’t receive a response until the following Tuesday. When they did reply, the response was unhelpful. A week later, we still hadn’t heard anything further, aside from a slightly snotty email saying they were busy and asking us not to contact them. Not a great impression. As of today, they still haven’t come back to confirm. As a result, our buyer was left waiting over a week for us simply to confirm basic conveyancer details for the memorandum of sale. This made us look disorganised and could easily have put our sale at risk. The estate agent who originally recommended them ultimately advised us to abort and go elsewhere. The new conveyancer they recommended replied and got it sorted within an hour - and even replied out of office hours. If they can’t be bothered to respond at the very start of the process, I dread to think how responsive they would be during the actual conveyancing. We also made it clear that we had another sale and a purchase coming up, so they’ve effectively lost out on two sales and a purchase due to being so slow, unprofessional and unresponsive in even getting themselves instructed. I’d strongly recommend avoiding them and choosing another firm that actually wants new conveyancing customers.
Dear Joseph, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience with our firm over the Bank Holiday period fell below expectations. We always aim to issue quotations promptly, however on rare occasions, delays can occur due to unforeseen staff absences. We have shared your feedback with the team and are reviewing our processes to help prevent similar delays in the future. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding. We hope you will consider using our services again in the future. Kind regards, Mitchell
I rang to enquire about medical negligence as it was heavily advertised on their website. Receptionist unaware they offered this which was very concerning and gave me no confidence in using this company. It seems that they’ve gone very downhill since the 90’s when my family used them.
Dear Laura, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, although we are of course concerned to hear of your experience. Our team of solicitors do handle medical negligence claims, and I would be grateful if you could reach out to my colleague James at jweller@th-law.co.uk for further information on this point. We would like to provide additional training to ensure that your experience is not repeated. Unfortunately, I am unable to locate your call in our call logs, and I would be grateful if you could email me at mfellingham@th-law.co.uk to discuss further. I hope that you will give us an opportunity to put this right and look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Mitchell
Exceptional Service from Hayley Wakefield at Thatcher & Hallam Hayley was absolutely brilliant throughout what turned out to be a very long and stressful house sale and purchase. The process took over a year and nearly collapsed several times due to buyers dropping out and poor solicitors further down the chain, but Hayley was consistently excellent. She is professional, approachable, and explains everything in plain English, which made things so much easier to understand. Hayley always responded quickly and was at the end of the phone whenever I needed clarification or reassurance. Her calm, proactive approach kept everything moving when it could have fallen apart. I would highly recommend Hayley Wakefield to anyone seeking reliable and professional legal support for property transactions.
Dear Louise, Thank you so much for your review for Hayley Wakefield. It is great to see that she was supportive and reassuring throughout your house sale and purchase. We hope you settle in well to your new home and we will pass your review on to Hayley. Kind regards, Thatcher + Hallam
