Excellent service

A huge thank you to Sue at Stockport for her professionalism and care during the sale of our Mum's property. The sale process became very protracted due to the low standard of other large law firms in the chain and her persistence and patience kept us sane during what has been an emotional time. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Housing & Property

Absolute shambles from start to finish.

Engaged in July, no progress at all for weeks, unable to speak to Jo Lawson, when finally insisted on an appointment was told she was leaving that day! Went to office to complain and see MD, office was utter shambles, MD didn't even know who we were! Agreed to personally take work on but then passed it around a series of temps so we never knew who was dealing with our conveyancing from one week to the next! We had to do all the chasing for updates and were never proactively informed. Two ladies,Cath and Karen ,rescued our work and progressed it to the end so thanks to them are due. However even the final bill was wrong and did not include a 10 per cent discount for poor service which we were promised!

Conveyance March 2025

I would recommend THG for both conveyance and probate. The conveyance of my mother’s property was complex and involved additional work to be done by Ms Tonkin. She was efficient and effective, and always available for support

Purchase of first home

Tina has been absolutely exceptional from start to finish of our property purchase. Tina's communication was great, she was always available for any questions we had (which was a lot with it being our first house purchase) and clearly has a huge amount of knowledge and experience. She ensured that everything ran smoothly and honestly made the house buying process easy for us. I will definitely be using Tina for any future purchases and would highly recommend her to anyone starting out on this process.

Tina and Sue were absolute game changer for us. In a world where buying a house can be one of the most stressful experiences, Tina and Sue made it straight forward. They both are quick to respond, consultative in approach every step of the way and gave us reassurance and clear communication throughout If you're looking for a local solicitor to guide you through the purchase or sale of your home, look no further. I'd recommend Tina and Sue to anyone that asks me "do I know any good solicitors for conveyancing"... they're the best Thanks again guys!
