We couldn’t recommend Bethany Smith highly enough. Throughout what turned out to be quite a complex purchase, we were kept extremely well informed at every stage and always felt that we understood exactly where things stood. Bethany was incredibly thorough throughout the whole process and took the time to explain everything clearly, particularly when more complicated issues arose. We really appreciated how understanding, patient and reassuring she was, while still making sure that everything was properly investigated and dealt with before we proceeded. We are extremely grateful to Bethany for all of her hard work and would absolutely recommend her.

House purchase

During the buying process on a property I was assigned Rachael and Charmaine as my legal team. They were friendly, approachable and helpful in all matters. Any queries I had were answered promptly and fully. The transaction took some length of time through no fault of this legal team but they kept me informed and up to date of any checkpoints and milestones and promptly asked for documents ahead of time making it run very smooth on my side. I have found a great legal team here and will definitely be using them for any future legal matters. Thanks again Rachael and Charmaine, your help was very much appreciated!

Thank you!

We’ve just completed on the purchase of our home and I wanted to leave a review for Kelly Levoir’s Team at Tilly Bailey & Irvine. The whole process has taken a while and there have definitely been a few stressful moments along the way, but the team have always been helpful, professional and responsive. A special mention has to go to Frankie, the paralegal, who has been incredibly patient, friendly and helpful throughout. I know I’ve asked a lot of questions and needed reassurance at various points, but Frankie has always taken the time to explain things clearly and never made me feel like I was being a nuisance. Thank you to Kelly, Frankie and the rest of the team for helping us finally become homeowners. We really appreciate all of your help in getting us over the line.

Probate

I would give zero stars if i could! TBI have been ‘managing’ my grandparents estate. One passed away THREE years ago and the other nearly two. Probate went through nearly a year ago and TBI have still failed to process the formalities. The lack of communication has been appalling. The majority of the rest of the family have removed their own wills from TBI due to their poor standards. My grandparents trusted TBI to resolve their estate upon passing. They would be furious to know about this farce!

We apologise that you haven’t experienced the high level of customer service that we pride ourselves upon. We would be grateful if you could contact us with your details so we can discuss this with the team involved as, due to anonymity, we are currently unable to locate the matter. Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback.
