Property conveyance

The property conveyance process was shorter than predicted which was good news.
We had however repeated requests for information and documentation which had already been provided on several occasions.
Answers I gave to the buyers solicitors questions to my solicitor were passed on without being read which I believe would have saved more time and avoided repeat emails.
There was confusion about the names of the clients and powers of attorney right throughout the whole process with incorrect documentation being produced, up to and including the final surplus funds instruction form.

Excellent service

Frances Magee at the Stockton branch handled the conveyancing of my dad’s property and, quite frankly, I couldn’t have asked for a better service. She was always on hand when required and dealt with all my inquiries efficiently and politely. Selling the family home is a stressful experience and Frances made the process much easier.

Purchase

Maria Northrop and her team provided an excellent service and responded to my queries quickly. Communication was key in this purchase as the process was longer than usual due to a property management company. However, Maria chased and gave clear advice on the process.

Highly recommended

Fantastic service from Maria Northrop's conveyancing team at TBI Stockton when buying our house; they were incredibly efficient. We cannot thank them enough for their diligence and part in ensuring that we moved into our new property by a specific deadline (indeed, had it not been for our sellers solicitor, we'd have moved in weeks before we actually did). Everything our end was done and dusted in good time. Every email was answered promptly, the phone was always answered and every single member of the team was able to answer any query I raised. They were just incredible.

I recently sold my property and use Tamara Bright Team at Tilly Bailey & Irvine at Bridge Road Stockton. What a fantastic prompt service I received from them. I was kept informed of everything at every step of the way. They were very prompt in sending me the documentation and answered any questions I had (believe me there was a lot of them) I had not sold a house for 36 years and found the process so easy and painless with this team behind me
Thank you and I have already recommended you to some of my friends snd business contacts
