TB & I have just helped me purchase my home, from the very beginning they have kept me well updated and informed of procedures. Frances Magee in particular who i was dealing with was very patient and professional with me even during a very stressful period, was understanding and helped move the procedures forward by going the extra mile. Well done team, and thanks again. Top job.

From start to finish Toni and Emily from TBI have been amazing with the sale and purchase of the property. Nothing was ever too much for them from the little daft questions to explaining the paperwork. They made sure we were on track and kept us updated throughout the full process.

The team, especially Amy, have been very helpful and have had to deal with my quite delayed and a bit complex case of selling mine and my ex-partner's house. There have been tensions high, a lot of chasing, a lot of doubt and a lot of stress, especially for myself as I was caught in this difficult process, however the team, led by Alison, handled it with professionalism and to the best of their ability. Thank you for staying in the process for the better part of a year and helping me with advice when I didn't know what would happen. I am glad the process is finished and I admire Amy for keeping her calm when things were difficult for people involved. Kind regards

Megan, Sophie & Jasmine did a brilliant job in conveyancing for my recent sale and purchase. It was my first time doing it and hopefully last time. Although things didn’t go accordingly, Megan kept me extremely well informed and helped guide me on complicated legalities that I’d never heard of. I cannot recommend TBI enough based on this recent experience. Thanks again.

Tilly Bailey & Irvine were a nightmare to use from start to finish. We were passed around from person to person in regards to the sale of our property and purchase of our new property. Communication was horrendous they did not communicate with each other, did not respond to emails or queries and never answered the phone. We had to contact our estate agent each time for them to push a response. They delayed opening our file for the first month which put a delay in the whole chain. There were multiple errors with all the finances and contracts that we had to point out and our financial advisor had to do most of their work for them (ie chasing banks for redemption statements / completion statements). Their fees are way above average market but the service is horrendous. A bill they sent to us stated we owed them money following all completion of the sales however once our mortgage advisor had checked it over they in fact owed us thousands. Following completion they did not pay us our owed money which we had to chase and luckily did receive it in the end the following week. We only used this firm as we were originally recommended to by the estate agents. I would never use this firm again nor would I recommend anyone else does. They cost us extra money, stress and delays!

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 matter with the team involved. Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback.

A slow start with the progress of the sale of our house. Mistakes made initially but a five star service once our file was taken over by Megan Raw. Friendly, approachable, responsive and conscientious; she turned around the whole experience and made it a positive one. Grateful that she is also handling the purchase of our new property. Thank you Megan!

All's well that ends well

The Sunderland office was dealing with my house purchase which was progressing based on a proposed completion agreed with the vendor. The presuure was suddenly ramped up when the vendor asked for a date one month earlier than planned owing to the impending expiry of their mortgage offer which they had totally forgotten to mention to anyone (including their solicitor and the estate agent). TBI Scanlans responded to this surprise very nimbly and had everything ready ahead of time. Days before we were due to exchange contracts, with completion due a week or so after, we were told that the vendors' solicitor had closed their office and gone out of business! With some limited help from the estate agent and a former conveyancer from the failed law firm, TBI Scanlans kept everything on track even though it all went down to the wire. The team did a great job in avoiding what could have been a total diaster - especially as this all occurred within the two weeks before Christmas.

Jasmine Matthew’s has been absolutely incredible. Being a first time buyer I was a complete beginner but she has been absolutely on it from start to finish, answering all questions I had whilst be very personable and friendly. I fully intend to use TBI again and hope to have jasmine dealing with my future purchases as the process from my side of the chain was flawless heavily down to her.

Thanks for this 5 star review Rachael. We'll pass this onto our entire team of solicitors, in all branches across including Hartlepool, Stockton and as far as Sunderland. They'll be over the moon to hear about how happy you were with the legal help you received. Thank you!

We have recently used Maria Northrop's team from TBI conveyancing Stockton office for the sale of my son's property. There were a few issues with the buyer which caused a few concerns, but Maria and her team especially Laura and Kelly were always helpful, courteous and polite during any transaction. They are currently handling the purchase of my son's new property and I would highly recommend them for any conveyancing support. Thank you for all your help.
