Brilliant Solicitors

We used these solicitors through our estate agents as we hadn’t been overly impressed over the years with local solicitors. Tilly Bailey and Irvine were professional throughout with a special thank you to the Solicitor Rachael Lee who was outstanding even when our buyers announced they wanted to complete in the next two weeks. From start to finish the sale took 8 weeks and I cannot thank them enough.

Having dealt with many different solicitors over a lifetime TB&I stand out as an excellent organisation. Through selling a house, setting up "Power of Attorney" documents and updating Wills everything has been dealt with speedily, with minimum stress and to our complete satisfaction.

My brother and I are delighted with the service we received from Tilly, Bailey and Irvine with the sale of our Mum’s property after her sad passing last year. There were a number of challenges with the bottom of the chain and we were kept informed of progress at all times. Particular thanks to Jessica for her professionalism and support.

Highly reccommend Tilly, Bailey and Irvine. My solicitor was excellent, responsive, communicated well. You are really in good hands with TBI.

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 recently used Tilly Bailey & Irvine for the sale of my parents’ home, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. In particular, Megan, the paralegal handling our case, was outstanding. She was consistently efficient, responsive, and proactive throughout the process. Any queries were dealt with quickly, and we always felt informed and in safe hands, which made what could have been a stressful situation much more manageable. This was a stark contrast to a previous solicitor we used for my mum’s flat purchase, where communication was slow, updates were limited, and we often had to chase for progress. With Tilly Bailey & Irvine, everything moved forward smoothly without that frustration. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional conveyancing service.

Would Highly Recommend TBI

5 STARS My solicitor communicated well and took any stress out of the buying process. If I had any questions Maddison Hunter responded in a timely manner. The work was done efficiently. she was excellent at chasing the other parties and moving things along. I am very happy with TBI and would recommend them.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would highly recommend Tilly Bailey & Irvine LLP for conveyancing. I recently used their services for the purchase of my new home, and I was extremely happy with the support and professionalism I received throughout the whole process. A special thank you to Julie Brightman and Michelle Collins for their hard work, patience, clear communication and guidance. Buying a property can be a stressful experience, especially when there are many checks and deadlines involved, but they helped make the process much smoother and kept everything on track until completion. I really appreciate the time and effort they put into my case and I would happily recommend Tilly Bailey & Irvine LLP to anyone looking for a professional and reliable conveyancing team. Thank you again for your excellent service.

I think solicitors tend to get a bad rep when it comes to buying & selling houses, but I could not recommend TBI highly enough, they have been so quick to respond to enquiries and were always on the end of the phone, everything was turned around in good time. Sophie and Rebecca have been great, thank you!
