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.

House sale

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.

Excellent service from a number of departments.

Following the passing of my father in law, we (the family) engaged the services of Tilly Bailey and Irvine LLP, Stockton office, who held his will. From first point of contact to conclusion of probate we were dealt with in a very professional manner but maintaining a friendly manner. We then engaged the services of Michelle Collins and her team at the Hartlepool office to deal with the conveyancing/sale of the property we had to sell. Again, the team were professional but maintaining a friendly manner in there dealings with us as a family. We were kept upto date at all times via email and phone. Excellent service.

Maria Northrop of the Stockton office led me through a long and protracted sale and a complicated purchase. Very professional when dealing with my matters and an unusual scenario purchasing a house in probate. I would recommend.

I used this solicitors to buy a house. When I bought my first house the solicitors I used would take days to reply to emails and didn’t really explain the legal terminology to me, so I expected the same from TBI, however I could have been more wrong. Alison and her team were amazing, answering any questions I had. All of my emails were answered on the same day. I also got equity from my previous home with the help from Denise, she was brilliant and explained everything simply and clearly. Thank you to all of the teams that I dealt with. Your help is much appreciated and made a stressful time a lot more relaxed ☺️

I just want to post that we had a fantastic experience with Michelle in the Hartlepool office last week. We had some missing documents from my late father from a different firm and she went above and beyond to help us. We had limited information and her communication was fantastic. We will definitely return for our own Wills, thank you so much for making a difficult situation so easy

Non Standard House Sale

As our sale was of a type that we were unfamiliar with, plus at long distance and digital. The process was well explained and when we requested a paper version it was swiftly supplied. Contact was simple, emails answered in a timely manner. Our particular transaction didn't require speed for completion, when a date was put forward it was met without any holdups. We found Bethany particularly pleasant and easy to speak to.

I have worked with Maria Nothrop’s team in Stockton. She is clearly a very sought-after and busy professional, so getting in touch could sometimes take time. That said, her first expertise is top tier. She was extremely thorough, paid incredible attention to detail, and gave me brilliant advice. Thank you for your hard work!

Wonderful service from Denise Donkin. The stress of paying off a help to buy loan is not something I wish to ever experience again. But Denise went above and beyond for me to help me sort it out as fast and painless as possible. Although the over all experience of conducing the pay back with Help to Buy was a stressful experience. My needs were met above expectations and as someone who is clueless, Denise explained things in a simple manner which made the process pleasant. I used them when I purchased my house 5 years ago and this is why I returned. Many thanks Pippa

I worked with Alison, Meg and Chris and the rest of the conveyancing team 4. I found my emails and phone calls with them extremeley helpful and they were able to settle my worries and nerves especially when waiting for the buyers side to get what they needed to in order. When I requested chasing or information they were straight onto it and really appreciate the work and effort they put in to ensure everything we could control was and so we were ahead of the process where we could be
