Jenny completed the sale from start to finish. She was brilliant and made sure any issues that arose were quickly resolved so that the sale could move forward. She handled all correspondence and took the stress out of it. Highly recommend and will always be using Almy and Thomas in future.

Excellent service

Myself and my partner recently bought a house and used Almy and Thomas to progress this. We had Jenny Plumb and she was very efficient and left no stone unturned when it came to the checks and ensuring everything was in order. There was pressure from the chain to progress the sale quickly and Jenny did everything she could to ensure that this went through as quickly and smoothly as possible, whilst keeping us updated in the process. Would definitely recommend to anyone requiring legal services and will use again in the future should we need to.

Great solicitors

Stephanie was my solicitor, she is absolutely amazing, supportive, always promptly answered my enquires by email and phone calls providing me with reassurance. Due to the nature of my case in court in could have gone either way, Stephanie and the barrister were outstanding and truthfully fought resulting in my favour. I would highly recommend Almy and Thomas solicitors.

I would like to express my deepest and most sincere gratitude to Mr Evans and team for dealing with my consent order. My consultation with Mr Evans was straight to the point, friendly and very helpful. Our communication from then on has been prompt, efficient, hassle-free. We discussed figures with honesty and trust. Mr Evans guided, explained, pointed everything with clarity, support, professionalism and immense knowledge. It has been a real pleasure to deal with Mr Evans and team, a special 'Thank you' to Caroline and Ellen. Reception team was always polite and helpful. I am most glad I chose Almy & Thomas and I would recommend them to anyone needing help with their matrimonial matters.

I recently had an extremely disappointing experience with Almy & Thomas solicitors that I feel compelled to share. I initially engaged their services for my first property purchase, and I was quoted just over £1,000. However, by the time the transaction was completed, I found myself paying a staggering £3,000. This significant discrepancy in fees was only the tip of the iceberg. Communication with the team was disheartening. I found myself consistently ignored when trying to reach out via phone calls and emails, which only added to the frustration of what was already a long process. It took a total of 8 months for the purchase to finally go through—a timeline that felt unnecessarily prolonged without any clear updates or explanations. Given my experience, I would not recommend Almy & Thomas to anyone looking for reliable and professional legal services. The lack of communication, unexpected costs, and the way I was treated throughout the entire process have left a lasting negative impression. I genuinely regret choosing them for my first property purchase and urge others to stay away. There are certainly better options available out there.

Dear Ms Pietranik, we have considered your review that you left on our website, and you are aware of correspondence that we have had with yourself, whereby we do not agree with your complaint and indeed we provided a detailed response on 23rd April. Our findings contradict the comments you make, based on a review of your file. However, we note your position in this matter, and we will take this no further.

Owen at Almy and Thomas has dealt with my matrimonial case. He has been extremely professional at the same time as understanding and considerate to the situation. He has been in good communication with me throughout, explaining anything I may have been unsure or concerned about. With his help and professionalism I have now reached a final outcome which is a huge relief and weight off my shoulders. Caroline and everyone else at Almy and Thomas who I have spoken to during this case has been friendly and professional. I am very grateful to everyone for their time. I would highly recommend Owen and Almy and Thomas for legal requirements. I will certainly be in touch with them for any other future legal requirements I may have.

Excellent Service

Jenny Plumb did the conveyancing for me on a very complicated auction property with a very tight 4 week turnaround and was excellent from my initial contact to completion. Even before being instructed she provided lots of useful food for thought in my initial phone call and from then on was very available when needed and did a lot of chasing and managing of the other stakeholders in the purchase. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Couldn't be bettered

Julie Hill acted for me in a house sale. I would now use Julie wherever she was. I was amazed at how quickly and easily the process happened, due to the excellence and dedication of Julie and the other staff concerned. The speed and efficiency were so much better than any other solicitor or firm I've used for many years.

A poor experience at a distressing time

I used this firm for both probate and conveyancing following the death of a parent. They were not helpful, made several mistakes and were slow and uninformed. I went to this firm on a recommendation as I believe in supporting local business, but would never carry this forward. One member of staff however, was extremely good once she discovered the issues and for this reason I give 2 stars. The firm needs to overhaul its outdated practices. One of the most distressing things was being called by the wrong name with the wrong salutation, an easy thing to get right! Legal advice was poor and I found out more myself doing research. Not good I am afraid.

Initially I spoke to Jenny regarding an auction property, and liking her approach, asked her to do the conveyancing once I had managed to make the purchase. Very glad I did, as she went above and beyond. Julie and Lin who also helped at various points were always reassuring and very efficient. I would definitely recommend the whole conveyancing team.

I cannot recommend Almy & Thomas and Jenny Plumb in particular, highly enough. Jenny kept me informed with regular updates throughout the conveyancing process and answered any queries promptly. All the team were extremely professional, friendly and efficient. I would definitely use them again in the future.

Julie Hill and her colleague, Charlotte Bray, did my conveyancing for both the sale and purchase of properties. They were superb throughout and unbelievably patient despite some really complex legal matters that came up. Julie and Charlotte were quick and efficient to respond but at the same time very considered in their response. I recommend their services for conveyancing and would definitely use them again if needed. Very professional.
