Extremely efficient!

We have just moved into our new home and Claire from TSP did our conveyancing. We have found the service very efficient and responsive, with the process moving along quickly and efficiently. We have always been able to get hold of Claire with any queries and there have been no delays whatsoever. Compared to our last house move, very impressed.

Exceptional Service from TS&P!

We recently had the pleasure of working with TS&P to sell our property, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, their team was professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. They guided us through every step of the process, ensuring we understood what to expect. We were impressed by their communication; we always felt informed and supported. Thanks to their hard work and dedication. If you're looking to sell your home, we highly recommend TS&P. They truly go above and beyond!

Very efficient conveyancing

If you want done, Richard will pull out all the stops to make it happen. Simple, straightforward, efficient and available. Just completed on a sale and purchase that was a bit of a hairy ride at times being part of a chain that didn’t all do things quite as efficiently. Richard cut through all of their shenanigans and simplified the process, and I felt that he ‘had my back’. They may not be the cheapest but you get what you pay for and while others appear cheaper, it seems there are additional costs that make it less so. I used Richard on another more straightforward purchase in recent years which would have completed in 7 weeks (had vendor not withdrawn sale at last minute). This period included the whole of spring/Easter with all those bank holidays! It was made easier by them being local so I could just pop in to the office to sign documents straightaway to speed things up. You also get a direct number and mobile number to speak to Richard directly.

Family Law

Cold, Dismissive, and Incompetent — Avoid at All Costs

Review for Louise Margiotta — Thompson Smith and Puxon I attended a 10-minute initial consultation with Louise Margiotta costing £370 plus VAT. The meeting was rushed, dismissive, and utterly lacking in meaningful legal advice or engagement. Louise repeatedly asked if I “got here okay” and demanded my full name — including my middle name — despite all my details already being provided and having passed extensive anti-money laundering checks. When I questioned this, she bluntly said she couldn’t offer legal advice without it. She also embarrassingly asked for the date of my “wedding” during a divorce consultation. The correct legal term is “marriage.” This fundamental mistake showed a shocking lack of preparation and attention. The pre-call discussions were hurried, and the intense meeting reflected a clear lack of consideration for my time and circumstances. I found Louise overbearing, lacking empathy, and unprofessional in her approach. Without any substantive discussion, Louise abruptly ended the meeting as soon as she decided we were “not compatible,” leaving me with nothing but frustration and a refund. This was less a legal consultation and more a costly compatibility test, wasting my time and money. Louise’s rushed, indifferent attitude made it clear my case was not worth her time. Adding insult to injury, Nicola Crisell’s complaint investigation was dismissive and one-sided. Despite me being a repeat client, I was never asked for my side before the complaint was closed. This disregard for repeat business is particularly disappointing. While I received a refund, I strongly advise anyone seeking clear, professional legal support to look elsewhere.

A representative from Thompson Smith And Puxon LLP responded to this review

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that your visit to our office was brief—under 10 minutes—and during that time, we did our best to assist you promptly and courteously. Early in your meeting with Louise, it became clear that Thompson Smith and Puxon was not the right fit for you and this was discussed with you directly. You were issued a full refund, and were not left at any disadvantage. We also want to emphasise that we are committed to maintaining a respectful and professional environment for both our clients and our staff. We always welcome constructive feedback and remain committed to providing a high standard of service to all who seek our support.
