    I used Thomson & Bancks for the sale of my late mother’s home. Gemma who acted for us was excellent throughout the process - in particular her communication couldn’t have been any better. It was timely and relevant with advice given in a realistic yet empathetic manner. Gemma was proactive for the entire process which whilst not complex had some stress factors connected to it. I also felt the fee structure to be fair. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Thomson and Bancks.
