Will and house conveyancing

Both the renewal of our wills and simultaneous house conveyancing wäre conducted in an extremely efficient and Professional manner by Louise and Katherine. Our wills had lockend very tired and rather untidy. Louise sorted this out within a week. Although not yet completed Katherine has been a huge help in sorting out the sale and purchase of our house, always chasing and communicating.

from Thorntons Law Llp

Thank you for your feedback, Derek. We are pleased Louise resolved your documentation so swiftly, and that Katherine is guiding your property matters forward. We wish you the very best as your move nears completion.

Thorntons handled the sale of my old property and the purchase of my new home. With both transactions I found them to be thorough, honest and supportive. Everything was explained in detail and there was no pressure placed on me to buy or sell. Instead knowledgeable assistance was given regarding my decisions. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Big thanks to the whole team in Cupar. J.

from Thorntons Law Llp

Thank you for your kind recommendation, J. We are delighted to hear that the team provided thorough and supportive guidance throughout both transactions. It is particularly pleasing to know that you felt well informed and confident in your decisions.

I had the displeasure of dealing with Karen Stevenson today. She continually interrupted me and spoke over the top of me. When I asked her companies complaint procedure she became more abrasive and said she had no idea what it was. Poor service from a reputable firm.
