Excellent, Timely Service

Our experience of Thorntons has been extremely positive. The speed in which they reply to questions is exceptional, certainly in my experience of using other legal firms. No issue is ever to small, they take a very personal approach in dealing with you. Would certainly use their conveyancing and will writing services again.

Nicola Robertson of Thorntons was excellent throughout. Our flat went on the market at a difficult time — late November and just before the government budget. She gave us a honest appraisal and marketed the property so that the first person to view put in a an acceptable offer and bought the property! Professional, honest and communicative from start to finish. Highly recommended.

from Thorntons Law Llp

Dear Caroline, Thank you for your feedback and recommendation. We're delighted to hear that Nicola provided professional, honest, and communicative support throughout the sale of your flat, achieving a successful outcome even at a challenging time.
