Needed to make a Will

Needed to draw up a Will but wasn't sure what type was required.
After having a consultation with Charlene and the team at TW
Everything was explained clearly and responded to swiftly so I had total confidence in their work.
Charlene kept me updated accordingly so that the will got drawn up to my specific specifications.
I would highly recommend TW to friends and family.

First Class!

Marcus & his team have been nothing short of amazing! The thing we loved was with previous solicitors trying to contact them has been near on impossible! Marcus & team would take the time to speak with you on the phone and dispense genuine advise! Nothing was ever too much trouble and we were made to feel very valued. We would have no hesitation on using Thackray Williams again and we will be more than happy to recommend to family and friends.

Excellent collaboration

We decided to go with them at a developer's recommendation, and we weren't disapointed.
We had both a property buy and a sale to do, and the support given throughout the whole process was excellent. We had some hiccups along the way, which were dealt with very professionally.
I totally recommend TW and I will deffinitely work with them again, if needed.

Sale and Purchase - Excellent service

I can not praise Marcus and Lauren enough. The communication was great, everything was really quick and Marcus was always there with professional and practical advise. Marcus really helped to make a very stressful situation less so.
I would highly recommend him and will definitely use him when I move in future.
Thanks!

Made the conveyancing process as easy as possible

I found the support and assistance throughout the sale process, fast and easy to understand. They were responsive and more than happy to provide answers to any queries or concerns I had along the way. Claudia and Melanie did a great job looking after us throughout. I would have no issues recommending them.

A 5 Star Service

I used Thackray Williams to help me sell my late mum's house. Both the informal help and support and the professional advice I received was outstanding. Communication was never a problem and everything was done in a very timely and effective fashion. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Completing a Deed of Surrender

Sibel has been an absolute pleasure to work with, she helped us secure the funds for A surrender and made sure we were happy at all times before completion.

She worked past normal working hours and went above and beyond the expected. Communication is great, we never had to worry about not being able to get a hold of Sibel on the phone or email.

Would highly recommend Sibel to everyone looking to close on a deed of surrender.

Incredible solicitors

Claudia and Melanie were both amazing throughout the process of selling our first home and buying our second. After having an awful experience with solicitors a couple of years ago with purchasing, they both made the process so stress free. We were constantly kept updated throughout the whole process, everything was done so speedily and efficiently. They both are so understanding also and were more than happy to answer all of my questions throughout. They are both incredible and I would recommend them to everyone!

Alisha Maidment handled our lease extension.

Despite coming onto the case mid transaction, she quickly got acquainted with the details of the case. Once she joined, I felt the transaction moved quicker and smoother.

She used effective, clear and concise communications skills to explain the details of our lease which put us in the best position to progress with our purchase.

She used great people skills to manage delays caused by the other party in a way that kept the transaction progressing.

I can’t commend her enough on her professionalism, knowledge and approachable character and would recommend to others.

Amit Bhangham is our go to solicitor. Highly responsive, works with us and our client to ensure that our client is protected and is able to close a transaction in a remarkably fast manner, a lot more efficiently than the current industry standard, and that often means life or death to a property transaction so his expertise and commitment are next to none and invaluable.

I had an excellent experience with this company on a house sale. I was lucky enough to get Claudia and Mel acting for me and they managed to balance being extremely professional and efficient with being totally human and user friendly. Couldn't have asked for more, thanks to both of them.

Absolutely brilliant service, couldn’t ask for a better team to help me as a first time buyer for my flat. Marcus is amazing, replies so quickly and is thorough, professional and very down to earth. Explains things to make them easy to understand and great service from the whole team especially Lauren and Marcus.

I’ve been represented by Thackray Williams for over a decade and have always been happy with the service and advice I’ve received. I’ve worked for some years with Tom Coling who has been excellent, always professional, has gone above and beyond and has given exceptional advice in all that time. I’ve been able to trust Tom to manage incredibly difficult circumstances for me.
