Tinklin Springall

020 8402 6222

Tinklin Springall Solicitors has been providing legal services from our Bromley office since 1983, originally by moving a department of a very long established central London firm to Bromley, as the partners lived locally. The office grew, and after a second office was opened in Beckenham, they became self-contained. The two founding partners and staff left the London partnership but retained the local offices. We are therefore not your typical high street practice, we continue to run as a London firm, based locally and still retain many of the London clients. Our work areas include all aspects of conveyancing of residential and commercial property, litigation, including dispute resolution, employment, family and matrimonial law, wills, trusts and probate. As local and longstanding solicitors we have developed a rapport within the communities we serve and throughout London, the South East and beyond. We have established a reputation for providing first class legal advice for highly competitive fees. Read more...

I'd add an extra star for Andrew if there was an option

We had an excellent experience dealing with Andrew de Ferrars, who helped us with our house purchase. Thoroughly professional, meticulous, and prompt in communication, Andrew kept on top of various things going on with the property, and stood resolute when the vendor's solicitors when they were trying to brush off some important information.
If it was not for Andrew we wouldn't be able to complete the purchase in time. I'd never go for an online Conveyancing firm after this experience. You get what you pay for, and when purchasing a property, it can make a massive difference.

Support with moving home

I have moved home twice with support from Tinkin Springall solicitors and on both occasions I have received an excellent service. Their knowledge, attention to detail and professioanlisum are first rate and I would highly recommend their service if you are looking to sell/buy a property.

Fantastic support through a lengthy and problematic sale

I recently used Andrew to sell my house, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received. Despite the process taking six months due to numerous issues caused by my buyers, the team remained professional, understanding, and incredibly patient throughout.

They provided clear and straightforward advice at every stage, making a stressful situation much more manageable. I was particularly impressed with their prompt responses to my questions and the way they kept me informed despite the ongoing challenges.

I truly appreciate their dedication and perseverance in seeing the sale through to completion. I highly recommend Andrew and Tinklin Springall to anyone looking for reliable and supportive legal assistance with property sales.

The only negative would be the waiting times when phoning.

We truly appreciate Andrew's help throughout this process. Purchasing this property has been a smooth and quick experience, and he did an amazing job in reducing our stress and anxiety over the past eight weeks. 😊🙏

A huge thank you for his efforts in making this deal happen—we are beyond excited to collect the keys this afternoon! 🎉😆

Wishing Andrew all the best, and we look forward to receiving the related documents from HM Land Registry soon.

Excellent service from Emilia at Tinklin Springall

A good friend of mine used TS to handle a house purchase and recommended I engage the to look after my recent property purchase in south-west London (completed January 2025).
Emilia Deefholts was my solicitor and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Emilia is highly knowledgable and efficient and during the entire period submitted detailed reports and clear guidance and always in a timely manner. Emilia is both the consummate professional and highly personable and her strong communication skills are a great help during what can occasionally feel an overwhelming process. I'm very grateful for the work done and would happily work with Emilia and TS again.

Sophie Steppel handled our sale and purchase and was absolutely brilliant - thoroughly professional, an excellent communicator and showed meticulous attention to details. Our purchase proved unexpectedly difficult due to the behaviour of other parties further up the chain, but she gracefully and decisively handled every challenge that arose and was a great advocate for us - we felt very lucky to have her on our side. We recommend her wholeheartedly and would be more than happy to work with her again.

Thank you Rachel

We used Andrew de Ferrars for our first house purchase. He was very thorough and professional. Andrew is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond, because of him the whole process went very smoothly. We have recommended to family and friends and will use again if we need conveyancing help in the future!

I contacted TS after using them in 2014 for a previous house move. Paul Miller was fantastic then, but as he was no longer with TS I was allocated Naomi Clarke and what an utter joy Naomi has been. My case wasn't particularly straightforward but Naomi took it all in her stride, was responsive and knowledgeable but most of all I felt like I was dealing with someone who really cared! I don't write reviews but the service and attention to detail that Naomi provided was absolutely amazing and I hope TS know what a superstar they have within the company. I have just exchanged on a sale and purchase and can honestly say it was money well spent. Thank you Naomi you have made myself and my daughter so very happy.

A representative from Tinklin Springall responded to this review on 17 December, 2021:

Thank you Lisa and I will pass on your very kind comments to Superstar Naomi!
