    Very positive experience with Thackray Williams for the conveyancing on our house purchase

    We had a very positive experience with Thackray Williams for the conveyancing on our house purchase. The team were professional, responsive and clear throughout the process, keeping us updated and explaining matters when needed. Buying a property can be stressful, particularly when timescales change or issues arise, but we always felt that our matter was being progressed and that we could get a response when we needed one. The team were thorough, approachable and helped get everything through to completion successfully. We were very pleased with the service provided and would happily recommend Thackray Williams to anyone looking for a reliable conveyancing solicitor.

    Selling my mother’s home we found Andrew & Claire at Thackray Williams professional, helpful and understanding. The whole process from offer to the buyers moving in was completed in 6 weeks 6 days. Despite a Land Registry issue arising from a previous firm of solicitors. It was nice to have trust in Thackray William.

    Thackray Williams did a wonderful job on the recent sale of my mother's house, and the subsequent purchase of her new home. They were polite, knowledgeable, responded promptly and kept the momentum going on the transactions. Huge thanks to Sarah Streeton and Manaal Razvi who acted on these matters.

    We had a very positive experience with Danielle and Melanie, who handled our case with professionalism, care and attention throughout. After previously having poor experiences with other solicitor firms, their personalised and high-quality service was a breath of fresh air. The purchase and sale case was complex and constantly evolving, but they remained responsive, knowledgeable and committed from start to finish. We always felt supported and well-advised and they ultimately got the job done. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and client-focused solicitors. We are very grateful and highly reccomend Danielle and Melanie.

    A representative from Thackray Williams LLP responded to this review

    Thank you for the wonderful feedback Sam and for your 5-Stars. We're so pleased that Danielle and Melanie could provide the professional, personalised service you clearly deserved after your previous experiences elsewhere. Complex cases require a lot of moving parts, and we’re glad their dedication helped navigate those challenges smoothly for you.

    I have just completed on the sale of my home, Stephanie Sculley and Claire Grice supported me during this process and I was very pleased with their support. My home sale was slightly more complicated than most as I had already moved out of the UK when we were in the final stages leading up to completion. Yet even being literally on the other side of the world Stephanie provided me at all times with clear communication, good market insight, and excellent coaching. Selling a house at the best of times is incredibly stressful, to work with Stephanie and her team meant I removed as much as the stress and drama out of the process which was possible. Thank you

Clear communication is vital, and all the more so, when working across different time zones. It's good to hear too, that Stephanie's coaching helped you reach a smooth completion. Best of luck with your new chapter.

    A huge thank you to Sarah and Hannah at Thackray Williams for their help with the sale of my mother's property. They were friendly and responsive and were consistently one step ahead of the buyer's solicitors. Their communication was great during the exchange and completion process, which made it all much less stressful. My mother hopes to buy a property soon and will definitely be using Thackray Williams!

      Myself and immediate neighbours entered into a sale of part of our gardens to a developer. We instructed Thackray Williams and a Partner, Amit Bhangham, was our point of contact. Amit was knowledgeable, always approachable, professional and ensured we were all kept informed as the deal progressed. I would not hesitate to recommend TW and, if commercial property related, Amit Bhangham. Thank you Amit....you got us there!

Keeping all parties informed and remaining approachable, and accessible throughout, especially in a multi-neighbour transaction, is super important.
