Thackray Williams provided a thorough and efficient service at a reasonable cost. They communicated well, and their knowledge and experience helped the executors through the extended process (and also saved us external costs).

We have been very impressed with Mitchell, who dealt with our late father’s complicated estate with professionalism and efficiency. We were always kept informed in a clear manner, promptly and at every stage. All our concerns and queries were answered in a clear and understandable manner. Nothing has been too much trouble. Mitchell has been personable, understanding & courteous throughout. We recommend him highly. Thank you, Mitchell.

I sincerely hope this finds anyone reading it well.
I wanted to share some exciting news here: I recently recovered back my lost Crypto funds that were stolen by impostor with the help of Cyber Asset Recovery, It all began on April 16th last year, when I received a text message on my Instagram from a stranger, offering a false investment opportunity with Bitcoin. Luckily, I was able to spot the impostor before it was too late – with the help of Cyber Asset Recovery. They were able to recover the money quickly and efficiently, and I’m genuinely so thankful for their expertise and assistance. If any of you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend Cyber Asset Recovery because they are the best and also very trustworthy Firm.

Their help was invaluable.
Best wishes,

Having been told by my solicitor that there had been no queries from the Probate Office so there would be nothing further to pay, I emailed her around 5 weeks later to thank her for her help and to see if she could recommend a colleague for conveyancing. Imagine my surprise when she replied with a further invoice attached for items such as photocopying and 'arranging for collection of probate document', which was just a phone call, asking me to pick it up, which could have been done by a receptionist! If you use Thackray Williams, I would advise that you state that you would prefer such calls to be made by admin staff, so that you do not pay solicitor's rates for this kind of thing. I am only glad that she was not there when I collected it, or the fee involved for me driving to their offices to pick it up might have been even higher. I will not be using Thackray Williams for my conveyancing after all as this has tarnished my experience, which had previously been good.

Stephanie helped us over the last year and a half with our relocation project, including the sale of my flat and my mum's house, and the purchase of our new house in Hampshire. We had a bumpy ride with the purchase and also the sale of mum's house, with various parties withdrawing along the way but Stephanie was efficient, helpful, calm and responsive throughout. We felt we were taken care of and that she did our best for us at every stage. We are now happily installed in our new home. Thank you Stephanie for all your help.

Its a pleasure to leave a review for Stephanie Sculley who acted for me recently on the sale of one of my flats. I found her very approachable, very professional and very patient as I did send quite a few email queries and the sale was delayed twice which Stephanie dealt with in a very capable manner. She acted for me a couple of years previously on a potential purchase and unfortunately that collapsed at the last minute. She earnestly endeavoured to get it to completion but the buyer imposed an impossible condition the day prior to completion so we had no alternative but to pull out. I can highly recommend Stephanie and will use her again on any future sales

Galbraith Gorman dealt with my divorce for 2 years, not a week went by with updated information, I could not thank him enough in what was a very hard work divorce by my ex wife, even through covid19 he still kept upto speed and knocking the obstacles down, always one step ahead definitely worth the money.

Used Thackery Williams for our house purchase. Kevin and Laura headed up our purchase and we’re very friendly and knowledgeable.
We were encouraged to go with another solicitor by the bank which honestly just waited our time and delayed the completion. We’re so glad we paid the extra money and went with Thackery Williams. Would certainly use them again.

Buying a flat in London is difficult enough in 2021. With changing regulations, cladding certificates, COVID considerations etc. Unfortunately, the process can be made far more difficult by a lawyer who: you can't get a hold of; doesn't appear to know any specifics about your case even seconds after being reminded of them; misspells important sections of the contract you've been waiting months for.
On a positive note: buyer and seller alike can find common ground in their pitiful experience with your lawyer, the resulting conversations of mutual exasperation can provide a bonding experience to mellow tense negotiations. Your wider family and friends, like mine, may also add the term 'Kevin Gauntlett' to their vocabulary, and begin using it as a verb in its own right in colloquial conversation: e.g. "sorry for Kevin Gauntlett-ing you like that".
Thackray Williams used to be an exemplary solicitors, indeed it may still be, but if you find yourself picking up /this/ gauntlet, prepare yourself to be billed for a long journey of frustration.

We selected Thackray Williams to be our conveyancing solicitors for a couple of our home purchases, and I've had a especially positive experience with ✴︎Stephanie Sculley✴︎ in their Bromley office who's been very professional and meticulous throughout a rather complicated purchase. She managed to help us overcome a lot of barriers that came up along the way, and this purchase wouldn't have gone as smoothly without all the expertise she provided along the way.👍
