Will and house conveyancing

Both the renewal of our wills and simultaneous house conveyancing wäre conducted in an extremely efficient and Professional manner by Louise and Katherine. Our wills had lockend very tired and rather untidy. Louise sorted this out within a week. Although not yet completed Katherine has been a huge help in sorting out the sale and purchase of our house, always chasing and communicating.

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.

Will preparation.

I am very grateful for the advice and help from the Solicitor in preparing my Will. He came to my house which meant I was more relaxed than going to an office, He explained the various necessities when making a will and why it was important to have a will outlining my wishes both before and after my death.

I had the displeasure of dealing with Karen Stevenson today. She continually interrupted me and spoke over the top of me. When I asked her companies complaint procedure she became more abrasive and said she had no idea what it was. Poor service from a reputable firm.
