Excellent service

Lauren helped us set up our wills and power of attorneys.

It is not a pleasant thing to think about death. However, Lauren made the whole process straightforward and explained the key points we needed to consider. Friendly efficient service, very good communucation, and value for money.

Will and Estate of late husband

I made an appointment to see a Solicitor called Aimee Young regarding the above. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional and kept me well informed throughout the whole process. This was a difficult time for the family and she put me at ease. Would highly recommend Aimee and Thornton's.

Fantastic service

Duncan provided clear and accurate advice when redrafting my will. He made the whole process simple and stress free even answering a left field question I posed. With a lot at stake the advice given resulted in a will I am happy reflects my wishes.

I wanted to appoint a power of attorney after I became ill and I was hospitalised. The process was handled extremely quick with all the information required by both myself and my son actioned and relevant paperwork signed by all parties within one week. Not knowing when I will get home, this gave me a great sense of relief in the knowledge that all my personal matters could be dealt with in the event of my health deteriorating.

From my first telephone conversation to receiving my documents, it was a seamless and efficient experience. Everyone i spoke to was so friendly, helpful and everything was explained to me thoroughly. My documents were ready extremely quickly. I also liked the fact that pricing was explained and set out in my first correspondence with the Firm.

Highly recommend.

Review: Rona Allan – Excellent Service from Thorntons Property, Perth

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rona Allan, property paralegal at Thorntons in Perth, and I can’t speak highly enough of the service she provided. From start to finish, Rona made the whole process of buying/selling [or you can specify which] a property straightforward and as stress-free as possible.

Her attention to detail was exceptional—nothing was overlooked, and she kept me fully informed at every stage. Rona’s expertise and in-depth knowledge really stood out. She was always clear, professional, and incredibly efficient, which gave me great confidence throughout the process.

What could have been a daunting experience felt smooth and manageable thanks to Rona’s calm and proactive approach. I genuinely appreciated her responsiveness and the way she handled everything with care and precision.

If you’re looking for someone who combines professionalism with a friendly, approachable manner, I would highly recommend Rona Allan at Thorntons Property Perth. She made what is often a stressful time feel easy and well-managed from beginning to end.

I'm a little late in posting this review, I thought I had done so at the time, however, as they say better late than never!!

I received a 1st class service from Chris Phillips, John MacKenzie & Maria Akunna, when I reached out to them earlier this year. I can honestly say I felt that they went above and beyond in helping me and I would 100% recommend their services.
