Very helpful through the whole process

As a first time buyer, with a sale that involved planning issue, Hayley was brilliant, and really made the process a lot easier. She was always happy to answer my questions, and dealt with the planning issue highlighted in my survey very effectively. I was very happy with the service/advice at every stage of the process.

I used Thatcher & Hallam for my house purchase and sale. I highly recommend Laura Kellaway who dealt with the conveyancing. She always dealt with my queries promptly and in a very professional manner. She kept me updated with the progress of my purchase and sale which reassured me that the work was being done efficiently. I would definitely use Laura at Thatcher & Hallam again.

Claire Dagger of T&H Solicitors conducted the conveyancing on a property purchase. She was unbelievably swift, incredibly professional and went above and beyond to address the inevitable curve-balls along the way; all at a reasonable price. I recommend her highly.

Exceptional Service from Hayley Wakefield at Thatcher & Hallam Hayley was absolutely brilliant throughout what turned out to be a very long and stressful house sale and purchase. The process took over a year and nearly collapsed several times due to buyers dropping out and poor solicitors further down the chain, but Hayley was consistently excellent. She is professional, approachable, and explains everything in plain English, which made things so much easier to understand. Hayley always responded quickly and was at the end of the phone whenever I needed clarification or reassurance. Her calm, proactive approach kept everything moving when it could have fallen apart. I would highly recommend Hayley Wakefield to anyone seeking reliable and professional legal support for property transactions.

A representative from Thatcher + Hallam LLP responded to this review

Dear Louise, Thank you so much for your review for Hayley Wakefield. It is great to see that she was supportive and reassuring throughout your house sale and purchase. We hope you settle in well to your new home and we will pass your review on to Hayley. Kind regards, Thatcher + Hallam

We chose Thatcher and Hallam to represent our house sale, and you really get what you pay for with them. Hayley provided a 5-star service from start to finish. She progressed each stage promptly and always responded to our emails and queries within 24 hours. She was friendly, helpful, patient and knowledgeable, and kept us updated throughout. Whenever she was away for any reason she let us know in advance and gave us an alternative contact. We cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Hayley and T&H!

Thank you Lizzie for your kind review. We are so pleased to see that Hayley did such a great job for you. We will be sure to pass on your feedback and than you for coming to us for your conveyancing. Kind regards Thatcher + Hallam

Hayley Wakefield at Thatcher and Hallam was recommended to be by family following their positive experience with her. I used Hayley for the purchase of my new house and she was fantastic from start to finish. Great communication, proactive, professional but also approachable. I have had experience with a number of other conveyancers before moving to the area, and none of them come close to the service from Hayley and the Thatcher and Hallam team.
