    The Wills Probate department at Thatcher and Hallam were excellent and very helpful with all enquiries i made. There were no questions too big or small that they weren't able to resolve promptly. The overall process was quickly and efficiently completed. I would recommend thatcher and Hallam solicitors wills/probates department.

      From start to finish with exceptional service and support, James Weller at Thatcher and Hallam worked with professionalism and care, with clear and constant communication through a long and complicated case which was ultimately successful with a good outcome. I was fully supported throughout and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Many thanks to James and Annette

      Great attention to detail

      I was recommended T&H by friends who had used them a year earlier. Everyone was very professional and polite. Katherine was helpful and would explain anything when I was unsure. She also ensured that everything was correct and even went so far as to update the wording on the land registry for me, without me needing to request it. Thank you to Kiren and Helen who were friendly and responsive.

      Excellent conveyancing experience

      Hayley Wakefield and her team provided an excellent conveyancing service during the process of selling our house and purchasing our new home, and following, that the sale of my father's house. Hayley provided expert advice and was always proactive in chasing enquiries and answering any questions. We always felt that she and her team were working in our very best interests. I would have no hesitation in recommending to others, and would choose Thatcher and Hallam for any future legal work.

      I cannot fault our experience with Thatcher and Hallam. We have both sold and purchased our property with them and Hailey and Tietia have been amazing throughout the conveyancing. Unfortunately there were a few issues along the way because of our buyer's solicitor, but Hailey was always responsive and reassuring to our emails, which was greatly needed at a very stressful time

      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
