Jessica was absolutely great from start to finish on the sale of my property. I was kept well informed every step of the way and never had to chase. Every query was answered quickly and information explained to me in simple terms! Would highly recommend Jessica.

Overcoming problems

The sale of our property was not the easiest, a misunderstanding of the type of property by the purchasers solicitors added to the delays, along with the lack of cooperation from the leaseholder. It took longer than expected but this was not the fault of Thatcher & Hallam, they did everything possible to get the sale completed.

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.

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.
