I have been in regular contact with Rhiannon Melrose, for the past 18 months or so, regarding a land transfer issue. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is not only very professional, but also super efficient and knowledgeable. Her diligence, in a number of issues, has saved me a lot of potential future problems, and I cannot thank her enough. I would not hesitate to recommend Rhiannon to anyone looking for conveyancing services. Thank you.

Very good divorce solicitor

Shamin provided a professional service and was available when I needed information.
Excellent knowledge and good advice. Sourced a very good barrister to support who was very reasonably priced and the outcome of the court proceedings resulted in my favour.
I would definitely recommend Shamin for divorce proceedings.

My experience with TBI was excellent starting from the first day of asking for a simple advice and what to do first court hearing to fallow two years and four months working with me made me survive and not to give up. So I recommend to anyone who is going through a divorce.
Thank you.

Poor service

The service provided by this company was shocking, i felt like they were more interested in taking your money than actually supporting me. Solicitor wrote me a letter for the family court which cost me around £300 in which i had to edit it all and re word as she cant have listened to a word i had said in the meeting.

After wasting six and a half months of 2022 trying to purchase a property through Purple bricks & Premier Property Solicitors our transaction fell through. We were gutted. We turned our attentions to another property being sold by Manners and Harrison Stockton. We wish we had been able to work with them for the initial property. Between Manners and Harrison and their recommended Tilly Bailey & Irvine Solicitors they managed to complete the transaction in just 10 weeks! They completed purchase before Premier Property Solicitors had even resolved our complaint against them. We were beyond delighted and pleasantly stunned to hear it done so quickly. A massive thanks to Danielle, Ruth, Chloe/Gemma, Jasmine at the respective Manners and Harrison/Tilly Bailey & Irvine branches. Will definitely recommend to others.
