Client relations department

I have been working with the client relations team at Thornton Jones Solicitors since the department was established - and throughout that time they have provided a warm, personable service both to myself as a mortgage broker, but also our clients who have used their services, primarily residential property, but also will writing and estate planning as well. I can be confident that when I refer clients to them, that they will be dealt with in an efficient and professional manner, something which is particularly important when you are undertaking a property purchase, which can often prove stressful

from Thornton Jones Solicitors

Thank you, Luke! We value our partnership with you, and it's awesome to hear that our team delivers the professional and personable service you and your clients expect. Take care.

Probate house sale

Maria handled the sale of my late father’s home, and throughout the entire process she was professional, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. All queries were answered promptly, with confidence and reassurance, and emails and telephone calls were always returned quickly. During what was a very difficult and emotional time for our family, Maria made the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. If I had to summarise our experience, I would say that Maria is an outstanding, customer-focused professional who provides exceptional service and would highly recommend her.

We normally go to a larger solicitors for all our services but due to the other buyer being the executor we needed to find another solicitor. I did what I usually do and asked on Facebook for advice and Thornton Jones came up as a good local solicitor for house moves, so we connected with them. We had quite a complicated house move (well if felt complicated to me, but it might have been normal to them) with probate taking much longer than expected and lots of miscommunications with the executor also being the solicitor from the other firm. But Anna and Olivia dealt with them all in a calm, reassuring way. I would not hesitate to recommend them for house moves, their knowledge and expertise was incredible and reassuring. Making sure that every little detail was checked off before willing to proceed. I really hope not to move again, but I would certainly use again if I am crazy enough to attempt it! Thank you ladies for making such a stressful event as smooth as possible.

I used Thornton Jones Solicitors in Wakefield to help put my Mum`s affairs in order, Sarah and her colleague called out to see my Mum personally on two occasions to make sure everything was explained clearly, they were very patient as Mum is hard of hearing, they talked her through the documents to make sure her wishes were met. Mum was very satisfied with the work that was carried out and how Sarah and her colleague took the time to call to her home giving her that personal service. The final documents were created then signed and delivered out swiftly. I would definitely recommend Thornton Jones for legal advice as they were recommended to me by a friend. Regards Mr Brown

10/10 – I cannot recommend them highly enough!

We had a difficult house sale that should have been straightforward, but the total incompetence and unprofessionalism of the other side’s solicitors turned what should have been a simple process into an unbelievable shambles. Alison guided us through the debacle with exceptional knowledge, honesty, attention to detail and absolute professionalism. She ensured that we were fully compliant and ready to complete at all times, all while helping us maintain our sanity! Rachele kept us regularly updated and ensured that all our documentation was completed and returned promptly. The Dream Team? Absolutely! We cannot thank Alison and Rachele enough for their outstanding support throughout what was a needlessly stressful process.

I cannot explain how fantastic Anna was! She was professional throughout and always kept us up to date with everything that was happening. She made sure she had everything she needed before she continued onto the next step. She made the whole process very easy for us to understand. She was patient with us when we were asking her questions. I would definitely recommend her and the company to anyone who needed them. Thank you Anna! You made getting our dream home a reality!

Having previously used the firm several times, we were happy to return and found the service consistently reliable. The team was professional, thorough and responsive throughout the process, keeping us informed and dealing with enquiries as they arose. In particular, when we were faced with a tight deadline towards the end of the purchase, they acted quickly and efficiently to get everything completed in time.

Thank you, Craig, for choosing us again. We appreciate your continued trust and are glad our team could respond promptly and help meet the tight deadline to complete your purchase.

Highly recommend Thornton Jones solicitors conveyancing team. Alison and Rachele were incredible throughout the property purchasing process. For first time buyers they made the process really smooth, excellent service. Only negative comment would be that the app didn't provide updates, but like I said Alison and Rachele were always happy to take a call and quick to respond on email.

First‑class service from exceptionally professional and helpful staff. Jess and Natalie supported us throughout our leasehold purchase. The process became quite drawn out due to communication issues with our builder. Despite this, Jess and Natalie’s dedication and meticulous attention to detail were evident throughout and are a real credit to both themselves and the company.
