Making a Complex Process Feel Simple and Relaxed

Lois was extremely professional whilst also bringing such a friendly and personal touch throughout the entire process. She supported me from start to finish during the purchase of our first property through a business, which at times felt very difficult and overwhelming. Understanding the documents and knowing exactly what needed to be done was not easy, but Lois went above and beyond to explain every stage clearly and thoroughly. At times, contacting a solicitor can feel quite overwhelming, but Lois never once made me feel intimidated or uncomfortable. She was always approachable, patient, and happy to help, which made a huge difference throughout. She made the whole process feel calm, relaxed, and far less stressful than it could have been. She was always very easy to contact, incredibly helpful, and no question ever felt too difficult or too small to ask. I’m extremely pleased with the support and service she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and approachable solicitor.

Excellent Service!

I recently used this Thorton Jones’ Conveyancing services and had a really positive experience from start to finish. Zanna (& Holly at the start of the process) was professional, responsive, and made what can often be a stressful process feel much more manageable. They kept me updated throughout every stage of the transaction and were always happy to answer any questions clearly and promptly. What stood out most was Zanna’s efficiency and attention to detail. Everything was handled smoothly, deadlines were met, and I always felt confident that my case was in good hands. Communication was excellent, which made a huge difference during the process. I would definitely recommend Thornton Jones’ Conveyencing services to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable conveyancer. Zanna’s professionalism and commitment to great client service really set her apart.

Second time using Thornton Jones

This is the second time I have used Thornton Jones for conveyancing and both times they have been great. Emily was fabulous, Always the ball, and always let me know what was happening…. Their persistence and dedication to getting the job done to a high standard is the exact reason I came back a second time and won’t hesitate to do so next time I need conveyancing services.

We have been clients of Thornton Jones for a few years now. During that time, both Alison and Rachele have overseen and dealt with conveyancing of 3 properties for ourselves. The service we have received has been exemplary in every way. Also, we have used Thornton Jones for probate services, and received the same highly professional service. We can wholeheartedly recommend Thornton Jones knowing that they are completely dependable. Both Alison and Rachele have provided both an excellent and professional service at all times.

Anna Betheridge and Olivia Gee represented me for a sale and purchase. The buyer was unreasonable with their expectations on the speed if the sale. They were both absolutely amazing in handling a challenging buyer and their solicitor. They worked incredibly hard with an exchange and completion two days later. I appreciate this sounds ‘corny’, however they did provide a first class service and I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Rachele was always happy to answer any questions I had and was always thorough in explaining what things meant or what I needed to do. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Highly Recommend Jess

Jess was excellent from start to finish. We had a complicated situation with multiple properties, including one collapsing through no fault of ours or Jess’s, but she made the whole process feel straightforward. She was clear, reassuring and effective throughout, and when we eventually completed on our new home, everything felt seamless. I wouldn’t change a thing and I’d highly recommend Jess.

We used Thornton Jones for the conveyancing of our house sale (Alison Jewel and Rachele Marshall). We have previously used online solicitors and had two terrible experiences - never again! The whole process was absolutely spot on. Both Alison and Rachele were professional and did a great job. We were kept updated mostly via email and by the app so we knew at what stage the sale was at. I can highly recommend Thornton Jones and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. In fact I wouldn’t choose any other solicitors. First class service. Thank you.

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
