Sale of property via modern method of auction

Given the restrictive timescale involved in selling our late parents' house through the Modern Method of Auction (56 days), our solicitor, Lois, was extremely efficient and professional in ensuring everything was completed on time. Her communication and attention to detail helped the process run smoothly despite the tight deadline. Thank you, Lois, for all your hard work and support.

Thank you for the fantastic review, Paula! Handling a probate sale under the tight 56-day Modern Method of Auction deadline is no small feat, and we are delighted that Lois's efficiency and excellent communication ensured a smooth completion. Knowing you felt thoroughly supported throughout this process means the world to our team. Thank you for your kind words, Lois will be thrilled!

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.

Professional and Thorough Service

I recently used this firm to prepare my will and was extremely pleased with the service I received. The solicitors were professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly, making what could have been a complicated process straightforward and stress-free. They listened carefully to my wishes, provided helpful advice, and ensured that every detail was handled thoroughly and efficiently. Communication was excellent throughout, and I felt confident that my affairs were in safe hands. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable and professional legal services, particularly for will writing and estate planning.

It was a pleasure working Thorton Solicitors, namely Claire and Maria. They involved me all through the selling and buying transaction. They consulted and offered me time to Process information. They were available for all my queries and communicated effectively. Speaking to both Claire and Maria felt very natural and a sense balanced authority.

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.

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

Great conveyancing experience

Zanna was nothing but professional, helpful and proactive with her work. Everytime there was an opportunity for her to get ahead, she did it so as not to slow our transaction down. Conveyancing solicitors have a bad reputation but we couldn't disagree more from our experience. Would recommend her to anyone and would definitely use her again.

I can’t recommend Anna highly enough. She has been absolutely outstanding throughout the sale of my house from start to finish. Her professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail gave me complete confidence every step of the way. Anna was always responsive, kept me updated throughout the process, and was proactive in resolving any issues quickly and efficiently. What can often be a stressful experience was made so much easier thanks to her expertise, dedication, and genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, reliable, and truly goes above and beyond for their clients, Anna is the one to choose.

Could not recommend Thornton Jones and especially Zanna and Molly more for conveyancing. We never waited more than a few hours for a reply to our emails and they were always professional and kind, even when we were probably asking too many questions! Our purchase almost came to a standstill and in the last week before completion they worked tirelessly to get the purchase over the line which we were so thankful for. Would recommend them to anyone and will definitely use them for any future house purchases.
