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.

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.

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 had used Thornton Jones for the first time to purchase some land adjacent to where I live and Stuart Knox provided a great service. I have now used them again to sell my brother's house and Alison and Rachele have also provide an excellent service. The sale went through with no problems and they gave great advice. Costs were very reasonable too. I can recommend Thornton Jones and will not hesitate to use them again.
