Excellent property conveyance

I have used Thomson and Bancks several times recently for selling and transferring family property. They have impressed me with their strong levels of communication, attention to detail and relative speed in concluding things.

Exceptional Service

Geoffrey Ellis managed my case exceptionally well. Geoffrey took the time to read all the documentation I sent him in advance of our first meeting. During our first meeting he walked me through the procedure, relevant documentation and the law as it pertained to my case. Everything was explained to me in simple, easy to understand language. Incredibly thorough and professional. An excellent firm that I would recommend highly.

Sarah was a pleasure to work with. She explained everything in detail as this was so important to us to get right. Her patience and understanding was very much appreciated for at times we must have tested her with our confusion. Lovely lady and a big thank you to her.
