Absolutely fantastic!

Recently used Thornton Jones solicitors to both sell my house and purchase a new build. We were looked after by Jessica Taylor and Natalie Byers Nolan and I seriously can't recommend them enough. Really quick and efficient service, always available via phone or email, they have been fantastic!
Highly recommend and definitely be using them again in the future.

Conveyancing (Auction property)

5

I have never written feedback before, but simply had to for the team at Thornton Jones. Excellence should be rewarded and good customer service appreciated.
Jess and Natalie made the purchase of my home (which was a complex auction property) effortless. Communication was always timely and regular with updates on the process throughout. I threw up a challenging completion date that tied in with my apartment lease running out and they smashed it. Very pleased and would definitely recommend!

Perfectly professional from start to finish. Quickly responded to any questions I had, and fully explained whatever I didn't understand. It's the first time in 50 years that I have moved and I was very scared, but Jess and Nat made everything seem so easy that I would happily recommend them if you want a 5 star moving experience.

We have recently used Thornton Jones for a sale and Jess Taylor and Natalie Byers-Nolan were fantastic! From start to finish the whole process has been smooth, with great communication and both our sale and purchase completed without issue. We would highly recommend Thornton Jones, and, in particular, Jess and Natalie!

Recently used Thornton Jones Solicitors with Jessica Taylor and Natalie Byers Nolan assisting ourselves to both sell our house and purchase a new build.
I would highly recommend Jess and Natalie, they have been fantastic!
Incredibly quick and efficient, available for calls and emails with any questions, they couldn't have done more.
I have already passed their details to friends and family.
Thank you again guys!

Great experience with Thornton Jones Solicitors. They kept us up to date on all changes of our case and answered our questions promptly and clearly. The app was also super helpful to keep up to date on the process. Jess & Natalie were really helpful throughout the process. The overall experience was very positive and I would definitely recommend Thornton Jones! Thanks again to the team.

Myself and my partner used Thornton Jones when we recently bought our first home. We didn’t know anything about buying a property but the ladies at Thornton Jones in Garforth made everything super easy to understand. They worked very quickly, efficiently, explained everything in simple terms so we could understand. Any questions we had I was able to pick up the phone or send an email in confidence, knowing I’d have an answer back by the end of that day. The process never felt stressful or overwhelming.
I’ve recommended Thornton Jones to two of my friends who are also looking to buy their first home, once of which has contacted them already.
I will definitely use Thornton Jones in the future and will continue to recommend them to my family and friends.

Thank you to Jess Taylor, Molly Thornton and Francesca Thomas and the rest of the fab team ☺️

What an amazing bunch of people! Having had a bad experience with a previous solicitor, we couldn't have made a better decision than to appoint Thornton Jones to deal with our house sale and purchase. We were so looked after. Special thanks go to Jess Taylor who was always a step ahead of the game, but everyone we dealt with was always happy to help and really friendly and lovely. Thank you everyone!!

We are close to completing on the sale of a house and Clare and her team have been fabulous. Jess who has been our main point of contact has been worth her weight in gold. The solicitors acting for our buyer have not been too great but due to Jess constantly chasing and being one step ahead, she's made what should be a very stressful process relatively pain free. Thornton Jones also use a great app so you can see the stages throughout the process. These are 100% the solicitors you should use, you wont get any better.

Jessica and Natalie have been outstanding during our sale and purchase. They have been very thorough and proactive and I’m not confident my sale would have progressed without them going above and beyond. They respond to any queries promptly and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone buying or selling a property! They are also reasonably priced. Thanks so much from Gemma and Dan.
