Excellent Experience

5

Our experience of using Thornton Jones solicitors was very positive! Claire & Robyn were both very professional and efficient and helped us through the difficult process of moving house. Robyn was fantastic with her communication and liaising with other solicitors on the day to ensure our completion day went ahead as planned. We would definitely use Thornton Jones again and would highly recommend them to others. Thanks again for all of your hard work- Jake & Cara

Amazing support and response time.

Thornton jones as a company have been fantastic conveyancers, they greatly helped the stressful and tedious process of buying a house. When needed they helped to move things along quickly and when that wasn't possible they kept a very clear channel of communication between myself and the vendor. Robyn played a key part in this an it's clear she is very organised and a great communicator. Claire led the process well, she was easy to trust from the beginning to the end and proved her skills and knowledge multiple times. The human element from both lawyers was perhaps one of the biggest highlights, I was able to talk in layman's terms about law and my responsibilities and was able to call them for easy reassurance, which is incredibly valuable during such a stressful time. Well done and thank you both.

Claire was excellent from day one and remained so throughout. She is kind, friendly and approachable and always kept us fully updated.

She was quick to offer advice and legal expertise and was absolutely tenacious, particularly towards the end when I was pushing for a completion date!

As a first time buyer, the entire process was slightly terrifying. Claire made it less so, and if/when I calm down enough to move in the future, I would definitely instruct her again.

First time buyer

As a first time buyer I expected this process to be stressful. What a sigh of relief when Claire Ward, Emily Pinchbeck and Robyn Grimbley started work on my case. The whole transaction was effortless, quick and fully explained. (Loved the app as this helped a lot with keeping track of where it was all up to.

A big thank you to Claire and Robyn who dealt with a house sale on behalf of myself and a ex partner.
They had a tedious of working between us and also on top of that a very slow and lacking conveyance solicitor of the buyers who made it almost impossible to be patient with.
All throughout the process we were both kept up to date and the girls made nothing less than all their efforts to move the sale along smoothly even with the buyers solicitor being useless at best.
They also made things clear to me in email or on the phone when there were things that didnโ€™t make much sense (solicitor jargon) I couldnโ€™t be any happier with all the work put in by Claire and Robyn.
If you need a conveyance solicitor Thornton Jones is the one to use and they will be my first call the next time Iโ€™m in need of a solicitor!
Thank you so much Claire ward and Robyn Grimbley, I wish you both all the best in the future and thank you for all your hard work!!

Great knowledge and really useful app- it made first time buying a lot more easy to understand. Downfall was chopping and changing with who was looking after our case, holiday and maternity leave is unavoidable but it was slightly frustrating being passed to another person on a Friday to then he passed to another person on the Wednesday due to more annual leave; some better diary management and organisation would be the only recommendation. Everyone has been lovely and approachable though, so thankful
