Alison acted on my behalf in the sale and purchase of property. From start to finish she was wonderful, communicating clearly, quickly and concisely when issues arose. Thank you so much.

Great service from Rachele and Alison on a difficult house sale. All communication was excellent and speedy. I will be using Thornton Jones Wakefield again and I highly recommend them for conveyancing.

House move

5

I’ve never dealt with Thorntons Solicitors but was recommended them and thought we would give them a try for our house move.

Historically I’ve always found solicitors hard work by being difficult to get in contact with and generally having no sense of urgency when required.

Right from the outset I was impressed with how organised and thorough Alison was clearly outlining the process and what needed to be done.

Not only did she explain the process in a clear and concise way which I find a lot of solicitors don’t she was very efficient. If we had any queries she was quick to respond.

The Thorntons solicitors app I also found to be useful as it clearly shows you at a glance a timeline of how things are progressing to the point of completion.

Alison was always very prompt responding to emails and keeping us informed of everything even if it was an update to say I’m still chasing things which again made a difference.

She gave us the impression we were her only client which is a skill in itself as I’m pretty confident she will have had a high workload herself.

If you want a highly effective solicitors who keep you informed every step of the way then look no further is my advice.

Excellent Conveyancing Team

Professional, warm and friendly from start to finish. Thank you Sharon and Rachele for all your hard work. Filling out all the documents (whilst on the phone) making it so easy, with Rachele explaining everything and answering all my questions. I was never made to feel I was a nuisance (when I had to contact you both) and that is so important.

Both Alison and Rachele made what was a complicated sale of my late fathers property much simpler by providing much needed help and guidance. Their communication was second to none and they made what could have been a very stressful process far easier for us. I have already recommended them to a friend and will continue to do so in the future.

We were assigned Alison and Rachele for the purchase of our new property that we completed on recently. We received a great service and the team were always happy to discuss updates with us over the phone. Alison was very personable and we felt that nothing was too much trouble.

Had a great experience moving house. Alison made everything so simple and easy, nothing was ever too much and always went above and beyond to ensure my partner and I were happy. If you're in need of a great solicitor then be sure to ask for Alison Jewel. Thanks so much for all your work.

Alison and Rachele dealt with sale of a property on my behalf. I have been delighted with the advice, help and service provided. I mainly corresponded via email and all queries that I had were answered promptly the same day. They had a lot to put up with from the buyers solicitor and dealt with it in a professional manner. All the staff that I met when I went into the Garforth office were also very polite and friendly, which always helps. Thank you Alison, Rachele and the rest of the team at Thornton Jones Solicitors.
