Philip Thompson

Solicitor - Partner

SRA ID: 129497

I am a solicitor specialising in residential property and am based in the firm’s Prestwich office. I qualified as a solicitor in 1984 and have been a partner with Butcher & Barlow since 2010, when the firm merged with my previous firm, Howard Maitland. Having had many years of experience working in family law, I can also advise on Deeds of Trust and issues which arise from the joint ownership of property. I understand that moving house can be stressful as well as exciting, and speed is of the essence. Accordingly, I embrace the assistance that IT can provide and try to make sure that the conveyancing process works smoothly and efficiently for my clients. Having worked in the Prestwich and Bury areas for over 20 years I have built up close working relationships with estate agents, mortgage advisers and other solicitors. Being able to communicate openly and honestly in a conveyancing transaction helps with the smooth running of the transaction, and the managing of expectations throughout the chain.

House Conveyancing

5

Phillip Thompson acted on my behalf, and the process was trouble free - especially considering the negative effects of the Covid-19 on businesses. The house purchase was completed in good time, and i am now in my new property. Butcher & Barlow have acted on my behalf on most of my house moves over the years, and have always provided an excellent service. Would strongly recommend.

Sadly i did not utilise Butcher & Barlow under particularly favorable circumstances. I've had two very difficult and ultimately unsuccessful conveyancing experiences while with them.

I am happy to say however, that while things did not go as planned, Butcher and Barlow conducted themselves professionally, ethically and with patience. The difficult circumstances I found myself in did give them the opportunity to demonstrate that they're honest, patient, stick to their word, and have empathy when it is required. Philip Thompson in particular should be commended for the way he handled interactions with a disagreeable behaviour from a third party, and subsequently in handling my own frustrations in reaction to this. He helped me to understand what my options were and provided support and sympathy in a professional manner.

I'll absolutely return to Butcher and Barlow to hopefully have a more successful sale and purchasing experience in the near future.

Have used Butcher & Barlow/Philip Thompson twice to move now (both buying & selling) and both times have had an excellent service. Great communication, and willing to ask extra questions when required.
Will use again/recommend in future
