The only problem was the length of time the conveyance took and that was outside the control of TBI.

Third time lucky in completing the sale. Almost all the contact was via email with a conveyancing secretary or a conveyancing paralegal. Prompt responses.

TBI were very helpful and the move went well, the only downside was some vague moving dates offered by a solicitor down the chain who hadn’t spoken to his client. This led to some frustration in the rest of the chain but TBI did what they could.

Helen has been incredible from the very beginning. She is very professional, hard working, efficient and diligent in her role. Helen is very approachable and has been such a pleasure to deal with Mum’s estate. She always replies to emails in a timely manner and she is always very respectful and courteous.

Efficient enough (conveyancing) service though at times it felt disaggregated in delivery and unclear in the process. Completed within 6 weeks which was good as it was a straightforward sale and no chain on either side to consider. Had a disagreement at the end before completion which was upsetting and very much took the shine off the end point which, sadly, means I will not continue to use this company, but as there are other recommended companies out there for my remaining conveyancing needs, I'm not worrying about it. Can't comment on any other aspect of other services offered. Handy location (Barnard Castle) for appointments or signing documents. Reception staff friendly.
