Sale of residential property

Thackray Williams undertook the conveyancing for both the sale of our previous home and purchase of new home. There were some minor complications with land transfer agreements that were managed expertly and resolved satisfactorily.

I can recommend Jimmy Griffin wholeheartedly.
From my first interaction with him, I knew I was in good hands.
Jimmy took care of all the communication required, he always kept me updated and answered any questions I had in fantastic detail and very fast.
I was able to leave everything in his capable hands and the process was very smooth and worry-free for me.
Thank you very much Jimmy!

I recently worked with Ana on a complicated property case, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service that I received. Since the beginning, Ana was professional, understanding, and quick to provide a clear plan of action at every step of the way. Her legal knowledge was greatly appreciated, and she took the time to explain every detail, ensuring that I always understood what was happening. Throughout the process, Ana was always available to answer my questions and kept me updated regularly. I am grateful to Ana and her team for their hard work and dedication. Thanks to her, I was able to achieve what I wanted. I highly recommend Ana and her team at Thackray Williams to anyone who is looking for a professional, caring, and highly skilled solicitor. She made a stressful situation much easier to handle.

Friendly and knowledgeable, efficient and professional staff, good coverage when our lead contact was off, happy overall with their conveyancing service provided, we completed slightly ahead of schedule, in challenging circumstances given the behaviour of the seller and their solicitors. Would recommend.

Poor service. This firm had previously prepared our wills (my husband and I) when they were in Beckenham. We asked to book an appointment to go back to review the wills and they booked us in at their Bromley office. 1 week later I received a call from them saying they were unable to keep the appointment as they were “at capacity”. Even though we were existing clients we have had to follow up with a new firm of solicitors.

We had the pleasure of working with Marcus Beavis as our solicitor during the process of purchasing our home, and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated solicitor. From start to finish, Marcus was exceptional, guiding us through every step of the transaction with clarity and expertise. His attention to detail ensured that all the legal documents were thoroughly reviewed, and he left no stone unturned when it came to ensuring that the purchase was in our best interest.

What truly stood out was Marcus’s communication throughout the entire process. He was always quick to respond to my questions, providing thoughtful explanations and making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. His proactive approach kept everything moving forward efficiently, and I always felt confident that my case was in the best possible hands.

Marcus goes above and beyond, not only in his legal acumen but also in his personable and reassuring manner. Thanks to his dedication, I was able to navigate the complexities of purchasing a home with ease and peace of mind. I highly recommend Marcus and Thackray Williams to anyone seeking a reliable and top-notch solicitor for their property transactions. His expertise, professionalism, and client care are second to none!

Massive thanks to Lauren Osborne and Zoe Hitchcock also, who were fantastic in Marcus’s absence!

Thanks a bunch team at Thackray Williams, we will definitely be using you again!
