Excellent service, delighted with the personal contact and efficiency

Excellent advice, very proactive and a very smooth sale thanks to our Solicitor, Andrew Ringham. From start to finish we were kept informed, the process was very speedy and efficient which was excellent as our buyers had a target date in mind from the beginning which thanks to Andrew and team we were able to meet. We had a couple of tricky questions from the buyer's solicitors and we received excellent advice and guidance. Having bought and sold 4 properties over the years, this was by far the best and most efficient service and the best communication we have encountered to date and we would highly recommend Thackray Williams and Andrew Ringham in particular.

Fantastic service

I recently completed on the sale of my flat in conjunction with extending the lease at the same time. The sale was due to complete in a very short timeframe and my chosen solicitor was Laila Gutin. The process was very challenging but Laila was fantastic. She answered all my questions promptly and efficiently and guided my through the process. I cannot recommend her highly enough thank you Laila.

Throughout this process, it was completely reassuring to know that Charlene was only a phone call way from providing advice and support in what manifested to be an alien world for me.
Her professional manner and understanding during this sensitive and difficult time brought me peace of mind, knowing that matters were in her safe hands.
Charlene saw this whole process through from start to finish with wisdom and knowledge, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.
Many thanks Charlene, and all good wishes to you for the future.
Kind regards

Thackary Williams are costly but you get what you pay for which is professionism and courtesy. Stuart Ruff and his team were consistently on point with their advice and actions. I would recommend them to anyone involved in imbittered divorces with unreasonable parties.

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!

Alisha Maidment handled our lease extension.

Despite coming onto the case mid transaction, she quickly got acquainted with the details of the case. Once she joined, I felt the transaction moved quicker and smoother.

She used effective, clear and concise communications skills to explain the details of our lease which put us in the best position to progress with our purchase.

She used great people skills to manage delays caused by the other party in a way that kept the transaction progressing.

I can’t commend her enough on her professionalism, knowledge and approachable character and would recommend to others.
