Updating of Wills

Kamran was knowledgeable and personable at our initial consultation, taking time to explain any points on which we requested clarification. The subsequent drafts of our Wills were accompanied by a clear and helpful set of notes, which set out reasons for the inclusion of various clauses. Overall a very positive experience.

Purchase of a flat (Leasehold)

I have had many dealings with TW over the past 9 months. One person who stands out to me is Laura Masters. Towards the end of my dealings with TW, Laura was brilliant. She communicated with me and explained everything. She went out of her way to help me over the line and gave me the impression that the "cared". If you choose TW to be your solicitors, ask for Laura - she was brilliant.

Excellent and friendly service

I worked with Julian during a redundancy settlement and he explained everything fantastically, summarising complicated legal documentation in an easy to digest manner. He was very quick to respond to any emails and I felt as though I could rely on him without issue. We managed to get everything sorted in a very timely manner and I would definitely use his services again! Thanks!

5-stars for Steph Sculley, who was very helpful once again

We've worked with Stephanie Sculley at Thackray Williams for our past few home purchases and sales. Each time, she's been consistently professional throughout, helping us navigate some sticky issues with the other parties involved. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust!

Melanie and Danielle looked after my recent sale and purchase and as with most transactions there are always a few challenging parts, but they were patient with all my requests and dealt with them in a timely fashion. They make a good double act! Thank you both for all your help with our move.

Excellent service (Conveyancing) from first contact, through to completion.
Melanie and Danielle were professional, efficient and proactive in progressing the case, pursuing those acting for other parties, responding swiftly to any queries, and communicating continuously & helpfully throughout.
I’m really glad that I selected Thackray Williams to act on my behalf – my expectations were not only met but exceeded. I’d be happy to choose them again in the future and will definitely be recommending them to others as opportunity arises.

Very thorough

Claire Joseph is an exceptionally thorough solicitor which is much appreciated. She uncovered a serious flaw in the title to a flat I was proposing to purchase and which the vendors were trying to push us into ignoring. The second property was more straightforward.

Absolutely thrilled with the service we received from Thackery and Williams Solicitors! We approached them for assistance with a small legal document, and Julian was simply fantastic. His professionalism and dedication were evident from the start. Julian went above and beyond to support us, especially given the time-sensitive nature of our situation. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and truly cared about our needs. Thanks to his efforts, everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. I highly recommend Thackery and Williams for anyone in need of legal support! Five stars all the way!

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!
