Highly recommended

Thomas Dunton handled the Probate for my mother. They had been recommended to me. We were randomly selected by DWP and HMRC lost our casework which meant the processing of the estate took nearly two years. Throughout this time Catherine was excellent. Any questions and emails were answered within hours. Highly recommend.

We recently sold and purchased a property with Thomas Dunton - Temi and Sally were excellent from start to finish. We were kept up to date, they were quick, friendly, efficient and thorough. We also purchased a property last year through them - Because of Temi's diligent work, he noticed issues with the lease which meant we decided to go for a different properly and we're so glad we did.
Thanks again Temi and Sally for all your hard work!
