We had a very good experience with Thackray Williams. The service was exceptional and they were always available via phone or email whenever we needed them and kept us updated which took away a lot of stress when moving. We were on a very tight deadline and they managed to arrange everything for us quickly. We would recommend Thackray Williams.

Clear Communication and Positive Outcome.
I wanted to take a moment to thank Zoe Hitchcock, for her hard work and dedication in completing the purchase of my new home. Her professionalism and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
I truly appreciate her guidance and support throughout this journey. It was reassuring to know that everything was in capable hands.
Thanks once again for all your efforts.
Best regards,

Very professional and personable service.
Michaela Lewer at the Sevenoaks Office dealt with the drafting of a new Will for me at the end of 2023.
The service was very professional and sound advice was offered; I would thoroughly recommend these Solicitors who I have used on and off for 20 years.

As a first time buyer they made the process easy to understand and alot less daunting that what I was expecting. Quick turnaround on any email queries and the completion process went through without any issues with the developer and lender on time

Steer clear of this law firm. My experience with Stuart Ruff started off promisingly, only for us to overshoot the initial estimate by 3x, with charges accrued for every minuscule communication effort. Despite requesting an end to this, it continued.
Numerous typographical errors were evident in their documents, including incorrect agreement dates and participant names.
Complicating matters further, I started receiving bills from Kimberley Deane and Jennifer Scoates, whom I hadn't been previously introduced to. The bills were unclear and their accompanying letters quickly turned aggressive, despite a prior agreement of a one-time payment. Their comments, such as threats of court proceedings if payment wasn't received within 14 days, were unsettling. Here is an example: “Unless payment is received within 14 days from the date of this letter, the debt will be passed to our Debt Collection Department who may issue court proceedings for recovery of the sum due without further notice.”.
I compiled and made the payments, but these unexpected invoices continued to arrive. The firm's departments seemed disconnected with poor internal communication and an aggressive attitude towards paying clients.
Their current rating doesn't reflect my experience. I would strongly advise anyone considering their services to think twice. My hope is that their rating will change to prevent others from enduring similar frustrations.

I engaged Adrian Whichcord and his team, in the Sevenoaks office, for some conveyancing work on the sale of a property. I received excellent and professional service throughout the process, and they managed to meet a very demanding timescale of offer through to exchange in 25 working days. Communication throughout the process was excellent and they were always quick to respond to any queries. I've done a lot of property transactions over the years and the service Thackray's provided is the best I have ever received. Their professional fees are also competitive. I would not hesitate to use them again, or reccomend them to others.

Marcus and Lauren were God sent. They dealt with our case in the most professional way. They were always available to talk and kept us updated at all times.
The process was stressful but they were always there to reassure me. Thank you soooo much Lauren, you are honestly amazing and we appreciate all your help.

I was put in touch with Andrew Raby at Thackray Williams via the ARMA legal helpline. He was quick to communicate and we booked in a video call to discuss my problem. He was an attentive listener and offered relevant advice on the situation. I recommend anyone to the firm!

We selected Thackray Williams to be our conveyancing solicitors for a couple of our home purchases, and I've had a especially positive experience with ✴︎Stephanie Sculley✴︎ in their Bromley office who's been very professional and meticulous throughout a rather complicated purchase. She managed to help us overcome a lot of barriers that came up along the way, and this purchase wouldn't have gone as smoothly without all the expertise she provided along the way.👍
