Review of individual’s work

It was a joy to work with Sibel Vurdu of Thackray Williams. Over a period of three years she assisted with the regularisation of tenancies and in particular the management of a complicated and difficult property sale. I have no hesitation in recommending Sibel

Amazing All Round!

We had a very difficult time trying to exchange contracts for our house due to our buyer’s solicitors being unprofessional and unresponsive. We came close to losing our new build plot and the whole chain falling through; it was an extremely stressful time for our family. However, Marcus went completely above and beyond for us. He delivered first class service by always being available to talk, having specialist knowledge which he could efficiently communicate to whoever needed it, and taking the time to chase and sort the entire situation for us. I can't recommend Marcus enough!!

Updating Will

My husband recently needed to update his Will and Leah Barrett dealt with this in an efficient manner. My husband has dementia and a mental capacity assessment test along with a report was required before we could proceed with updating the Will. I am grateful for Scott Mitchell and Leah in their “belt and braces” approach. Thank you

Excellent service

I recently employed the services of Megan O'Hara and was most impressed by Megan's helpfulness, proactivity and utterly professional service (and also initially Lydia Button's help). I'd therefore thoroughly recommend Megan and Thackray Williams.

Thackray Williams provided a thorough and efficient service at a reasonable cost. They communicated well, and their knowledge and experience helped the executors through the extended process (and also saved us external costs).

The Estate of the late Derek Gray

We have been very impressed with Mitchell, who dealt with our late father’s complicated estate with professionalism and efficiency. We were always kept informed in a clear manner, promptly and at every stage. All our concerns and queries were answered in a clear and understandable manner. Nothing has been too much trouble. Mitchell has been personable, understanding & courteous throughout. We recommend him highly. Thank you, Mitchell.

Too expensive

Having been told by my solicitor that there had been no queries from the Probate Office so there would be nothing further to pay, I emailed her around 5 weeks later to thank her for her help and to see if she could recommend a colleague for conveyancing. Imagine my surprise when she replied with a further invoice attached for items such as photocopying and 'arranging for collection of probate document', which was just a phone call, asking me to pick it up, which could have been done by a receptionist! If you use Thackray Williams, I would advise that you state that you would prefer such calls to be made by admin staff, so that you do not pay solicitor's rates for this kind of thing. I am only glad that she was not there when I collected it, or the fee involved for me driving to their offices to pick it up might have been even higher. I will not be using Thackray Williams for my conveyancing after all as this has tarnished my experience, which had previously been good.

Excellent service

Stephanie helped us over the last year and a half with our relocation project, including the sale of my flat and my mum's house, and the purchase of our new house in Hampshire. We had a bumpy ride with the purchase and also the sale of mum's house, with various parties withdrawing along the way but Stephanie was efficient, helpful, calm and responsive throughout. We felt we were taken care of and that she did our best for us at every stage. We are now happily installed in our new home. Thank you Stephanie for all your help.

Galbraith Gorman dealt with my divorce for 2 years, not a week went by with updated information, I could not thank him enough in what was a very hard work divorce by my ex wife, even through covid19 he still kept upto speed and knocking the obstacles down, always one step ahead definitely worth the money.

Used Thackery Williams for our house purchase. Kevin and Laura headed up our purchase and we’re very friendly and knowledgeable.

We were encouraged to go with another solicitor by the bank which honestly just waited our time and delayed the completion. We’re so glad we paid the extra money and went with Thackery Williams. Would certainly use them again.

Will

Buying a flat in London is difficult enough in 2021. With changing regulations, cladding certificates, COVID considerations etc. Unfortunately, the process can be made far more difficult by a lawyer who: you can't get a hold of; doesn't appear to know any specifics about your case even seconds after being reminded of them; misspells important sections of the contract you've been waiting months for.

On a positive note: buyer and seller alike can find common ground in their pitiful experience with your lawyer, the resulting conversations of mutual exasperation can provide a bonding experience to mellow tense negotiations. Your wider family and friends, like mine, may also add the term 'Kevin Gauntlett' to their vocabulary, and begin using it as a verb in its own right in colloquial conversation: e.g. "sorry for Kevin Gauntlett-ing you like that".

Thackray Williams used to be an exemplary solicitors, indeed it may still be, but if you find yourself picking up /this/ gauntlet, prepare yourself to be billed for a long journey of frustration.
