House sale and purchase of a new property

Carl Burnett and Hannah Jones handled the sale of our property and the purchase of our current home
Carl and Hannah were very professional from the outset
Firstly detailing the possible pitfalls that would or could happen during the whole sale/ purchase journey
Then as the dale progressed Hannah had to chase the sellers of our new house on countless times to get any feedback on the process at their end of the sale, keeping us updated on a weekly basis
Understanding from the outset the issues that crop up makes the time taken to completion bearable
A huge thank you to you both

Excellent conveyancing

Amy Constantine (Whitby branch) carried out the conveyancing for my sale & purchase. It was an absolute delight to go through this process with Amy. From the outset she was professional, speedy and friendly. She kept me up to date every step of the way and her replies were extremely fast. I really felt throughout the process that she had my back. I will definitely want to use Amy for conveyancing in the future. Highly recommended

Incompetent rude and a dam right rip off

This review is for a different branch.

After talking to a solicitor who assured me they were experienced in the field I needed I instructed a solicitor to go ahead with my case!
This was a standard document which needed to be drawn up and registered with the tax department this should have taken 3 weeks maximum!
However this was not the case!
The solicitor was totally incompetent and had no experience in the field required! And actually admitted to having to google information!
After 5 months and receiving a invoice for £900 alarms were definitely ringing! I requested and arranged a meeting with the manager! However when I turned up for the meeting the manager was not present, instead a mediator was present who took notes to pass onto the manager! And to this present day I have heard nothing, apart from the solicitor in question dealing with my case, and that was to inform me that the document could not be registered and I needed to pay the outstanding amount of £900 which was overdue and would be charged interest everyday! Had the solicitor been able to register the document there would be a further invoice for £400 a totall of £1300
It became apparent because I had raised my concerns the company just wanted my money and to get rid of me!
I was never going to win against the solicitors so I paid the £900 pounds for the document which still hadn’t been registered and I was told could not be registered by the solicitors and I had to register it myself!
I have since used another solicitor who have been excellent the document was registered by the solicitor and my first tax return completed within 2 weeks and only cost me £420 in totall!!
Please do not use Thorpe and co!!!

Uninterested and would say only want your payment

This review is for a different branch.

Jennifer Roberts Scarborough Office was uninterested with little or no empathy in what I and my husband had to say. Showed her paperwork but glanced and pushed it back across the desk. Was in a maximum of 11.5 minutes for £150 and came out none the wiser unless we wanted to pay more, would have got more reaction talking to the brick wall. Used Thorpe and Co before but because of this instance would sadly put go somewhere else. We came out feeling mugged although the receptionist was lovely.

Philip Sainsbury was first class

This review is for a different branch.

Used Philip Sainsbury at the Filey office in July 2019 for a sale and purchase. He was first class, prompt replies and thorough work on leases. It was the other parties solicitors who were not of his standard and who made him shine. He was a pleasure to deal with.

Pedantic

This review is for a different branch.

This Grubby little outfit handled my mother’s estate,she was 91 years old and not of sound mind,repeating herself every 5 minutes,they adopted a long established will failing to notice that circumstances regarding two minor age recipients residency status had altered and there was no way children could receive their inheritence,in fact they went out of their way to show how my mother’s wishes could not be fulfilled,the stress and strain caused to our family by their incompetence is yet to be established and the monies they apparently intend to hold,this is an open matter and my opinion only,but at present they seem he’ll bent to protect their interests only putting themselves first,forbidding their Filey office from communicating in writing with little interest in finding an amicable solution,draw your own conclusion

They are worthless

This review is for a different branch.

Dont go to thorpe and co solicitors in Scarborough, because they are useless and not helpful and rely on the police to sort matters out. My partner was requesting some paper work to be given to him that his solicitor said he was entitled to last year. But now it has been denied and have been lied to and spoken to inappropriately. They are suppose to be helpful and patient well they are ain't and they terminate call every min if they don't like the what they are hearing or if you wanna speak to the manager.
