Outstanding service

Despite challenging and sensitive circumstances I have had a positive and pleasant experience with my solicitor Christine and Freya, both acted professionally, gave solid and backed up advice with a heap load of reassurance and empathy. I was fully supported though a child custody battle, non molestation order order and final divorce. I’d highly recommend these wonderful people who serve real people and do an amazing job, it’s been an emotional time but their commitment and to support has been 1st class . A huge thank you

Transfer of equity

Dealing with Megan was very stress free hepling me with the paper work at the beginning of the transfer she was very patient, helpful and understanding. Alao Brooklynn was very much the same also, a very nice experiance dealing with them both and i would highly reccomend them.

After wasting six and a half months of 2022 trying to purchase a property through Purple bricks & Premier Property Solicitors our transaction fell through. We were gutted. We turned our attentions to another property being sold by Manners and Harrison Stockton. We wish we had been able to work with them for the initial property. Between Manners and Harrison and their recommended Tilly Bailey & Irvine Solicitors they managed to complete the transaction in just 10 weeks! They completed purchase before Premier Property Solicitors had even resolved our complaint against them. We were beyond delighted and pleasantly stunned to hear it done so quickly. A massive thanks to Danielle, Ruth, Chloe/Gemma, Jasmine at the respective Manners and Harrison/Tilly Bailey & Irvine branches. Will definitely recommend to others.

The staff were all welcoming and helpful. When buying a house, they made my stressful move become easy. They made me feel comfortable as new people were moving into my house so soon I had a deadline which they helped me meet. I would highly recommend to all my family and friends. Would always use them in future.

We recently used TBI solicitors for the purchase of our new build, the whole process has been a breeze with them, they were always happy to help us in regards to chasing information from our developers when we needed it. On the day of completion they kept us in the loop of things and ensured we moved into our home in good time. Thanks to Charlotte Draper & Eve Wilderspin!
