Our experience of using Thornton Jones solicitors was very positive! Claire & Robyn were both very professional and efficient and helped us through the difficult process of moving house. Robyn was fantastic with her communication and liaising with other solicitors on the day to ensure our completion day went ahead as planned. We would definitely use Thornton Jones again and would highly recommend them to others. Thanks again for all of your hard work- Jake & Cara

Thornton jones as a company have been fantastic conveyancers, they greatly helped the stressful and tedious process of buying a house. When needed they helped to move things along quickly and when that wasn't possible they kept a very clear channel of communication between myself and the vendor. Robyn played a key part in this an it's clear she is very organised and a great communicator. Claire led the process well, she was easy to trust from the beginning to the end and proved her skills and knowledge multiple times. The human element from both lawyers was perhaps one of the biggest highlights, I was able to talk in layman's terms about law and my responsibilities and was able to call them for easy reassurance, which is incredibly valuable during such a stressful time. Well done and thank you both.

Claire was excellent from day one and remained so throughout. She is kind, friendly and approachable and always kept us fully updated.
She was quick to offer advice and legal expertise and was absolutely tenacious, particularly towards the end when I was pushing for a completion date!
As a first time buyer, the entire process was slightly terrifying. Claire made it less so, and if/when I calm down enough to move in the future, I would definitely instruct her again.

Myself and my partner used Thornton Jones when we recently bought our first home. We didn’t know anything about buying a property but the ladies at Thornton Jones in Garforth made everything super easy to understand. They worked very quickly, efficiently, explained everything in simple terms so we could understand. Any questions we had I was able to pick up the phone or send an email in confidence, knowing I’d have an answer back by the end of that day. The process never felt stressful or overwhelming.
I’ve recommended Thornton Jones to two of my friends who are also looking to buy their first home, once of which has contacted them already.
I will definitely use Thornton Jones in the future and will continue to recommend them to my family and friends.
Thank you to Jess Taylor, Molly Thornton and Francesca Thomas and the rest of the fab team ☺️

What an amazing bunch of people! Having had a bad experience with a previous solicitor, we couldn't have made a better decision than to appoint Thornton Jones to deal with our house sale and purchase. We were so looked after. Special thanks go to Jess Taylor who was always a step ahead of the game, but everyone we dealt with was always happy to help and really friendly and lovely. Thank you everyone!!

We are close to completing on the sale of a house and Clare and her team have been fabulous. Jess who has been our main point of contact has been worth her weight in gold. The solicitors acting for our buyer have not been too great but due to Jess constantly chasing and being one step ahead, she's made what should be a very stressful process relatively pain free. Thornton Jones also use a great app so you can see the stages throughout the process. These are 100% the solicitors you should use, you wont get any better.

Jessica and Natalie have been outstanding during our sale and purchase. They have been very thorough and proactive and I’m not confident my sale would have progressed without them going above and beyond. They respond to any queries promptly and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone buying or selling a property! They are also reasonably priced. Thanks so much from Gemma and Dan.

Initially dealt with Zanna and Holly. Zanna was initially rather abrupt and came across rude in some emails where we were asking questions as first time buyers. Holly didn’t seem to know the difference between £1,000 & £10,000 which was a bit concerning. Felt there was a lack of communication and we were initially given a timeline of 8-10 weeks which stretched to 15 weeks (initially instructed on 31/3 and completed 19/7). Wouldn’t recommend or use again.
A representative from Thornton Jones Solicitors responded to this review on 30 July, 2024:
Hi, Rhys. Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. Needless to say, we are very disappointed to have underdelivered for you on this occasion. This certainly isn’t up to our usual standards which you’ll see from our overwhelming number of five-star reviews and glowing feedback and recommendations. Your feedback is important to us as it helps us to become better and we will take your feedback on board. Thank you for choosing Thornton Jones Solicitors. We wish you all the best in your new home and really do appreciate your honest and timely feedback.
