I’ve never dealt with Thorntons Solicitors but was recommended them and thought we would give them a try for our house move.
Historically I’ve always found solicitors hard work by being difficult to get in contact with and generally having no sense of urgency when required.
Right from the outset I was impressed with how organised and thorough Alison was clearly outlining the process and what needed to be done.
Not only did she explain the process in a clear and concise way which I find a lot of solicitors don’t she was very efficient. If we had any queries she was quick to respond.
The Thorntons solicitors app I also found to be useful as it clearly shows you at a glance a timeline of how things are progressing to the point of completion.
Alison was always very prompt responding to emails and keeping us informed of everything even if it was an update to say I’m still chasing things which again made a difference.
She gave us the impression we were her only client which is a skill in itself as I’m pretty confident she will have had a high workload herself.
If you want a highly effective solicitors who keep you informed every step of the way then look no further is my advice.

Me and my partner had a great experience with Alison and Rachele at Thornton Jones Solicitors. They were both friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable. As first-time buyers we were very nervous and overwhelmed with the house-buying process, but felt we were in good hands with them both and trusted their advice completely. They kept us updated at each stage and understood our situation, as it felt quite challenging at times. We appreciate all the hard work Alison and Rachele have done to help us move into our new home. Email/telephone correspondence was quick and efficient and we were able to move into our new home within three months. We felt the fees were reasonable and we would definitely recommend Thornton Jones for anyone who is looking to buy a property.

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 ☺️

I cannot thank Thornton Jones enough for all their help with my house purchase! They helped me wherever they could and answered all of my questions to make sure I fully understood everything. A special thanks to Alison Jewell who dealt mostly with my case and was always very kind and friendly!
Thanks again, I would definitely recommend Thornton Jones.

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.

Sam and the team at the Garforth office have done an amazing job of handling the conveyancing for a sale earlier in the year and more recently a purchase.
We only needed to visit the office once (and that was due to a requirement of our mortgage lender) - everything else was done via email, post and phone.
Regular updates via email and able to track via an app too. All questions answered and very friendly service from everyone at Thornton Jones.
Possibly not the cheapest but you definitely get what you pay for.
Would highly recommend.

Great knowledge and really useful app- it made first time buying a lot more easy to understand. Downfall was chopping and changing with who was looking after our case, holiday and maternity leave is unavoidable but it was slightly frustrating being passed to another person on a Friday to then he passed to another person on the Wednesday due to more annual leave; some better diary management and organisation would be the only recommendation. Everyone has been lovely and approachable though, so thankful
