Excellent Service

We have used Thomson & Bancks previously for a house sale and purchase and were really impressed with their efficiency. We therefore chose to use them again for our Wills. From our initial enquiry to our Wills being completed, the service was excellent. Kath Harris was easy to talk to and understood the outcome we were after. Highly recommend. We will definitely be using Thomson & Bancks again.

Excellent service

Handled the sale of my house in Evesham. Sylvia was amazing, kept us up to date at all times and was friendly and professional. Also chased the buyer’s solicitors with tenacity and showed patience when the sale dragged on. Thank you!

Expert navigation

I have been most impressed by Geoffrey Ellis at Thompson and Bancks who acted for me in an employment matter . He arrived prepared for meetings, but took time to listen carefully and checked my understanding regularly. I felt in control but well advised and therefore far less concerned and anxious than I thought I would have been. Excellent knowledge worn lightly and I would definitely recommend.
I also used T&B for conveyancing and found them excellent at that too.

Dilapidations resolution

We engaged T&B to present a dilapidations claim to departing tenants. The advice and guidance was given in a very professional and timely manner, with a satisfactory conclusion being achieved. This is a very specialised field and arguably a 'minefield' but we were guided well.

Settlement agreement

Had an employer's severance package / settlement agreement for review by a solicitor.
Made an appointment with Thomson and Bancks and was assigned to Geoffrey. Geoffrey went through the document and clearly explained each section of it. A very positive experience, under the circumstances.
