Excellent professional service

Amanda and her team were excellent in their handling of our sale and purchase, and were extremely helpful when the situation became stressful due to issues further up the chain. Everything felt very smoothly handled and either Amanda or on occasion Ginny would always get back to us very quickly whenever we got in touch. They made the process of selling and buying much easier, and our experience with them was light years away from our first experience of buying a home when we used a different firm. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Thomson & Bancks, and Amanda in particular, and would definitely use them in future should we ever have to move again.

Exceptional Service

Geoffrey Ellis managed my case exceptionally well. Geoffrey took the time to read all the documentation I sent him in advance of our first meeting. During our first meeting he walked me through the procedure, relevant documentation and the law as it pertained to my case. Everything was explained to me in simple, easy to understand language. Incredibly thorough and professional. An excellent firm that I would recommend highly.

My experience of T&B was far from pleasant. 5 days before Christmas, I received a frivolous and vexatious pre-action claim letter from a Geoffrey Ellis, representing another of their solicitors, Guy Curry. In his letter, Mr. Ellis falsely claimed we had defamed Mr. Curry and demanded compensation. I twice wrote to Mr. Ellis asking him to explain what we had said about his client/ colleague that was in anyway inaccurate or unsupportable. His replies failed to provide any explanation of this, and he then went silent. Mr. Ellis’s failure to answer my simple question was, in my view, contrary to pre-action protocol guidance provided by the courts which solicitors are expected to follow. My subsequent complaint to Mr. Curry and Mr. Ellis’s seniors concerning, in my view, their rather grubby conduct was met with denials. I hope by publishing this review that T&B might be encouraged to put in place the necessary safeguards to prevent their staff from operating with such impunity.
