Excellent Service Received from Thomson & Bancks

Sarah Ingles from Thomson & Bancks provided an excellent service with the updating/re-writing of our Wills. Nothing too much trouble; was very easy to talk to and extremely knowledgeable. Advised where necessary. We also completed our POAs and again the service was excellent. Highly recommend Sarah and the other solicitors in this company. Excellent all round.

Excellent property conveyance

I have used Thomson and Bancks several times recently for selling and transferring family property. They have impressed me with their strong levels of communication, attention to detail and relative speed in concluding things.

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.

I purchased a property through Thomson & Bancks with the help of one of there solicitors, Sylvia. All of them were very attentive to all of my queries and concerns and they went out of their way to help answer all of my questions. Additionally as someone who is disabled they made extra effects to always take my needs in to account. I would not recommend them more :)
