Highly recommended conveyancing service

5

I have had the pleasure of having Natalie and Jess handle the conveyancing for two purchases. I can't recommend them highly enough - professional, dedicated and great to deal with - they turned around my recent home buying in under 10 weeks from first enquiry to completion and move-in. When the previous purchase was getting into difficulties from the seller's end of the chain, they fought so my behalf to try and sort things out it was amazing to see. I want to thank both Natalie and Jess for their fantastic service

Exceptional Service During Both Our Sale and Purchase

5

After a bit of a nightmare with a previous sale falling through and a few failed attempts at buying, Jessica and Natalie were absolute lifesavers. They were both brilliant from start to finish—always kept us in the loop, explained everything clearly, and were super quick to respond to any questions.

They helped get our sale over the line, and on the day of exchange and completion, they went above and beyond. The buyer’s solicitors delayed the funds until the very last minute, but Jessica and Natalie stayed on top of everything and made sure it all still went through.

When it came to our purchase, they were just as amazing. They chased things up without being asked, kept the pressure on where it was needed, and made the whole process so much less stressful. We honestly couldn’t believe how quickly everything moved from offer to completion—it all ran so smoothly thanks to them.

We’re so grateful for everything they did. Can’t recommend them enough!

Another first class experience using Thornton Jones

5

This is the second time we've used Thornton Jones in relation to moving house. We had such a great experience last time it was a no-brainer to go with them again. We requested the same team as last time Jess Taylor and Natalie Byers-Nolan and they delivered yet again. House moving is stressful enough without having Solicitor's who don't play their part in ensuring things run smoothly. This firm go above and beyond to look after you.

Excellent service

No hidden costs, 1 total expense given before any work began and fast responses have made Thornton Jones one of the best solicitors to deal with, they were always proactive reaching out to the seller's solicitors during my over 6 month house purchase

I have used this excellent solicitor firm for three purchases and a sale, and have had an excellent experience every time.

I would like to thank Jess and Natalie from Thornton Jones Solicitors at Garforth. They dealt with the purchase of my mums new home. They did this very professionally, quickly and kept myself up to date all the way. They were easy to contact and always returned calls or email enquiries. My mum is 81 and the experience made it easier for her to manage with less stress. I would recommend Thornton Jones to others, the service was excellent. Thank you Jess and Natalie.
