Transactions with Thackray Williams

I have used Thackray Williams 5 times now and can highly the firm. They are professional and kept me informed all the way through the transactions. Very easy to correspond with either over the phone or via email. My last sale was particularly protracted and I was kept in the loop throughout. I'd like to thank Stephanie Sculley and Claire Grice in this regard. I will be using the firm again .

Stress-free conveyancing

Danielle and Melanie were excellent throughout our recent conveyancing purchase, selling a leasehold property and buying a freehold. They were both extremely responsive, helpful and gave sound and clear advice, explaining the process very clearly without too much legalese, clearly communicating what was needed from us at each stage, and bundling documents together to make it easy for us to keep our own records. Their expertise in leasehold conveyancing was particularly welcome as it is a very complex landscape at the moment.

They were proactive in chasing both our buyer's solicitors and the management company of our flat to keep things moving - they dealt with a few curveballs along the way, particularly with the management company, calmly and proactively, and gave us plenty of reassurance.

I would highly recommend them for their efficiency, but also for their excellent communication throughout - they were both lovely to deal with and really took a lot of the stress out of the process for us.

Lease extension

It was a pleasure working with Jimmy Griffin and Thackray Williams. After my original solicitor went on sick leave Jimmy picked up the project and it felt seamless. He was efficient, organised and proactive. I would recommend him and I will work with him again on future property matters.

Sale of 26 Glanfield Road

We haven't moved house for 34yrs. You provide legal services for people moving house on a daily basis but it felt like you were doing it for the first time.
We would have expected some clear direction at the outset as to what we might need to provide during the course of the process. But we seemed to get requests in a piecemeal fashion. It felt that you didn't know they type of property you were dealing with which struck as odd. As a result late in the day we were still debating various indemnities; electrical certificates etc.
The one that really got us was the indemnity for the drop drive when the entire borough is full of them. there seemed no push back to buyers solicitors that what they were asking for was not needed. Never felt you were being that proactive or fighting our corner.
In our opinion you didn't demonstrate any valuable experience.

the list below doesn't include any negative words so can't really click on any I'm afraid

Absolutely thrilled with the service we received from Thackery and Williams Solicitors! We approached them for assistance with a small legal document, and Julian was simply fantastic. His professionalism and dedication were evident from the start. Julian went above and beyond to support us, especially given the time-sensitive nature of our situation. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and truly cared about our needs. Thanks to his efforts, everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. I highly recommend Thackery and Williams for anyone in need of legal support! Five stars all the way!

We had the pleasure of working with Marcus Beavis as our solicitor during the process of purchasing our home, and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated solicitor. From start to finish, Marcus was exceptional, guiding us through every step of the transaction with clarity and expertise. His attention to detail ensured that all the legal documents were thoroughly reviewed, and he left no stone unturned when it came to ensuring that the purchase was in our best interest.

What truly stood out was Marcus’s communication throughout the entire process. He was always quick to respond to my questions, providing thoughtful explanations and making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. His proactive approach kept everything moving forward efficiently, and I always felt confident that my case was in the best possible hands.

Marcus goes above and beyond, not only in his legal acumen but also in his personable and reassuring manner. Thanks to his dedication, I was able to navigate the complexities of purchasing a home with ease and peace of mind. I highly recommend Marcus and Thackray Williams to anyone seeking a reliable and top-notch solicitor for their property transactions. His expertise, professionalism, and client care are second to none!

Massive thanks to Lauren Osborne and Zoe Hitchcock also, who were fantastic in Marcus’s absence!

Thanks a bunch team at Thackray Williams, we will definitely be using you again!
