Thornton Jones Solicitors - Wakefield Reviews

10/10 – I cannot recommend them highly enough! We had a difficult house sale that should have been straightforward, but the total incompetence and unprofessionalism of the other side’s solicitors turned what should have been a simple process into an unbelievable shambles. Alison guided us through the debacle with exceptional knowledge, honesty, attention to detail and absolute professionalism. She ensured that we were fully compliant and ready to complete at all times, all while helping us maintain our sanity! Rachele kept us regularly updated and ensured that all our documentation was completed and returned promptly. The Dream Team? Absolutely! We cannot thank Alison and Rachele enough for their outstanding support throughout what was a needlessly stressful process.

First‑class service from exceptionally professional and helpful staff. Jess and Natalie supported us throughout our leasehold purchase. The process became quite drawn out due to communication issues with our builder. Despite this, Jess and Natalie’s dedication and meticulous attention to detail were evident throughout and are a real credit to both themselves and the company.

Jess and Natalie have been dealing with our conveyancing case for over 18 months and throughout that time, I have found them to be both proactive and sympathetic to our situation, which was appreciated. We used Thornton Jones for our previous house purchase and again this time, and while the situation (separation and tandem house moves) was incredibly tricky to tie together on this occasion, they somehow managed it, which we were incredibly grateful for. I would happily recommend this team to anyone who is looking for a solicitor to deal with their conveyancing needs. Thanks Jess and Natalie.

We normally go to a larger solicitors for all our services but due to the other buyer being the executor we needed to find another solicitor. I did what I usually do and asked on Facebook for advice and Thornton Jones came up as a good local solicitor for house moves, so we connected with them. We had quite a complicated house move (well if felt complicated to me, but it might have been normal to them) with probate taking much longer than expected and lots of miscommunications with the executor also being the solicitor from the other firm. But Anna and Olivia dealt with them all in a calm, reassuring way. I would not hesitate to recommend them for house moves, their knowledge and expertise was incredible and reassuring. Making sure that every little detail was checked off before willing to proceed. I really hope not to move again, but I would certainly use again if I am crazy enough to attempt it! Thank you ladies for making such a stressful event as smooth as possible.

"Stuart Knox and Geraldine Micallef provided fantastic guidance and support throughout our commercial property lease. They ensured our interests were fully protected and maintained clear, reassuring communication from start to finish. Geraldine kept the process moving smoothly, handled logistics and communication efficiently, and was always available to answer questions and chase things up when time was of the essence. Brilliant client service from a dedicated team—thank you both!"

I had used Thornton Jones for the first time to purchase some land adjacent to where I live and Stuart Knox provided a great service. I have now used them again to sell my brother's house and Alison and Rachele have also provide an excellent service. The sale went through with no problems and they gave great advice. Costs were very reasonable too. I can recommend Thornton Jones and will not hesitate to use them again.

Could not recommend Thornton Jones and especially Zanna and Molly more for conveyancing. We never waited more than a few hours for a reply to our emails and they were always professional and kind, even when we were probably asking too many questions! Our purchase almost came to a standstill and in the last week before completion they worked tirelessly to get the purchase over the line which we were so thankful for. Would recommend them to anyone and will definitely use them for any future house purchases.

I can’t recommend Anna highly enough. She has been absolutely outstanding throughout the sale of my house from start to finish. Her professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail gave me complete confidence every step of the way. It’s clear to see the commitment and passion she has for what she does. Anna was always responsive, kept me updated throughout the process, and was proactive in resolving any issues quickly and efficiently. What can often be a stressful experience was made so much easier thanks to her expertise, dedication, and genuine commitment to progressing the sale as quickly as possible. If you’re looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, reliable, and truly goes above and beyond for their clients, Anna is the one to choose. Thank you, Anna, for all your hard work and exceptional service—I couldn’t have asked for a better conveyancing solicitor.
