Divorce solicitor

Caroline was always there to answer my questions, explain things clearly and put my mind at ease whenever I felt overwhelmed.

Her knowledge, patience and professionalism were outstanding, and she handled everything with sensitivity and compassion while always keeping my best interests at heart.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Caroline to anyone going through a difficult divorce. She was absolutely brilliant from start to finish, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything she did for me.

Excellent Experience

Apologies for the delayed review—our case wrapped up last year, but this is well overdue.

We instructed Thackray Williams for a wall encroachment dispute, and our solicitor was David Hacker. Dealing with property boundary issues can be incredibly stressful, but David made the entire process seamless. He was so easy to work with and had a fantastic, pragmatic approach that immediately put us at ease while keeping things clear and straightforward.

Thanks to his expertise and steady guidance, the matter reached a completely satisfying resolution in our favour. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and would wholeheartedly recommend David and the team at Thackray Williams to anyone needing expert legal support.

Buying a home can be a very stressful experience, but the whole process was made so much easier thanks to this amazing team. They were always understanding, helpful, and professional, making every step of the legal process smooth and straightforward.

A special thank you to Marcus and Emily, who handled all of my legal work. They were always responsive, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which gave me confidence throughout the process.

I truly appreciate all of their hard work and dedication. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor. Thank you again for making what could have been a stressful experience so smooth and easy!

Excellence Service for House Purchase

Marcus and his team were incredibly helpful! We were first time buyers for a new build and it made the entire process so much less stressful knowing we could count on their expertise and guidance and never had to chase them once. Would very much recommend them. We also worked with Amy from the Family team who was also incredibly helpful. We will continue to go with Thackray Williams in the future.

This firm really stands out

I have used Thackray Williams in Sevenoaks twice recently, once for probate on my late Mothers estate and then for conveyancing. Both experiences have been smooth, professional and friendly.

Highly recommended this firm really stands out.

Safe and Attentive Hands!

Buying a house is stressful enough without having to worry about whether your legal team is up to the job. What really matters is having confidence that you’re in safe hands and can rely on prompt, professional support from start to finish. That’s exactly the experience I had with Thackray Williams. I can’t speak highly enough of the team, particularly Georgia Kowalyk, who handled my purchase with confidence, professionalism and efficiency throughout. She was excellent.
A note of thanks also to George Newton and Bonnie Tarling, both incredibly helpful in getting everything set up for success. Overall, my experience with Thackray Williams was first class. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone buying a new home. My thanks to you all.

I cannot recommend Zoe Hitchcock & Thackray Williams highly enough. From the moment I instructed them to handle the part exchange of my house and the purchase of our New build Redrow home, she was professional, efficient, and proactive throughout the entire process.

Although the firm was recommended by Redrow, Zoe, Lucy, Millie , Georgia and Abbie were professional, thorough and clearly acted in our best interests throughout. They handled the whole process with great attention to detail and were always prompt and clear in their communication. We felt well supported during the whole process and would happily recommend them.

The communication was excellent and Zoe & the team kept me updated at every stage, responded to queries promptly, and explained everything clearly, making a big move and potentially stressful experience feel straightforward and well managed!

Thank you so much for all your hard work and making this a positive experience. An exceptional service from start to finish! X

We had a very positive experience with Thackray Williams when purchasing our new-build property from Redrow. Although the firm was recommended by Redrow, Zoe and Abbie were professional, thorough and clearly acted in our best interests throughout.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We know that when a developer recommends a law firm, clients want to be 100% sure their independent interests are protected, so we're delighted that Zoe and Abbie gave you complete confidence and exceptional support throughout your Redrow purchase. Congratulations on your new-build home, and thank you for being open to recommending us.

I cannot recommend Zoe & Thackray Williams highly enough. From the moment I instructed them to handle the sale of my flat, she was professional, efficient, and proactive throughout the entire process.

When average timeframes of being moved are well into the 6 month mark, Zoe was proactive and with her experience made it possible to be done well within 3 months.

Her communication was excellent and Zoe & the team kept me updated at every stage, responded to queries promptly, and explained everything clearly, making a big move and potentially stressful experience feel straightforward and well managed!

Thank you so much for such a quick, positive experience. An exceptional service from start to finish! X

Thank you for the super review and recommendation. Completing a flat sale in under 3 months is a fantastic result, especially in today’s market. We're delighted too that Zoe's proactive approach ensured that everything got across the line so efficiently. Clear communication and taking the stress out of moving is top priority for us, so hearing how straightforward the process felt for you, means a lot.

Outstanding Service from Georgia and the Thackray Williams Team

A huge thank you to Georgia and the entire team at Thackray Williams for ensuring our part-exchange transaction progressed as smoothly as possible.
While the process initially appeared straightforward, it became significantly more complex when our new-build developer requested the removal of certain clauses relating to our existing property. This required considerable effort, expertise, and persistence from Georgia and her colleagues, who handled the matter professionally and efficiently throughout.
One aspect that particularly stood out was the team's exceptional continuity of service. Whenever a member of the team was on annual leave, there was always a colleague available to provide support and updates. As a result, we never experienced any delays or felt that progress had stalled, which gave us great confidence during what can often be a stressful process.
From the sale of our previous home to the acquisition of our beautiful new property, the entire journey was managed with professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail. In all honesty, I rarely leave reviews for solicitors, and my previous experiences have often fallen short of expectations, with communication and progress sometimes lagging behind. However, Thackray Williams completely changed that perception.
Georgia and her team were proactive, approachable, and highly knowledgeable, consistently keeping us informed and ensuring that matters moved forward smoothly.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Thackray Williams to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor to assist with the purchase, sale, or part-exchange of a property. Their service was truly first-class, and we are extremely grateful for their support throughout our home-moving journey.

Congratulations on your beautiful new home.

Outstanding Professional Service from Start to Finish

We had an excellent experience with Thackray Williams throughout our remortgage and Help to Buy equity loan redemption.

Our case involved several moving parts and tight deadlines, but from start to finish the team remained professional, responsive and reassuring. A special thank you to Liz, whose knowledge and calm approach gave us confidence throughout the process. She kept us updated, worked closely with all parties involved and made sure everything stayed on track.

We would also like to thank Robyn for his excellent support. He was always polite, efficient and quick to respond, keeping us informed and ensuring that every stage of the transaction progressed smoothly. His communication and attention to detail were greatly appreciated.

Thanks to the hard work of the team, our remortgage and Help to Buy redemption were completed successfully within the required timeframe. Even after completion, they continued to keep us informed and handled all post-completion matters professionally.

We are truly grateful for all the support we received and would not hesitate to recommend Thackray Williams to anyone looking for knowledgeable, reliable and professional conveyancing solicitors.

We were very happy with the service received from Thackray Williams. During the long process of buying a Redrow apartment which took over a year from start to finish, the team have been extremely helpful, understanding & kept us up-to-date & in the loop with the process. Big thank you to Marcus, Emily & Lucy for assisting us in this matter.

Exceptional - Great comms & got the job done

Struggle to believe some of these reviews?
I had an incredible experience with the sell of my property, extremely efficient, same day response to emails - if I ever requested a call, I was given a time.

Marcus and his team were very efficient and got the job done.

I agree with some of the comments that the money laundering checks were extremely intrusive and exhausting, but I do believe that's on the Government rather than TW themselves - so I believe would be the same with any good solicitor.

However bottom line - strongly recommend and will continue to use for incoming purchase.

Thank you for your feedback Ashley, and for the 5-Stars. We're delighted that you found Marcus and his team so efficient and responsive during your sale. We appreciate your perspective on the mandatory compliance checks too, it’s a tough part of the process, but essential for a secure transaction. We’re thrilled to have your continued support for your upcoming purchase.

House purchase and sale

The conveyancing itself was efficient, and we received a very comprehensive information pack.

However, there was often a reluctance to return calls. Also, the proof of funds was unnecessarily intrusive and extremely time consuming. I understand the legal requirements but it was very stressful to go through.

Thank you for your review Mr Forman. We’re pleased the move itself went smoothly, but we’re sorry for the stress caused by the proof of funds process and any difficulty you had reaching us by phone. We understand that compliance checks are time-consuming, and we appreciate your cooperation in ensuring everything was handled correctly. Your comments regarding communication have been noted and will be discussed internally.

Family Department - Very capable!

Used them for 4+ years (2020 - 2025) and it has been a very good experience overall for Divorce and Family matters especially with the onboarding of GG who was a very sharp young man armed with arsenal of Barristers that ingeniously destroy opponents in a very classy way - no arrogancy! His presentations of court documents are clean, logically arranged, write-ups, counsel and advocacies in the fields of Divorce and Child matters were second to none in my case. Very pleasant mannerism, professional, down-to-earth, great listening techniques, and will set expectations realistically. GG for me just really gets it! Customers' needs and outcomes are priority to him! While this firm is not cheap (rates like City firms) but their family service is the best that I have used. The management team are very approachable and they will assist you if there are any type of issues arranging calls with you etc. I highly recommend Thackray William Solicitors!
