Absolutely amazing

We have completed on our sale & purchase within the last week and cannot speak highly enough of Thomson and Bancks - in particular Chantal Butters?? This is the second move Chantal has completed for us. Considering the pressure and demand on the housing market at the moment, Chantal was absolutely amazing?? She communicated with us throughout which filled us with great confidence and she flew us through despite some obstacles the other end! Would 100% go to Chantal for future moves!

Avoid at all costs!

We have been thoroughly appalled by the incompetence, attitude, work-ethic, rudeness and lack of professionalism shown by Chantal Butters.
Quite simply, we are stunned that someone can be this poor at their job and this rude when challenged.
No idea what she does and thankfully we managed to make some progress when she was on leave and covered by colleagues who were actually competent.
Chantal seemed to spend her time writing defensive emails about her complete lack of ability, diligence and communication skills. She is error-strewn through lack of attention to detail and simple effort. A lazy, less-than- ‘solicitor’ who should be avoided at all costs.

Thank you Chantel Butters for your excellent and through service

Thomson & Bancks did a fantastic job handling the conveyancing for my recent property purchase. As it was an older property and I was buying it following a divorce, things were a little more complicated than normal. However they managed to sort everything it for a very reasonable fixed price and Chantel responded to my emails and phone calls extremely quickly. Excellent work and great service!

Reassuring and Proactive

We have used Thomson & Bancks several times for land transactions. This time it was for moving house, handling the conveyancing for selling our house of 28 years and buying a house in the South West of England.

Right from the outset Jasvir was professional and proactive. She is very experienced - and her experience and knowledge really helped as we were in a long chain of buyers. As we edged closer to exchange of contracts and had to field a number of issues, Jasvir pushed things along and kept the process going reaching a successful conclusion in the end. We were impressed by Jasvir’s attitude which was positive and proactive throughout, and have recommended her to another member of our family who is in the process of buying and selling too. All in all, it was a pleasant and positive experience working with Jasvir and Thomson & Bancks.

I used Tania Hall for the transfer of my property and she was absolutely fantastic. She was extremely helpful and always prompt with her responses. She also went the extra mile to ensure that a rather difficult situation went through as smoothly as possible. One of the best solicitors I have ever come across! I highly recommend her! You will be in very safe hands!

We have been using Thompson bank’s services for many years now and we are always amazed at how efficient and competent the staff are in relation to other companies we’ve had dealings with.
I can’t recommend them enough.
Sylvia Gillham and her team have been amazing getting us to where we need to be regarding the sale of our property. I’ve had to drop into reception on many occasions and I’m always greeted with a smile and complete competence from the staff on reception. An all round magnificent team effort. Well done to all of you for making life just that little bit less stressful. Keep up the amazing work. We will be back soon !
