Having never sold a house before, and coming to selling in less than ideal circumstances, we were very apprehensive and anxious about the process. Our solicitor Jenna made us feel much more at ease, a... See more

First time home purchase
It was a great experience for the purchase of my first house. Ellen was very attentive, had great attention to detail and brilliant communication throughout. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering using Thorntons.
Experts in their Field
I was really please that I had chosen Thorntons to market and complete the conveyancing of my property. From my initial enquiry through to completion, I was provided with expert advice. I was kept informed and every interaction was carried out with professionalism.
I strongly recommend avoiding this…
I strongly recommend avoiding this solicitor. The service was absolutely terrible, and in my experience, they did not demonstrate a proper understanding of the matter. Their communication was also extremely poor, and I found their written English unacceptable for someone working as a professional solicitor.
I would strongly advise going elsewhere and finding a more competent solicitor who can properly represent you, communicate clearly, and provide the help and support you need.
Excellent and Efficient Service
Gillian Leckie at Thorntons Solicitors provided an excellent service throughout the process of selling a house in Scotland while I resided in England. Efficient and prompt, I would highly recommend.
Outstanding team
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances the team at Thorntons have had to support me for several months rather than several weeks as is the normal.
They have been proactive, they have kept me up to date, given me practical advise and supported any decision I have made.
In particular id like to thank mr Hamalton for going above and beyond over this different period for me
Very disappointed
Very disappointed. Initially the contact was positive.
A call back from a solicitor on the friday which resulted in the promise of an email being sent on Monday and a call back.
No email sent and no call back.
Its embarrassing as I prepped the other party to expect the email. Still no call back or response to an email asking for an update.
There is no reasonable excuse for this. I would not recommend them at this time.
Recent flat purchase guided by Thornton's LLP
We were lucky to have Laura Franceschi of Thorntons LLP Dundee guide us through the legal aspects of the purchase of our flat in Dundee. Laura has excellent inter-personal skills, communicates extremely effectively both verbally and via email, has good attention to detail, and responds quickly and completely to queries. All in all, she made the process very easy and worked hard to accommodate our timescales during a period when we had limited availability.
Working with Donna was a breeze
Working with Donna was a breeze. She was very proactive in all of her work, and extremely available and responsive should you have queries. Would fully recommend Thorntons and Donna for conveyancing.
Gillian Stewart was very professional…
