Thornton Jones Solicitors Ltd

Excellent service from both Pauline and Ellie. Efficient as possible considering the circumstances. Respond to enquiries immediately. Polite, considerate and extremely helpful. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you both.

A huge thank you to Pauline and Ellie. As always, the service has been excellent from start to finish. They are always professional, efficient, and keep everything moving smoothly, but also very approachable and easy to deal with, which makes a big difference.

Communication is always clear and timely, and I’m kept updated at every stage, which I really appreciate. I’ve worked with Pauline on a number of matters now and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend – reliable, thorough, and a pleasure to deal with every time.

Thank you both again for all your help and support, it’s very much appreciated.... on to the next property.

Pauline and Ellie handled the sale of my shared ownership property and the purchase of our new home. Communication throughout was great and we were always kept updated with progress. They were both friendly, approachable and took the stress out of the process as much as possible whilst also meeting a tight deadline set by challenges within the chain, out of our control. We would highly recommend Thornton Jones / Ellie and Pauline. Thank you.

I recently worked with Pauline for both the sale of my home and the purchase of a new one, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service she provided. From start to finish, she was outstanding—professional, thorough, and consistently proactive.

Pauline communicated clearly at every stage, making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. She was always available to answer questions, no matter how small, and she explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. Her attention to detail and calm, reassuring manner gave me total confidence throughout the entire journey.

What really stood out was how efficient, organised, and genuinely caring she was. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was way ahead of schedule, and completed my sale in a record time! Her dedication made a huge difference.

I am incredibly grateful for all her hard work. I would highly recommend Pauline to anyone looking for a brilliant, reliable, and supportive conveyancer. Thank you Pauline!

Sadly my wonderful wife of 48 years passed away in March this year 2025. The bank required probate grant in order to close and transfer funds so I needed a very reliable solicitor but not in Huddersfield Town center where car drivers are unwelcome.

Browsing the Internet Thornton Jones solicitors in Ossett looked ideal; not far away and easy access with a cheap car park a minutes walk away from the office.

I contacted Thornton Jones and an appointment was quickly made with Yasmin Walker. The meeting was a tearful time for me but Yasmin was incredibly kind and supportive taking me slowly step by step explaining in great detail what was involved regarding probate grant; so many questions were asked and lots of form filling by Yasmin.

Yasmin is a very friendly and empathic lady who is so very professional, I couldn't have selected a better solicitor and I was so pleased to get probate grant under way. I expected a long wait but I was amazed by how rapid Yasmin was in obtaining the probate grant; Yasmin had sent me draft copy of the paperwork involved with costs involved which I fully accepted. Yasmin had explained these days probate grant application is now done electronically greatly speeding up the process but I was still amazed by how fast Yasmin worked.

I can't praise or recommend Yasmin high enough and being so impressed I got to know both Yasmin and her friendly receptionist Ellie a lot more because I wanted a new will drawing up.

I thought my will would be a simple one being totally on my own without dependants but it quickly became extremely complicated due to legalities involved including possible inheritance tax when I pass away; emails; phone calls from Ellie and more meetings with Yasmin followed as we went through the process. All during this Yasmin explained everything in simple terms for me to understand; costs to me were clearly explained including a special document I requested in order to prevent certain third parties contesting my will which increased the cost quite a bit; but well worth it for my peace of mind.

The cost involved for both probate grant; my will and the special document was expensive but I think possibly average for this kind of work by any solicitor; it was well worth it knowing everything was done so professionally and with urgency not dragging on.

Yesterday 27th June I again visited Yasmin to sign and have witnessed my will closing this chapter in my life. I asked Yasmin if Thornton Jones could sort out my obligations regarding the income tax office; Yasmin highly recommended a lady chartered accountant who I'm looking forward to meeting in the near future.

I've gone on at length because I'm absolutely delighted with both Yasmin and Ellie who looked after me so well during this darkest period of my life; thank you both so much and if ever I need a solicitor in future Thornton Jones will be my choice.

Kindest regards, Colin.
