I found working with Trethowans was a very stress free experience. The staff with whom I communicated were always very pleasant and extremely efficient and helpful. At one point I had an interview via my computer as I live in South Africa where communications are not always reliable. Working with your staff members at such a distance was easy and trouble free. I would recommend Trethowans very highly.

Tabytha and charlotte were extremely professional and dedicate in supporting me. They genuinely cared and I was impressed by how they throughly handled my complex case ensuring that my case was a success. When hope was lost they went to the extra mile to get me a result and I am grateful to them.

Tabytha and Britney were very professional, compassionate and went the extra mile to support me during a very difficult and stressful family issue(my daughter passport). They genuinely cared about getting me justice so they did explore all avenues in making sure the case was a successful.
I am very grateful to them and I highly recommend lawyer Tabytha and Britney

The use of AI

My meeting with the young girl was fine but I didn’t like the fact that AI is now used by the company. I could find out the information in 2 minutes with chat GPT I’m not paying a solicitor £250 plus for them to use AI

We couldn’t recommend Annalee at Trethowans highly enough.

As first-time buyers, we were understandably nervous about the whole house-buying process, but from start to exchange of contracts, Annalee was absolutely amazing. She guided us through every step and made what can be an incredibly stressful process feel so much more manageable.

We managed to exchange contracts in under three months, which was no small feat given our very specific and rigid timescales due to being in rented accommodation. Annalee worked incredibly hard to navigate these dates and coordinate with the sellers’ solicitors, keeping everything moving and ensuring everyone was aligned. Her communication was fantastic throughout, and we always felt like our purchase was in safe hands.

Even when Annalee was away for a couple of days, she made sure we had seamless cover from her colleague Katy, who was equally as responsive and professional.

We genuinely can’t thank Annalee enough for all her hard work and for guiding us through such a big milestone. We’re so grateful for everything she has done and would absolutely recommend Annalee and Trethowans.

It’s also great to hear that Katy was able to provide seamless support when needed. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to them both, and we wish you all the very best in your new home.

Richard & The Team @ Trethowans

I cannot recommend Richard and the service highly enough. I was dealing with an extremely private, personal and sensitive matter, and throughout the entire process I was treated with complete discretion, dignity and respect. Everything was handled professionally and sensitively, which made a very difficult situation that little bit easier. I am incredibly grateful for the care and understanding I received.
