We chose Thomas Flavell & Sons as they were firmly established and local to us. From the start, we were put at ease in sorting out a new will, Philip listened well to our wishes and explained things very clearly. The new will was put together in quick time and again explained very clearly , prior to the signing. We would use the services of Thomas Flavel & Sons again and would recommend their sevices to others.

First class professionalism & knowledge when preparing our wills & powers of attorney - extremely efficient and with a personal attentive service. Thank you so much Philip Baldwin & Annette.
We were so impressed we’ve also instructed them on further commercial works - a refreshing change.

Lara was excellent and made everything run smoothly as soon as she became involved in this already progressed and somewhat tricky property sale. Her ability to step in and quickly get things on track was particularly impressive.
Her communication was clear and proactive throughout, and she was always a pleasure to deal with. We would highly recommend her services and look forward to working with her again.

We dealt with Kate Mahon regarding our wills and estate planning.
She was thoroughly professional yet friendly and approachable. We would absolutely recommend her to potential clients.
Understanding our circumstances she was able to finalise things really quickly which we appreciate.

We would highly recommend Thomas Flavell & Sons. They were efficient, professional, and always quick to get back to us whenever we had a question. The whole process felt straightforward and well handled from start to finish.
A special thank you to Elle, who was amazing throughout. She helped us so much with all the paperwork and made sure everything was sorted properly. We’re really grateful for all her support.

We would really recommend Thomas Flavell Solicitors. Our sale from start to finish was smooth and uncomplicated. Lara kept us informed at all times and impressed us with her efficiency and speed at pushing forward.
To think that our sale took from November to January (3 months) start to finish proves that it can be done.
Our only hiccup was waiting for the money to be transferred.

The people I dealt with were professional yet friendly - my calls were put through quickly and my query dealt with immediately. I was tied to a deadline and the team pushed hard to reach it. This is the second time I have used Thomas Flavell and I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others.

House sale
Excellent service throughout. Good communication and response to queries. All members of the team shared the same professional attitude.

Reply from Thomas Flavell & Sons - Hinckley
I have just completed on my first house purchase and I am delighted with my experience of using Thomas Flavell & Sons. The whole process felt totally effortless for me, which is testament to the hard work of the team getting everything sorted. It was assuring for me as first time buyer knowing I was in good hands. Special mention to Frannie (and Chris) for her clear, detailed and prompt communication and fantastic customer service, nothing was too much trouble despite my many questions! The time to completion was achieved super quickly which I know the seller / rest of the chain has really appreciated. I look forward to using your services again in the future.

As an estate agent myself I know the importance of having a brilliant solicitor. Frannie Simpson was that and more! I cannot fault her for what was a difficult process made as easy as possible with her speedy, clear and professional communication. Thankyou once again to Frannie and Chris & the Thomas flavell team!

Where do we start. Thomas Flavell & Sons were absolutely amazing throughout the whole process of buying our first home. In particular, we had the pleasure having Frannie Simpson as our point of contact throughout our whole journey. There were a lot of obstacles we had to get through, but Frannie was excellent at keeping us well informed, reassured and chasing any queries quickly and efficiently, she really is a great asset to TFS. We would highly recommend TFS for anyone looking at purchasing their first home. We certainly will be using them again in the future!

Please stay away from these solicitors, We came to these to sell our house, right from the beginning, communication has been shocking, not passing on messages etc. constantly chasing them to see what the situation is. We had problems with our mortgage company and wanted to let the new buyers know the completion date so we didn’t get a early repayment fee, this was communicated to the solicitor and wasn’t passed on and caused massive problems, dealing with about 4 different solicitors us just rediculous, Was called about 5 times to confirm completion date, they didn’t verify our details for payment so payment got delayed, which caused problems with other companies. delay in invoice in being sent and having to chase yet again. I will not use them again.
PLEASE STAY AWAY!
No professionalism and considering how much you have to pay them to do the job, which wasn’t done properly.

Could have asked for more, excellent service throughout
Having had my Father and Mother pass away within a short space of time, I was totally lost with what I had to do. Thanks to Zara and the rest of the team they guided me through the whole process showing compassion and professionalism throughout. Zara was always on hand to answer questions and offer support when required.
We were so impressed with Flavells we will be using them in future for all of our legal matters.

We completed our house moved with them 6 months ago and it nearly fell through due to them not sorting out the finances. This was blamed on us not sending them a link (this was sent in August but they lost it). We had very little progress and had to always ask for updates over the 6 plus months it took. They also said a declaration of trust would be included however 6 months on it still hasn’t and my enquiries ignored.
No idea why the estate agents recommended them as we got the impression that their slow progress, lack of organisation and poor communication was normal. Very disappointed that they never delivered everything promised and created extra stress around the completion date.

Reply from Thomas Flavell & Sons - Hinckley
Great professional service. Matt, Elizabeth and all the team did a fantastic job to make it a smooth effortless procedure. Kept us updated with progress and completed the job extremely efficiently.

We initially dealt with Vijay Singh who was extremely professional and understanding of our situation. He fully explained the probate process to us before handing over the matter to Zara Taylor.
Zara was excellent. She kept us fully informed throughout the process which we’re sure was more difficult due to both Executors living at opposite ends of the country and not being local to Hinckley.
We would send an email at any time of the day and she’d reply almost immediately.
She was very helpful and pleasant to deal with throughout this matter and we cannot sing her praises highly enough.
Thank you also to Hiren Savjani who handled the conveyancing and for finding time to see us at short notice when we were in the area; it was very much appreciated.
All in all we would highly recommend TFS. They are an extremely professional and friendly firm and were a pleasure to deal with.
