“We had a great experience working with Andrew and his team at Gough Thorne Solicitors. They met every deadline and maintained clear, consistent communication throughout the entire process. At every stage, they kept us informed, explained what to expect next, and were always happy to answer any questions we had, no matter how small.”

“We recently used Gough Thorne when buying our first home. I cannot put into words just how amazing Johanna and team were! We never had to chase, everything was so quick and efficient, the whole process start to finish was seamless. The team went above and beyond to ensure we completed before the stamp duty end of March. I couldn’t believe just how quickly they got everything done – you hear horror stories of completion taking months but not with Gough Thorne! I cant express the gratitude we have. Thanks so much again!!”

“Excellent service and support. Give prompt attention to all customer queries. Reasonable fee and no hidden charges. Great communication and relationship with the customers. Well Done team Gough Thorne”

“I looked around quite a lot for a suitable conveyancer before I went with Gough Thorne. My case was complicated and a few good conveyancers turned me down. Zain took on my case and his team, specifically Dawn Thomas, were brilliant! Ever since they took on my case, everything went smoothly with a successful completion at the end. Dawn was very patient and answered all my queries promptly. Most lawyers tend to rush things, even conversations. But Zain’s team provided amazing customer service!”

“We had a fantastic experience using Gough Thorne when buying our house. They were very communicative and on top of everything, and we couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you Johanna and team!”
