Thornton Jones Solicitors - Ossett

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!

My Family have been using Thornton Jones Solicitors for several years after a personal recommendation. They have supported us through many aspects of family law, Divorce, Conveyancing and Bereavement. They have been supportive, and efficient through all matters. In this day and age it is good to feel they are the old fashioned family solicitor which leaves you with a sense of success and achievement rather than a corporate machine which simply drags you into its jaws and spits you out at the end feeling exhausted. I would recommend Thornton Jones to be a first call in times of Family crisis for sound advice and service

We used Pauline Wilbond for a rather tricky conveyancing instruction and she was nothing short of incredible as were her team! Thank you so much Pauline - we will certainly use your services again!

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.
