What our customers say

Andy was fantastic with our families recent property purchases. We had a longer wait to settle but Andy kept us updated on the status and next steps. As with property purchases the stress levels are high but Andy was calm and reassuring and made the process as seamless as possible. Would recommend Andy and Alan for your next property purchase.

I am so very disappointed with Thornton and I would never use them again. Their lack of communication, oversights and costs were pretty bad.

Highly recommended. We were very nervous about our purchase via our Super Fund and these guys are all over it. Kept us calm, knew exactly what to do and were super efficient, even though it was over the Christmas/New Year period, they were there! Thank you so much Vanessa, Alan and Amber who looked after us.

I have used Thornton + King's service for the purchase of our first home. All throughout the process, they have been very professional and honest with their feedback. They ensured that we understand the impacts of clauses in the contract and possible risks associated with them.

Thornton and King were engaged by my wife and I to handle the sale of our apartment. This was our first engagement with them as our previous solicitor had retired and they came highly recommended. I must say I found the experience smooth and faultless. The communication was concise and clear. All aspects were handled with professionalism and at all times we felt our sale was thei...
