Thornley Groves and Will Solicitors
Thornley Groves is an estate agency covering Manchester and Cheshire, describing itself as a local agent since 1991. It handles sales and lettings, property management for landlords, valuations and financial services, with specialist teams for student housing, investment, prestige homes and auctions. Its clients include buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants. Thornley Groves is part of the Lomond group, and Julian Wadden, which serves Didsbury, Stockport, Marple and the Heatons, is one of its subsidiaries.
Moving home is one of the times a will most needs a fresh look, because how you own a property decides how your share passes on. Working alongside Thornley Groves means you can sort both while the move is in hand. As a Thornley Groves client, the first consultation call is free and you are under no obligation. Our fees are fixed and published, from £150 + VAT for a single will or £275 + VAT for a pair of mirror wills, and you know the price before any work starts.
Looking after the people behind the firm
Buying a home is often the largest financial step you take, and it changes what a will needs to say. If you buy with a partner, how you own the property matters.
Joint tenants and tenants in common pass on their share in different ways, and your will should match. If you are a landlord with Thornley Groves, rental property adds another layer, from who inherits it to who can manage it if you cannot. A lasting power of attorney lets someone you trust deal with your property and finances, including a sale, if you lose capacity. Moving is a natural moment to check both.
How we can help you and your family
Every service starts with the same free consultation call.
Questions from Thornley Groves clients
Cannot see yours? Ask it on your free consultation call.
I have just bought a house through Thornley Groves. Do I need a new will?
Quite possibly. An older will may not reflect your new home, a new partner or children. If you have never made one, the property would pass under the intestacy rules, which may not match your wishes. A consultation call is free and will tell you whether your current position needs changing.
We are buying together but are not married. Does that matter?
It matters a great deal. Unmarried partners do not automatically inherit from each other without a will. If you own as tenants in common, your share passes under your will, so it is important to have one. We can explain the choices in plain terms on your consultation call.
I own a buy to let property. Can an attorney manage it?
Yes, with a property and financial affairs lasting power of attorney. It lets the person you choose deal with tenants, agents, rent and, if needed, a sale, if you lose capacity. Without one, your family may need a court application before they can act. We can also look at how your rental property should pass in your will.
