We were recommended Burgess Thomson by friends when we purchased our first home - and we strongly recommend their business to any other first-home buyers. Assisted by, among others, James, Zach, Temeka and Dafydd, their team communicated extremely well, were helpful and patient with our issues and concerns - and guided us through an unfamiliar process.
Thank you Burgess Thomson for your services, professionalism, and efficiency; and for making our transition to a new home a smooth experience.

We want to express our gratitude to James Thompson and the team at Burgess Thompson for their professional legal support during our recent residential purchase. Despite a complex contract that required an extended negotiation period, BT remained dedicated and helped us finalise the process quickly. Their excellent advice was invaluable, leading to a fantastic outcome with minimal stress.

I wanted to take a moment to provide some feedback on the services you provided during my recent property transaction.
I was very satisfied with the service provided. Your professionalism and knowledge of the conveyancing process were evident throughout, which helped to make what could have been a stressful process much more manageable.
I appreciated the clarity with which you explained each step of the process. Your timely responses to my queries were particularly helpful.
The transaction was handled efficiently, with all the key milestones being met on time.
Your professionalism was commendable, and your attention to detail in reviewing documents was reassuring. I felt confident that all aspects of the transaction were being handled with care.
I found the fees to be reasonable, and I believe the service provided was good value for the cost. The cost transparency was appreciated, and there were no unexpected charges, which was a relief. I would recommend your services to others, particularly because of your clear communication and professional approach. I would consider using your services again for any future property transactions. Thank you once again for your assistance during this process.

My husband and I recently updated our Wills and Powers of Attorney. Previously we had completed pro forma wills ourselves but decided we needed professional advice as we have a blended family. We sought help from Burgess Thompson and we were more than happy with the choice. From the first meeting with Damian Burgess we felt at ease and comfortable. Damian answered our queries in a simple and straightforward manner and we felt fully involved in the process. Damian was also excellent in communicating by phone and advising when some processes were complete. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Damian and we will definitely return if we need more assistance with any future legal matters. Noelene & Barry Timmins
