So efficient and so professional

5

We instructed Karen Bell to deal with the sale of our house. She was so efficient, so professional and very prompt with all communication. Even when the surprise of unregistered land appeared, Karen dealt with it so swiftly and had reassuringly excellent knowledge of the process, which was so reassuring. Highly recommend Karen and will definitely be using her again.

Dear Julie, thank you for your review. I am pleased to have acted for you and overcome the surprise of the unregistered land, which unfortunately caused the final cost to be more than initially quoted. Kind regards, Karen.

Painless house sale

5

I recently used LB to sell my late mothers property, the process was made very straight forward by Karen, her knowledge and communication was nothing but first class. All parties were paid by solicitors and money transfer to my account was quick and efficient. Would use in future.

House sale

5

We have used Lanyon Bowdler several times for a variety of reasons. For our recent sale of my mother’s house and our own house we used the same solicitor – Karen Bell at the Hereford office. She was approachable, friendly and professional. Keeping us fully informed at all times. Listening to and acting on our questions and concerns. Gave us advice when requested and necessary. Excellent service, would recommend LB and Karen.

Perfect service, once again!

5

Karen helped me with the purchase of a new home after a relationship ended. She kept in constant contact, I received updates regarding searches as soon as they completed. The whole transaction was painless and stress free, also completed sale and exchange of contracts really quickly. I’ve recommended Lanyon Bowdler and Karen to others and will continue to do so. Many thanks!

Amazing experience using a solicitor for the first time

5

We were recommended Karen at Lanyon Bowdler Hereford and we couldn’t have asked for a better first experience using a solicitor. Buying our first home wasn’t stressful at all due to the amazing support and advice throughout from Karen. Her communication was impeccable, she calmed any nerves we had and explained everything simply and clearly. Thank you again.

Excellent service and would thoroughly recommend

Big thank you to Karen Bell for all her help and guidance during the conveyancing of our first home. From start to finish the process was very efficient, straightforward and we were kept well informed. Karen is very friendly, approachable and easy to speak to and as we were first timers, guided us through the process and explained everything very well. Thank you!
