Sale of our house

5

Helen is a very dedicated lawyer. She has made the sale of our house appear easy, quick and effortless. She has kept us informed throughout the process. We would happily recommend her to friends and family and instruct her again in a heartbeat.

Purchase of land.

The process took longer than expected due to other factors rather than our Solicitor. It was a good outcome.

Smooth and successful conveyancing experience

5

Both Helen Knowles herself and the colleagues to whom some of the work was delegated were founts of wisdom and sources of comfort through what might otherwise have been an unnerving process! She dealt very calmly and efficiently with the pressure that crept in as the finishing line came into view. Although the absence from the Updates and Documents sections of my online account of much that I was sent by other means (by email or through the post) could be thought to constitute a small shortcoming - not individual but corporate - in respect of communication, all else about the service we received was everything for which we could have asked.

Farm House

5

Helen was helpful with our purchasing of a Farm. We also found Meg to be extremely able and helpful and Richard assisted when Helen was absent as we had a time constraint so he helped move things along. Overall it was a great experience and we achieved our target of completion before the budget, thus saving a very large amount of money! Thank you everyone for helping make that happen. This was a much more complicated conveyencing than previously - as Helen has done two other houses for us, but the farm land made this more difficult for us to understand and yet Helen was able to help as was Meg with any questions I had.

Professional Service

We used Boys and Maughan for a Buy to Let purchase. The solicitor and Trainee Paralegal were both professional at all times and answered any questions promptly. We will definitely use Boys and Maughan in the future.
