Selling Property

1

This was the worst experience we have had selling a property. We have sold a few with other estate agents.
We were passed over to every department through the sell, which I do understand. It would have been nice to have one main contact. We were told that there would be continuity if any staff member was sick or holiday, this was not the case. The process stopped and was picked up when staff member back. They must have a lot of graduates coming through, which I do understand they need to learn, the issue was it seemed we had a fresh graduate at every stage so with there lack of experience this really slowed the process down.
We originally had a previous buyer for our property, which we eventually pulled out off, We presumed it was the buyer dragging his feet.
After going through the agonizing process again with next buyer, we soon realized it was the solicitors.
I honestly say it was a stressful experience and one I would not want anyone to go through, also with the drawn out process, we lost literally thousands of pounds and with 3 young kids, that’s not great. I am a person who always sees the good in people and situations. I am not pinpointing one person, it was there whole business setup and ethos, very disappointed. In this situation I would not recommend them at all. Stay well away.

Efficient and helpful

4

Sometimes information wasn’t passed through from one team to another and the change in selling price didn’t get updated but otherwise the process was clear and efficient and responses to queries were dealt with quickly.
Having recently dealt with another sale for a deceased relative using a different online system, I would like to have been able to review documents that had already been uploaded. If that was possible, I didn’t manage to work out how to do it. It seemed as if once you had completed a section, there was no going back. It would also have helped to know at the beginning that each team would only deal with one part of the process and then the client would be passed on to another lawyer. However, I might have missed that in all the information sent but the pathway could have been clearer.
All that having been said, I was confident that the conveyancing was in good hands and I was sent information that I should have had when I purchased the property!
I would certainly recommend Lyons Bowe to others for conveyancing and your prices are competitive.

Best legal experience ever

5

We have just completed on our 9th house and Lyons Bowe have made it the easiest and smoothest transaction ever. The system they use by using different people at different stages is superb and so efficient. We have been updated at every stage. Feel as though I know Ella really well even though we’ve never met, she’s been great. Even two different estate agents commented on their promptness and efficiency.

Michael's experience...

I should like to thank Robert Hann for his ongoing help and support he has provided throughout the sale of my property.
One of the most approachable and professional people I have ever had the good fortune to deal with and a true credit to his profession.
It it with great sadness that I am unable to work with the practice on my upcoming purchase - quite tearful in fact- but if ever there was an opertunity I would most definitely recommend Robert as a hard working, knowledgeable and conscientious legal guy. Wishing him and his team all the very best for the future.
MANY MANY THANKS.
Mike.

May I say a big thank you to Laura Walker and the team. Although the sale of our house had become a bit of a way of life, as it took so long, Laura and the rest of your team working on our case did an outstanding job. Please pass on our thanks.
