Another mixed performance!

After being encouraged to use Lyons Bowe again after using them 4 years ago, I must admit that, overall, they were much improved. The sale of my property was smooth and well dealt with. However, our joint onward purchase was somewhat different. There are a number of different departments within the company, with multiple people who contacted us and quite often we found it hard finding 1 individual who was dealing with our case. That said, the people we dealt with were polite and helpful.
When it came to the legal team however, Neel didn't fill us with any confidence. She often didn't reply to emails, didn't answer some of our questions and also I had to inform her of the tax impact of our purchase which she got wrong. She had trouble dealing with the other solicitor too, none of which helped our purchase proceed smoothly. Unfortunately, I won't be using Lyons Bowe again as it is the second time I haven't been entirely happy with the overall quality of their service.

Review of New Instructions stage

I found the team to be generally responsive and helpful throughout the process. However, the ECOS software platform caused several frustrating issues. It wouldn’t allow us to sign documents, displayed irrelevant leasehold sections, and despite the team's suggestion to log out and back in, the problems persisted. We had to fill out lengthy forms multiple times due to the software wiping our answers, and in the end, we had to sign documents manually. This was far from an ideal experience, and the software certainly made things more challenging than necessary.

Jonas was extremely helpful. I asked a lot of questions and made plenty of errors but Jonas and the rest of the team were always there to answer me and to ease my nerves during the most important purchase of my life. He really knows what he is talking about and was always happy to help. Jonas really stood out but that goes for the rest of the people I have had the pleasure of dealing with at Lyons Bowe too.

Holly's experience...

Very frustrated with the service we received- you are not allocated 1 solicitor but instead passed across 3 different teams and get someone different replying to you every time. They have been very slow to respond to emails- even on the week of exchange which has made the whole process of buying our first property quite stressful.

Our experience with initially Elle and then Emma were a pleasure, they were both extremely helpful at all times. We were constantly impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. We felt confident throughout the whole process and would recommend to friends and family.

A very disappointing service, with a few exceptions such as Lauren.

Some shocking mistakes made by both a solicitor and legal assistant(s).

More solicitor contact, with continuity, would be one improvement.

About this branch

Description

When we set up Lyons Bowe in 2014, we were driven by a mix of frustration and desire. Frustration at the number of firms that didn’t share the values that we felt were most important and our desire to give clients the kind of service that you told us you wanted. Our core values underpin our entire service and lie at the heart of everything we offer. As a modern law firm, we pride ourselves on representing these core values – both in what we do and how we do it.
