Not enough clear information

I found some of the requirements of myself as a customer were very late in the proceedings and if I’d been made aware earlier could have sped up the whole process, also there seemed to be a lack of communication between the two offices.

Sorry but wouldn't recommend

Based on how slow responses were, the change in solicitor through the case and not being told so, I would not recommend. Solicitor was never available, always out of office. When I knew myself that the case was completed (divorce), I had to email multiple people within the company to actually find out what was going on from the other party / if assets had been successfully transferred and I was off the mortgage. Some emails were misread by the solicitor, therefore I received replies with wrong information that I've essentially had to pay for. Not impressed to say the least especially as it was through such a turbulent time in my life.

New instructions team

The new instructions team have been great, it’s 3 weeks since my offer on a flat was accepted and I feel like the purchase process has been started and moved along quickly. Everyone involved has been really communicative and I’ve been kept in the loop at each stage. It’s nice to have the app to see what to expect and when.

Recent experience with Lyons Bowe

I have no complaints with Shriyanthi or Lyons Bowe but would have plenty for the buyers solicitors.
Sorry I can't be more enthusiastic at this point but I have had two sales fall through and now 6 months into third and trying to arrange completion date but buyer needs to sort mortgage out.
The buying/selling of a property process needs a bit of streamlining everything fine with Lyons Bowe and Shriyanthi.

Visited on 10/12/2024 as I needed a statutory declaration witnessing. Was told to come back the next morning.

The following morning, to avoid a wasted journey, I called again to confirm there was availability. I was told yes - so it was rather surprising having arrived just 20 minutes later to be told that there there is now no availability, and no reason why.

Very unprofessional and not the kind of service you'd expect from a profession that requires attention to detail and organisational skills.

When another Solicitors let me down halfway through the sale of my property, Lyon Bowe Solicitors jumped in and managed to push the whole sale through in record time saving us from a lot of potential problems, literally saving the day. I would highly recommend them to anyone, great team, super friendly and efficient.

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.

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.
