Amazing experience!

We’ve had a phenomenal experience with Lyons Bowe throughout our first house purchase. Maisie initially assisted us in the new instructions team, and she was incredibly efficient, always on the ball and ready to answer any questions we had. Laura Walker, our main point of contact, was absolutely amazing – we always knew exactly where we stood and how the transaction was progressing. Having Laura at the end of the line truly made us feel at ease. We honestly cannot thank Laura enough.
Now working with Beth in the Exchange and Completions team, we've continued to receive excellent support. Beth has been fantastic, keeping us informed and helping us through the final stages.
Overall, our experience with Lyons Bowe has been brilliant. Their communication has been top-notch, something they should be very proud of. We also loved the app updates, which kept everything seamless.
Thank you, Lyons Bowe!

Finally sold, bought and in our new home.

We found all the personnel we had contact with at Lyons Bowe to be friendly,polite,understanding and efficient.
To conclude the selling and purchase we had Jada (and Beth for a few days when Jada was on leave, who did a great job pushing things along) who were very supportive in what became a very frustrating, delaying experience with the selling of our property. We were kept well informed at every stage and were assured that Jada was doing all she could to reach a completion day despite all the delays.
Finally it was agreed. We are in our new home and very content. Thank you Lyons Bowe.

Fantastic service!

Had an amazing experience with them even though we have already relocated to Spain. Extremely responsive to emails and calls and even though at every stage we got passed onto a new team, that wasn’t a problem. Had a dedicated person for each stage of the house sale. And even when we said that we cannot deliver signed documents (being in Spain and the office in Shepton )they found a way with docusign so nothing was lost in the post. I’m so glad we went with them. Shame the buyer didn’t have an equally reactive team, otherwise we would have completed a month ago. I hope they carry on the good work! Thank you!

Conveyancing of the sale of my home

Zoe and the team proved to be effective, efficient and expeditious on my side of the sales transaction! At the same time Zoe answered my calls or messages directly. When she was on leave, another in the team stood in.

So far, so good

So far, all very good and impressive. Having previous experience with a less recommendable Solicitors, LB have really impressed, very prompt to respond, they also push me to return the documents they need. Recruited initially for Second Grant Probate and estate adminstration, then also for property sell.
Also significantly cheaper than an alternative highly recommended solicitor I had been suggested.

Lyons Bowe service has been great. The app was fab and communications via email were quick and clear. The journey plan allowed us to manage our own expectations, but honestly, they exceeded in all areas. The whole team gave an impeccable service. Thoroughly recommend.

Helped us with the purchase of our new home, and we're amazing! Very quick and gave constant updates.

We even had an app that told us each step of the way and what was completed. Would highly recommend these!

We have been dealing with Emma Leighton-Carey for the purchase of our new property, and I cannot sing her praises enough. It only took her SIX weeks for the entire process, and we exchanged without a single issue. So unbelievably quick and efficient. Constant contact and email updates, nothing was too much trouble. Emma dealt with my worries and concerns as a first time buyer, and instilled full confidence in me that everything was going to be OK. We had responses to every question asked within a couple of hours, all the paperwork sent across with clear instructions on what to do and confirmation of payments received without having to chase it up. Emma's knowledge is first class, she is polite, professional and friendly. I highly recommend her and her services to anyone looking to move, she honestly made it so stress free and easy! :)

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.
