Introduction to Lyons Bowe

Although we had used Lyons Bowe before, we were led through the introduction process very efficiently. We have now been allocated a fee-earner who will complete the purchase and sale process. All good so far.

Very Helpful

We needed to write our will and discovered this company by online reviews. I have to say we found them to be very helpful and professional at all times. We were most impressed with the knowledge and suggested solutions to areas of our wills which needed a bit of work. We were kept up to date with progress and they were happy to answer any issues we had via email or phone. We would recommend them for their honest approach and communication.

Conveyancer with limited experience

Exchange and completion held up by inexperience of conveyancer who had to run much of the work through her supervisor. Contracts were not sent for signature until day I was due to complete (on third attempt following other hold-ups) resulting in me having to do a six-hour drive to sign the document - on other recent property sales, with different solicitors, contracts were sent out in advance for signature. On the positive side my conveyancer always tried to be polite although she was difficult to understand at times and the exchange and completion team were very efficient. I chose these solicitors because I thought they were local and in the same street as the purchaser’s solicitor in the hope they would have a good working relationship but my case was allocated to a conveyancer from out of area and there were breakdowns in communication. A formal complaint to a more senior staff member was not responded to.
So when I sell my next property in a few months time I will not be using Lyons Bowe.

Lyons Bowe created new Wills for us after we moved house and wanted a complete Will overhaul. They were very attentive from the start and the process of creating new Wills was quick and simple. We'd definitely recommend them.

Highly recommend Zoe Spencer who handled our sale and purchase file at the final stage and Katarina Donovan who took over our sale file prior to handing over to Zoe for their professionalism. They both took the time to answer all questions fully and provided regular contact and updates.

The ease of making the initial appointment was brilliant. On the day, Rhiannon really put Mum at ease. She was friendly, polite and yet efficient, knowledgeable and professional at the same time. We will definitely be using Lyonsbowe in the future for our family legal affairs!

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.
