I would never recommend you to anyone

As a first time buyer I would’ve liked more support through this process. I also would’ve expected for the fairly large chunk of money that the members of your team dealing with my account would actually be able to be reached. As a first homebuyer, it also would’ve been nice for things to be explained in English And documents to be written so it was clear and simple to understand, even the breakdown of the fees to yourselves were convoluted and confusing. We used you as a recommendation from our estate agents and I do regret going with yourselves I furthermore will be passing on my feelings to the estate agent and suggesting them not to suggest yourselves to 1st homebuyers.

Efficient, timely service

Lyons Bowe represented me in a property purchase. Their onboarding is very streamlined through an online process. Emails are answered promptly and I felt well informed throughout. Claire and Alex who looked after me were knowledgeable and helpful. I didn’t give 5 stars because 5 stars requires over and and above. I did experience a couple of minor hitches over stamp duty, which were resolved very quickly. Overall I’m pleased and would recommend the firm to others.

A great team to work with.

Our two main points of contact were Lauren Cray (Conveyancing) and Ella Wachter (Exchange & Completions). They were both polite, professional and patient when bombarded with endless questions.
They were both a pleasure to work with.

Conscientious, efficient and effective service.

I cannot speak highly enough of Ella and Cassandra Davis who managed the sale of my property.
They both responded promptly and courteously to queries, were knowledgeable and reassuring. Despite various frustrations due to the buyers’ solicitors lack of communication and delays, I was kept informed of progress and felt confident that the sale of my property was in safe hands. I would not hesitate to recommend them and Lyons Bowe. Many thanks

Moving house is terrifying, but the best thing I ever done was putting all my eggs in one basket and let Lyons Bowes Solicitors do all the hard work. They really are a game changer. Couldn't recommend them enough.

I am having the best conveyancing experience with Lyons Bowe solicitors for both selling and purchasing properties. I must commend Sian Sheppard who has been my contact on the legal team for her outstanding efficiency and valued assistance throughout the searches and enquiries stage of the process. Having completed this process, my case is now being transferred to the Exchange & Completion team for the final stages of the transactions. I can wholeheartedly recommend Lyons Bowe solicitors to anyone looking for a comprehensive and efficient conveyancing service.

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.
