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

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.

House selling

Had a slight hiccup with the TA10 form ( was not really ready to compete) also as on the app the form number was not mentioned and we hoped that we could fill it in manually as first mentioned ( in the office)but we had to complete it online.
The app is friendly to use although there are not many places to add additional content.
We had only emails from Jasmin as that’s what was requested and they where all easy to understand once we sorted out the TA10 form (mainly concentrated on the app).

The Shipley Family House Sale

Lyons Bowe were recommended to us by the Estate Agent. We wanted an upbeat, on the ball experience and that is what we got with them chasing me for information (in a very nice and professional way). They were nurturing the progress all the way and we just provided the answers. So, to date, all I have is praise for them, especially Prerana Das, a Legal Assistant who has been our principal contact and guide throughout the whole experience.

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.

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.
