Thank you

As a first time buyer, everyone warned me that dealing with the solicitors can be a drain but fortunately, my experience was quite the opposite! Great communication and responses within a timely manner, and I felt comfortable to ask questions on any areas I was unsure of etc. Overall I am happy with the experience and support received from Gintare and the team - thank you!

House sale & purchase

It is almost 2.5 years since the purchase was completed. But my overall recollection was how easy and satisfactory it was to be able to email Vicki Attwood and receive timely, clear and friendly help, advice or updates. I felt connected and was very please. Thank you.

First class service

Graham, Helen and Gemma made the experience of selling my property painless. They were professional at all times, prompt in responding, sent clear communications and they were proactive in identifying and resolving issues. The process went very smoothly and I felt confident they were acting in my best interests throughout.

I bought my first flat with conveyancing services provided by Boys & Maughan. Graham is excellent at his job - he replies quickly, answered all of my questions, helped me to understand technical terms, and made me feel very supported.

Continued excellence in conveyancing

We have used Boys & Maughan (formerly Gardner Croft) for the purchase/sale of properties on 6 occasions. Each time the conveyancing has been of the highest standard. Communication has always been timely and accurate and given in a friendly manner. We have received professional advice (and direction where necessary) without the feeling of being pushed. Whilst the solicitors appointed to us have always performed in an exemplary manner, it is also worthy to mention the recent addition of Kimblerley Garratt as an assistant to the services provided to us. Kimberley has, without fail, responded to any query raised by us almost immediately. This important reassurance measure has only raised our opinion of Boys and Maughan as a firm. We are grateful to say the least.

Unprofessional and unfortunately wouldn't recommend.

Although we have been in our house for a year and are very happy here, the process of getting here was incredibly stressful. We are aware that some aspects of our house purchase were beyond boys and Maughan's control, however the parts that they did have control over were not handled appropriately or particularly professionally. When the purchase was close to falling through after many stressful months, we were told by our solicitor to "just forget about it and go on holiday" The worst part of the whole process was on our set completion date when we realised our solicitor had not instructed the LISA company to release the funds even though she was made aware of them months prior to this. It was only due to the former owner of the house allowing us to have the keys before the money had come through that meant we were able to move in. Who knows what would have happened otherwise! We would definitely not recommend instructing boys and Maughan to carry out a service for you.

Solicitor, Victoria Simpson is an excellent conveyancing solicitor. She has been my solicitor for a number of years and completed several conveyancing matters for me. I followed her from her previous practice because she is very conscientious, expeditious and approachable.
I can't really comment on the company itself but I would definitely recommend Victoria for conveyancing.

As a first time buyer i had no idea of the process and what to expect. But everything from start to finish went very smoothly, there was an issue with the developers which caused a hold up of purchase but i was kept informed of progress at every step and completed in good time. I cannot thank Victoria and her team enough for their expertise. i would highly recommend.
