Trustworthy and patient.

Moving without anyone to ask for help made me feel very vulnerable but Lauren from Boys & Maughan were always at the end of the phone or email. I was so grateful that I could trust the advice given and how quickly it was given ! Great job !

Updating our wills.

Our old wills were out of date and we spent quite a bit of time preparing before our meeting with Kathleen. I think this helped with the smooth process. The layout and contents of the wills was quite different to our previous ones which were also done at Boys & Maughan, which gives me confidence that they are keeping up to date with current practices.

As this was the first time I have gone through this process, Jonathon was good to take us through it.
I would say honesty plays a big part and if you can agree to mediate with good intention helps to take things forward. Remember when visiting the solicitors it’s the time face to face and time in the background. Eg. Emails and paperwork collated are the costs. Make sure you understand that further costs are made for this reason. Overall the process went well.

Absolutely brilliant solicitors. Communicated throughout the process of the sale of my property. I needed a quick sale and they were more than happy to accommodate. I even sold my property sooner than I expected!

Richard Robinson was appointed to help sell my flat. I knew starting that it wasn’t going to be a simple process as a similar flat in the same development had been going through the sale process starting around 9 months earlier and had not completed.

Richard was very good a giving me regular updates, replying to emails and calls and explaining what the technical terms meant. We did run into significant road blocks along a way around a unresponsive management company where both myself and Richard chased up managing to get the required information where the other mentioned flat was not able to.

This would’ve been a 5 star review however after exchange and the day before completion Richard informed me that the help to buy equity loan side had been overlooked and not completed. I was able to get a valuation carried out the next day and Richard chased help to buy customer service as was able to complete just a day late. Richard was very apologetic and reduce my legals fees by a fair amount in compensation unprompted.

As an estate agent of 24 years I can honestly say Richard Durrant of Boys and Maughan is the best conveyancing solicitor In the industry by a country mile! I have worked with him on both a personal and professional level. His dedication to his clients and resolving issues that other solicitors would give up on is unrivalled. If you want your home sale or purchase to complete with as little stress as possible then Richard is your man. Thanks again Richard first class job as always.
