Brilliant Service

I recently had the pleasure of working with Boys & Maughan Solicitors to sell my property, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to helping us through the entire process. The communication was exceptional. Cerys Hopkins kept us informed at every step, answering our questions promptly and clearly. We felt supported and well-informed throughout the entire transaction.
Their knowledge of property law and the selling process was evident. They guided us through the necessary paperwork and legal requirements, ensuring everything was handled smoothly. We appreciated their attention to detail and thoroughness.
The process was completed much quicker than we anticipated, thanks to their efficient handling of our case. They worked diligently to meet deadlines and were proactive in addressing any potential issues that arose.
What stood out the most was their customer service. They treated us with respect and understanding, making what could have been a stressful experience much more manageable. It was clear that our satisfaction was their priority.
Overall, I am very grateful for the support from [Solicitor Firm Name]. If you are looking to sell your property, I highly recommend their services! Thank you, Boys & Maughan Solicitors for making our property sale a success!

More Excellent Service

I have been using Boys & Maughan for Private Client matters for around 20 years, but this was my first Litigation.

George Orton's advice was superb from the outset. He clearly laid out all the pros and cons for me to be able to make a balanced judgement as to my best course of action, both in time and financially.

Another successful conveyancing experience with Boys & Maughan

This was the second occasion during 2024 that I commissioned Boys & Maughan to undertake conveyancing work on my behalf. Having had a very positive experience with the firm earlier in the year I had no hesitation in asking Sophie Batten to deal with the sale of my property in Bean. By and large, the process ran very smoothly though there were some issue concerning 'rights of access', Ms. Batten dealt with those in a smooth and efficient manner and kept me fully informed at all times. I had every confidence in what she was doing and was grateful to her for assuring that we completed successfully, and in a timely manner.

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.
