Brilliant service bringing a long running issue to a speedy conclusion

George Orton supported by Lucy Brown, was so helpful in assisting with a settlement agreement for an aborted off plan property purchase. George was incredibly efficient and was able to answer all my questions in the space of one phone call, then dealt with bringing our dispute to a conclusion in a matter of days. Thank you George.

Fantastic!

Danielle was absolutely brilliant in securing us our first home. She always communicated with us promptly, she made it really clear what each step entailed and what we needed to do, as well as putting our minds at rest as first time buyers. Would recommend anybody to use Danielle to purchase their home.

Undertaking the stressful process of buying & selling is not easy at the best of times. We were moving from Kent to Lincolnshire. All in all it was less stressful due to the service and communication from Elliot Aish and the team. They were brilliant. Communication was excellent and none of our questions were unanswered. Everyone was friendly and approachable and very professional at all times. Thank you!

Amazing!

From the very start Laura has been incredible. Her knowledge and experience shines through! She is so kind, understanding and very easy to work with.
Laura has been an absolute godsend and I can’t thank her enough for getting me through the family court process. Would highly recommended to anyone in a similar situation. What was an incredibly stressful time was made so much easier by having someone like Laura in my corner. She makes sure everything and more is prepared and covered in readiness. Thank you so much!

Excellent Service

Despite many hiccups with the sale of my property, Karen was polite, proffessional, and tenacious in getting every issue dealt with as soon as it cropped up.
I cannot recommend her, or the firm, highly enough.

awful experience. fees i paid upfront i was told in the begining that i would get the money. but i never did. the estate said they have sent the invoice to boys and maughan and boys and maughan said they never receiv they are not honest. i would advise the public to stay away from this solicitor and the estate agent who marketed my property for your own safety and peace of mind. they would take your money in broad day light.to this day i still have not received the money back. margate branch and the the estate agent dover branch.i advice the public to save themselves the stress ,and look for honest solicitor firm

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.
