First Class Service

I sought legal help to make a will. From start to finish the process was efficient, friendly and made easy to understand. I would definitely recommend this firm of solicitors for help in writing a will or any other legal matter.

Thank you in particular to Andrea McCoy.

Purchase of our first home.

Our experience with Rachel was exceptional. We were always given very clear information regarding our first house purchase and were walked through everything step by step. Rachel was always very timely in all forms of communication and always very responsive to our questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Rachel for your house purchasing needs and would confidently use Rachel’s services again. Can’t thank Rachel enough.

Success

Conveyancy is not a simple affair as there are numerous matters that require clarification & confirmation.Additionally even a small chain can impact on procedures as the process of moving house is a very personal event. Given this the task must require not just a legal approach but patience &, I'm sure , tact. Boys & Maughan, & particularly Rachel Revell,have in our specific case ,been put under time pressure but have managed to process our sale at very short notice, for which we are very grateful.

Facts Speak for Themselves

Initial ID/laundering checks were not completed until after I paid my deposit, very near completion date.
There were long delays in answering my questions and on two occasions I had to contact a senior partner to move things along. It took nearly six months to organise Chancel insurance. My file was passed back and forth between colleagues.
I was given an apology and a small reduction in fees. I would rather have had my case dealt with properly and in a timely manner. It made a very stressful situation worse.

Originally concerned with lack of communication,but after a good talk with my solicitor today and the explanation of a complex detail of the purchase I'm happy to change my review and recommend them for conveyancing.
