Help to Buy Purchase

We worked with Emma and Chloe and it was absolutely brilliant. There were so many hurdles that were thrown in but they managed to get round everything. Contact was great, any annual leave Emma had was all noted in her emails well in advance so we knew when we could and couldn't contact - Also logged in on a day off on 20th of December to allow us to complete before Christmas which was amazing. Really Couldn't fault it.

Excellent Service

Saffia provided excellent professional help in the conveyance of my property. The house was put on the market in Oct 24 and I moved out in mid December 24 - 6 weeks from start to finish and I could not have achieved that timescale without the support of Saffia.

Will Preparation and completion

From the initial meeting to completion of my wife Jayne and my will, the process was seamless, efficient and easy to understand. This was despite our wills involving two businesses, a commercial property owned by my SIPP, in addition to our own house and chattels. The price was fair and we were both very satisfied with the end result. We would definitely recommend Lanyon Bowdler based on our experiences.

Highly recommend! Very responsive and and quick to act.

I couldn’t recommend Chris and the team enough. They were so easy to get hold of and were quick to act of any queries I had. They made the process super easy, and as stress free as possible.

Probate

At the time of my initial meeting with Sophie Burgoyne, concerns about settling my late father’s estate had weighed heavily on me for some time. It was clear from the outset that Sophie had an excellent depth of knowledge in the area. She explained the probate process, and addressed the particular questions that had been worrying me in a reassuring and professional manner. I left feeling like a load had been lifted from my shoulders. All further interactions were efficient, well-communicated and prompt. The whole process moved forward very smoothly. My only regret is that I didn’t approach Sophie sooner.

Lanyon Bowdler have successfully completed a number of conveyancing for me, sometimes they are overly thorough on items of ‘non consequential importance’ but whilst time consuming, ensures due diligence. I will use them again on my next conveyancing in 2025.

Excellent service – thank you

From the outset Lanyon Bowdler LLP were friendly, approachable, easy to deal with and clear on their pricing. The process of the house sale was straight forward. All the documentation received was correct first time. You may say “and so it should be” but believe me not all solicitors are as good as Lanyon Bowdler LLP, thank you.

A client

Do not use Lanyon Bowdler for private client / probate / will matters. The solicitors here are disengaged and lack compassion for bereaved families. The firm spins matters out to maximise fees. Years after instructing them to deal with a simple estate, they have yet to transfer the sums due to a local charity. The service is overpriced, uncaring and unfortunately not competent.
