Contract exchange
Selling and buying a property is a very stressful period but at last we are nearly there with grateful thanks to Abi Gibbs.
Replies to her enquiries were often protracted giving rise to much frustration. It seemed we would never get there.
However, Abi managed to pull it all together to achieve and exchange date acceptable to all parties.
Well done Abi and thank you from both of us.

Writing a will
Easy to follow instructions via email to arrange making a will. A virtual meeting was arranged and Andrea talked us through the process with impartiality and transparency. Would recommend Lyons Bowe based on this experience.

Free Will Service
I used their services under the free will initiative to up date my will. The whole process was clear and straight forward from my initial consultation with Rhiannon Cape to receiving the finalised documents from Lauren James. Any queries were dealt with promptly and communication was maintained throughout. I have no hesitation to recommend this firm of solicitors.

Superb wills service from Lyons Bowe Solicitors
I was put in touch with Lyons Bowe Solicitors via the charity lead free wills month. I recommend them thoroughly. From start to end, the whole team have been friendly, efficient, personable and helpful. Our solicitor Andrea Mapstone in particular was superb. The group use an on-line portal and virtual meetings which are both efficient and effective. The team have been timely throughout, engaging quickly, responding quickly and delivering as they promise. I highly recommend them and would certainly engage with them on other services if needed - thanks to everyone in the team.

Selling a property
Selling a property is normally a very stressful and unsettling period. However, Alisha Keerthisinghe who dealt with our sale kept us informed at every stage of the proceedings.
Her expertise gave us the confidence that it was in capable hands. It progressed smoothly to completion. Thank you Alisha

Our experience with Lyons Bowe was…
Our experience with Lyons Bowe was extremely stressful and disappointing as first time buyers. The whole process felt completely standardised, receiving more templated letters and emails than actual human interaction.
Whenever we did request contact from our solicitor we would have to wait for a significant amount of time before receiving a response via email only (at times regarding urgent matters). We could not once get hold of our solicitor on the phone, and were convinced that their direct dial went straight to voicemail regardless of whether they were in the office or not. At times we would attempt to call through reception (to no avail) and more times than not the telephone manner of the receptionist would be absolutely atrocious, and you were left feeling like you were a huge inconvenience for even calling.
Our solicitor would completely forget about the advice that they had already given us, and told us that we would need to take out an indemnity policy when they had already done this for us weeks ago. Granted our sellers solicitor’s were very slow, however there was no effort to chase this and it felt like our solicitor was happy to let things sit to the benefit of their other case load - even when we had tight deadlines to work towards with our ongoing tenancy agreement.
The only time we were actually able to speak to someone on the phone was when we reached the exchange and completion team. Lottie was absolutely brilliant, but has now left the company.

Top Notch Conveyancing!
We used Lyons Bowe for the sale of our property and the purchaee of the next and from start to finish, these guys were fantastic! Even with all the pestering from my end (sorry guys!), they were happy to help every step of the way and we managed to complete on both sides in 3 months! Outstanding customer service and a special thank you too Madeline, Aansa, Elle and Abi for all you have done for us, you are all awesome!
