New Business Team
Chloe was professional, friendly, efficient and gave good advice to us when needed. We found the New Business Team to be very proactive, and Chloe along with her colleagues kept us updated every step of the way in the lead up to handing our file over to our Legal Team. We would definitely recommend their services to friends and family.

Brilliant support for first time buyers
We've had a really great experience with Lyons Bowe so far. As first time buyers are were quite nervous and we ended up coming to Lyons Bowe as we've known 3 or 4 other buyers (some first time, some 2nd or 3rd homes) and they've all had a resounding positive experience with LB. Tessa Smith helped us with our initial enquiry and getting going, as well as giving some great advice on wills; she was super friendly and really approachable and gave good information on an initial phone call. We also dealt with Elle Box and Holly Caswell in the New Instructions team and they've been honestly brilliant. Communication at LB is super strong and we have moved really fast and been kept in the loop with absolutely everything. They're great at holding other solicitors and the estate agent accountable for every step and are great at comms and nudging the other parties to get our paperwork done. We really felt like every tiny query we had was answered and Elle and Holly never made us feel like anything was a silly question. They were also super responsive as well which has been fantastic! We've now had a handover from Rachel Harper to Katarina Donovan in the Legal Team and we're sure that the great service is going to continue. Thank you so much to everyone at Lyons Bowe - really great experience and looking forward to crossing the finish line to our first home with you all!

We can't thank Katarina enough for her help & expertise with the sale of our property. There were some challenges getting the sale through but with her assistance & patience it went through as smoothly as it could.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support I received from my solicitor during the sale of my house. The communication was always quick, clear, and professional. I felt truly well taken care of throughout the whole process. I highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable and expert legal help – especially Lucinda Strydom. Thank you!

If I could give this company zero stars I would. Most horrendous company ever! I was selling my property and found out only through the real estate agent around the 5 month mark (!!) that the buyer’s mortgage deal would run out at 6 months and he would start renegotiating. I promptly inquired and was told ‘we’ll try to get it done’ and ‘we only need a few more things’. 6 months came around and silence. No communication. If you haven’t already figured it out, they didn’t get it done and the deal fell through.
They also gave out management company details to the buyer without my knowledge. (No explanation for that) Deliberately avoided calling me claiming she had ‘meetings’. Took no accountability and when I complained, the company didn’t see the issue. They claimed she had consistent contact with me.
I can’t warn people enough about them!! Find another firm. You’ll save yourself a lot of stress. I wouldn’t let these people write a will for my dog.

We’re in the process of buying our first house. Chloe was very patient with us and gave us help while we figured out what we needed to do. We have been getting updates every step of the way which has given us piece of mind during the whole process.

Paul and the team did a brilliant job with the purchase of a commercial property for us. They acted with kindness and professionalism throughout the whole process especially due to difficult circumstances. We would absolutely work with them again and recommend their services.

Holly's experience...
Very frustrated with the service we received- you are not allocated 1 solicitor but instead passed across 3 different teams and get someone different replying to you every time. They have been very slow to respond to emails- even on the week of exchange which has made the whole process of buying our first property quite stressful.

Ellen's experience...
A very disappointing service, with a few exceptions such as Lauren.
Some shocking mistakes made by both a solicitor and legal assistant(s).
More solicitor contact, with continuity, would be one improvement.

About this branch
Description
When we set up Lyons Bowe in 2014, we were driven by a mix of frustration and desire. Frustration at the number of firms that didn’t share the values that we felt were most important and our desire to give clients the kind of service that you told us you wanted. Our core values underpin our entire service and lie at the heart of everything we offer. As a modern law firm, we pride ourselves on representing these core values – both in what we do and how we do it.
