Lyons Bowe

Used lyons bowe wells rd. They were lovely to deal with. Friendly and efficient.
Sure the new keynsham branch will be fab too.

I would not recommend Lyons Bowe at all. Despite saying from the outset that I wanted my conveyancing to be handled by one person (a solicitor), I had to deal with about a dozen different people in various 'teams'; many of them were inexperienced and unqualified people. This mode of operation was never explained to me; I would have chosen another firm if they had. Every time got through on the phone they had to find my file on their system.

In my initial 'welcome pack' I was told the name of a solicitor in charge of my case. I never heard from him.

On two occasions someone sent demands for money which had already been paid.

Maybe I like old-fashioned service, but on one occasion was asked if I minded a call back as the person had to collect her child from school. Fact or excuse - either way it is not what I expect from a legal firm. On the one occasion I called into the office I was confronted by girls in very casual dress, not proper business appearance at all.

I had on more than one occasion to do the chasing of purchasers and sellers via estate agents - work that the company could or would not do.

Even after completion, I had to ask for paperwork that had been promised verbally.

If you want a casual operation (but charged at professional fees), then Lyons Bowe is the legal firm for you.

Had to deal with them on an urgent family matter. They were patient and attentive to detail. Couldn’t have asked for more.

We have been dealing with Emma Leighton-Carey for the purchase of our new property, and I cannot sing her praises enough. It only took her SIX weeks for the entire process, and we exchanged without a single issue. So unbelievably quick and efficient. Constant contact and email updates, nothing was too much trouble. Emma dealt with my worries and concerns as a first time buyer, and instilled full confidence in me that everything was going to be OK. We had responses to every question asked within a couple of hours, all the paperwork sent across with clear instructions on what to do and confirmation of payments received without having to chase it up. Emma's knowledge is first class, she is polite, professional and friendly. I highly recommend her and her services to anyone looking to move, she honestly made it so stress free and easy! :)

Sarah Evans and Holly Reynolds were an absolute joy to work with from beginning to end. I anticipated a traditionally laborious conveyance, but it was quite the opposite – they're knowledgeable, communicative, human, kind, and went way, way over and above for me. I was lucky to have them.
