Excellent customer service with fabulous app

We have been very impressed by the efficiency and communication from our contacts at Lyons Bowe. We regularly receives emails with updates on the progress of our house sale and they have contacted us by phone to talk us through each stage so we have felt well informed of the process. The app has been especially useful to check on the status of our house sale and it allows us to keep on top of the updates because all the information is in one place and it’s so easy to navigate.
We are very happy to recommend Lyons Bowe for anyone selling or buying property.

Very easy to deal with and very clear communication

This is the second time I've used Lyons Bowe for a house conveyancing process and have been very pleased with their services both times. Communication is always clear and they provide detailed information packs that explain every step of the process so you never feel like you're not sure what the next steps are. I've always been able to get hold of people when I need them. Would recommend.

Very easy to communicate with. We were kept fully informed at every stage of the process of the house sale. Good value for money. Didn't have to chase anything as they were proactive and both phoned and emailed us.

Apartment sale

Beth was the closing solicitor and was very pleasant. Before her a lot of the work was done by Molly Donohoe and I found her very helpful and reassuring when I was having hassle with getting the deal over the line.
All in all thank you to both and the team

Helped us with the purchase of our new home, and we're amazing! Very quick and gave constant updates.

We even had an app that told us each step of the way and what was completed. Would highly recommend these!

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! :)

Awful experience with the solicitors. Rude, took an age to reply and didn't seem to appreciate the urgency on several matters. Couldn't comment on certain procedures as they wouldn't know the outcome and was always being fobbed off with an assistant. The 1 star is for the new instructions team - particularly Elle Box and Jasmine Lyford, who were brilliant.

The progress tracker app is great in theory to keep you in the loop but ends up acting as a means to question why something hasn't been done. I'd suggest binning it off as it's often best not to know - it also wasn't updated as often as it should of been.

If I was to pay almost £2000 for this 'service' in any other industry I'd be wanting a refund.

So far everything has been very efficiently handled by the New Instruction team. As we are only part way through the process I am not able to add anything more...

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.

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.
