Poor & inaccurate communication, slow progress

So far it’s been a very negative experience with Lyons Bowe. From initial issues recognising our deposit, to false information about the status of our checks (multiple times), timelines have not been stuck to at all. All other parties (mortgage, survey, sellers solicitors, estate agents, us as the buyers) have progressed quickly and everything continues to be held up by Lyons Bowe - being passed between hands and lack of accountability has also been very frustrating

So far so good

I like the portal as it’s straightforward and easy to use but more importantly the people at LB are helpful, friendly and efficient and l would use them again.

Completion Solicitor was fantastic

Our initial experience was not good, but once we moved over to the completion team we had a much better experience, this review is solely based on Josie Whiting and not our previous solicitor. Josie was fantastic, communicative and helpful.

Slow, admin errors, website account error

I was looking for an efficient local solicitor who I could trust to execute my Will and take the stress from my widow when the time comes. I paid by bank transfer early to show my intentions and speed the process. Days later a trainee solicitor finally called and we arranged for me to visit Frome office to sign the very simple Will. At the office I asked for a copy of my signed original - the office staff said the solicitor will send a copy later in day or next day. A week later - no copy had been sent then automated emails came through asking me to login and pay!

James's experience...

Too many different people dealing with the case and that meant that we didn't get responses and things fell through the gaps. For example the sale price was wrong on the contract weeks after this picked up and should have been corrected

Highly professional and supportive

I have been extremely pleased with the service I received throughout the process. From the very beginning, she provided clear, practical advice and was always supportive, professional and approachable. She took the time to listen, explain everything clearly and make sure I understood my options, which made what was undoubtedly a difficult and stressful process feel much more manageable. I really appreciated how responsive and reassuring she was, while always maintaining a high level of professionalism. Her knowledge, attention to detail and genuine care for my situation really stood out. At the same time, she was friendly and easy to communicate with, which made a big difference. I would have no hesitation in recommending her and the firm to anyone looking for professional, knowledgeable and compassionate family law support. I am very grateful for all the advice and support I received throughout the process.

Excellent from start to finish

Lucy provided me with excellent advice and support regarding my complex cohabitation and children matter. She was able to offer a practical solution in relation to a cohabitation agreement, while also being incredibly kind, understanding, and emotionally supportive throughout the process. I would highly recommend Lucy and Lyons Bowe to anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and practical legal advice.

Lucy was great right from the start of the process, with very quick and clear explanations of the process and how things would work. Throughout the process I was kept up to date in a timely manner and also was guided through all the options available to me. many thanks to Lucy and the team, and I would recommend to anyone in the future.

Making a difficult situation a lot easier.

I needed a solicitor for help with a financial consent order as part of my divorce. I had an initial video meeting with Lucie and then my paperwork and file were worked on by Harriet. They were both great and kept me updated with everything, if there was anything I didn’t understand, they would explain it for me and never made me feel uncomfortable for not knowing about something that might’ve seemed obvious to them. I was very overwhelmed by the legal process and they just made it a lot easier to deal with at a difficult time in my life.

Very good experience. I think they communicate very well and regularly. Are always genuinely patient and pleasant . I feel tiny window to be a little more proactive but without being there I can’t be certain. I would ask them to represent again . I think some unnecessary acceptance of requests from my buyers solicitor went unchallenged and led to further expense . But again I could be wrong .

Lyons Bowe have been great at assisting me and supporting me through my first ever purchase. With the process being very daunting for a first time buyer like me, they were always informing me of what was to come next and were brilliant in answering any questions I had. I would like to give a massive thank you to Holly, Marco, and Faine for all their help in getting me moved in and securing my first home for me. Thank you!

My experience of Lyons Bowe using them for the second time (first as a buyer) was mixed. Individuals within the company are extremely helpful, and I was particularly impressed with the administrative team and our completions worker Finn Erasmus. However, I would only recommend using them for a straightforward sale, and only if you are the seller. If you are buying and therefore need to take additional care to protect your interests, and if your sale is anything other than entirely straightforward, I would use a proper solicitor. Because of lack of qualifications and experience and because you don't have access to a qualified solicitor, the full advice needed was not available to us and a mistake was made which slowed things down. However, for a fast, straightforward and efficient sale, I would certainly recommend.
