Great service from Lyons bowe

This is the second time I have used Lyons bowe for a house sale and all being well I hope to use them again in the future. Seamless transfer between specialist professionals within the service. Kerryanne Jones a key member of the team supporting me was consistently accessible demonstrating her expertise throughout.

A solid performance

Although I find it difficult to understand why Lyons Bowe have different people doing each part of the process, Katarina played her part very well. She is a good communicator and sends you updates in a manner that is easy to understand. We have done the bulk of our transaction in around a calander Month which is very good indeed. She did a great job and we thank her for her efforts.

Amazing!

Kerryanne was amazing from start to finish. She kept us up to date at all times, didn’t need to chase once! Every time we reached out with a question or query, she replied both clearly and quickly. We ended up choosing to not progress with the sale due to issues that arose with the property but will absolutely returning once we find a new property to proceed with.

Great communication throughout

Wanted to provide some feedback to the excellent team at Lyon’s Bowe. Great communication throughout the sale of my house, really pleased with the service. All the staff I have interacted with have been friendly and proactive. Special mention to Alex who has been exceptional. He is knowledgable and has really helped keep us updated throughout the final stages. We are now on the final phase before completion on my next property.

I could not recommend Lyons Bowe enough. We're first time buyers so this is all a very new experience for us and we've heard some horror stories about how solicitors can drag the process out or are hard to get hold of. However Connie at Lyons Bowe has been incredible, has kept us in the loop throughout, been incredibly responsive, including phoning us at 4:55pm on a Friday after we had a bit of a first time buyer panic. She's been happy to answer any queries we've had, consistently chased the vendor's solicitor and reassured us throughout what would have otherwise been an incredibly stressful process. Fantastic solicitors!!!

Currently in the process of trying to buy our first home. Here's how the process has gone so far. Estate agent recommends Lyons Bowe. My wife is the one actually purchasing the property I might add. Just so when Lyons Bowe see this, they don't refute the experience. With that context established, she also works late shifts and doesn't have access to her phone. In light of that information, she requested that I be the point of contact, as her husband, as I'm self employed I can deal with enquiries far more easily. We were onboarded by a Lewis Bray, (who actually requested a review) and not without the assistance of a Layla. Whom I spoke to and haven't heard from since. This process was pleasant, warm and friendly. We've now been 'handed' over - a process that wasn't explained or consented. Handed over to another person, some 6 weeks into the process. A process we have absolutely no timeline or basis for understanding the length of the entire process. Despite asking for even a vague estimate on multiple occasions. Lewis actually ignored both mine and my wife's last emails. (Prior to handover) We are now in no mans land. I spoke to the estate agent, who said this is the worst experience they've had with Lyons Bowe to date. Being our first home purchase. I have little basis for comparison. Upon reviewing documents that took over a month to arrive, I still have no idea how much the entire process is likely to set us back financially. Caveated multiple times in the new documents are various prices - an additional £150 here and there. Despite insisting that the original quote was a worst case scenario price. Some £2700 or thereabouts. An increase of £700 over a previously quoted solicitor that unfortunately didn't deal with leasehold anymore. I can't say I blame them given our experience thus far. The whole process to date has made us want to continue renting and never buy a house / flat. Process start date 14/04/2026 and it's now June 3rd. With no end in sight. No estimate time frame and my estate agent has just informed me that the solicitor has also failed to communicate with the vendor's solicitor on multiple occasions, despite multiple requests. I'm somehow supposed to believe that the contract I / we enter into has some legal legitimacy and secures us from potential issues. I can say with absolute confidence, that I have no confidence at all in this law firm. Incompetence, complacency, take your pick. They seem to be resting on the laurels of the simple fact that conveyance gets locked into mortgage applications. Apathy is rife. Avoid at all costs. Wish us luck.

Madison Comley, at Lyons Bowe, has been a fantastic introduction to Lyons Bowe for me, in the initial stages of my sale. Great communication and fast turn around. Many thanks. If the next steps are like this, I will be very happy to recommend Lyons Bowe, to colleagues in the industry.

As part of the National Wills Network I asked Lyons Bowe to help me prepared my will. Although this didn't involve a huge amount, as my will was a simple one, I found the team to be really very pleasant and efficient and things were wrapped up very quickly after a meeting with Tazmin. Would highly recommend, the only thing I found slightly out of kilter with the service as a whole, was the initial contact which resulted in 8 emails one after the other, with appointment information, documentation, registration etc - it felt a bit much!
