    Simply the best!

    After losing our mum we had her property to deal with which resulted in a sale/purchase within the family. Katarina was so thoughtful of our situation and dealt with the transaction meticulously. She kept in touch at every point and made sure we were completely happy at every stage. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely use Katarina again. Thank you.

    Lyons Bowe are working for us to complete a sale and purchase. The communication between the different teams, solicitors and with us has been fantastic. They are on top of things all the time and have kept us informed at every step. They are a friendly and informative team. Nothing is too kuch trouble. I would highly recommend them. They have also helped us with a deed of trust and will possibly help us with our wills too. Will continue to use them.

    Hi, Peggy. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!

    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!

    All very helpful up until now. Does seem to be a lot of duplication between solicitors and estate agents. Perhaps find a way to make this slicker.

    I would like to express my sincere thanks for the excellent way in which you handled the administration of my step aunt's estate. The matter was dealt with professionally, efficiently and with great care throughout. Your clear communication and attention to detail made what could have been a difficult process much easier, and I am very grateful for the support and guidance provided. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to others.

      Lyons Bowe was extremely helpful and efficient for our first home purchase. I would like to mention that Holly Inglis and Ally Hardy were both especially helpful and made the process smooth and quick! Alex Smith also made our exchange and completion go smoothly and made us feel confident throughout!

      We appointed Lyons Bowe for the sale of our property, even though they are not local to us. I've been really impressed so far. The app is great once you get used to it. It enabled me to fill in all the house sale info and scan in my documents using my phone. We've not had to visit an office at all so far as signatures have been written electronically. Prerana, the legal assistant assigned to our sale, has been brilliant. Very efficient, responsive, proactive and quick to get things moving. We're now moving on to the legal team for the next stage so hopefully our experience will continue to be excellent.

      I have had an excellent experience with Lyons Bowe Solicitors throughout my first home purchase. A special thank you to Isharani Punchihewa for her professionalism, patience and excellent communication. She kept me informed at every stage, answered all my questions promptly and made the whole legal process much easier to understand. I would also like to thank Holly Inglis and the rest of the Lyons Bowe team for their support and professionalism. From receiving my mortgage offer, dealing with enquiries, preparing the documents for signing and progressing my purchase towards exchange, everything has been handled efficiently and clearly. Buying a first home can be stressful, but the team has made the process much smoother. I have always felt well informed and supported throughout. I would highly recommend Lyons Bowe Solicitors to anyone looking for a professional, reliable and friendly conveyancing service. Thank you all for your hard work!
