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

Excellent from start to finish

Tracey was knowledgeable and professional throughout the probate process. Following our family bereavement she handled all matters with care and sensitivity, explained everything clearly and kept us informed at every stage. Very pleased and grateful for everything she did to make things go smoothly for us.

Really good service all round

We were recommended this solicitor for our property purchase by my sister and the experience did not disappoint. The onboarding experience was smooth and easy. We were buying and selling a house at the same time. The portal was easy to use and allowed us to supply all information digitally. We were fully onboarded by Delanie Robinson and her team way quicker than other parties in the chain. Our main case handler Geraldine Van Zyl was always proactive and easy to reach when needed. She kept us calm when our chain was at risk of falling apart. Our completion was handled by Maddie Coles and she again was excellent at communicating with us about our final days before the move. Overall our experience with this firm was very positive and a breath of fresh air compared with the solicitors we used previously. All the pricing was transparent and fair and everything handled with a high degree of professionalism.

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.

We dealt with Toni-Marie, Jonas, Fane throughout, we thought the process was very well organised! Like a well oiled machine. Lyons Bowe have the right people in the right teams, I’d definitely use them again! It’s right what they say, you move as fast as the slowest solicitor in the chain! If only everyone used Lyons Bowe, everyone would complete much quicker! Thanks for everything.

Hi, Frazer. We appreciate the kind words and are glad we could provide you with a positive experience!
