    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

    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.

We are sorry that you did not feel your initial concerns were appropriately dealt with. I hope that the apology provided today was acceptable.

    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

      Flat purchase

      Generally a good experience. The money laundering interrogation (as a cash buyer), which seemed to go on for ever, was really annoying but probably would be the same anywhere.

      ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Service from Start to Finish I cannot recommend this firm highly enough. They handled both our property sale and purchase, and the service throughout was absolutely first-class. Communication was excellent, everything was dealt with promptly and efficiently, and their knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail were second to none.At every stage, we felt informed, reassured and confident that everything was being handled properly. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the whole process was made as straightforward and stress-free as possible.It’s refreshing to deal with a firm that delivers such a consistently high standard of service.Quite simply, top drawer in every respect. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to anyone buying or selling a property.A thoroughly deserved five stars!

      Eva at Lyons Bowe Solicitors helped us getting a will sorted. She was very good and made everything so easy. We were able to sort this out over a Teams call which made everything much easier. I would definitely recommend as this company was local to us so we could pop into the office if we needed to.
