Made a stressful job into a pleasant job!

Tony helped me with the sale of my late Fathers' property. It was a complex stressful task but Tony was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and supportive during the process and worked to deadlines that suited both myself and the buyer. Emails were answered promptly and I was able to visit the offices quickly when needed. Thank you for your help.

Exceptional Legal Support from Sophie Batten and Sarah Winton

We recently had the pleasure of working with solicitor Sophie Batten and Legal Secretary Sarah Winton, and I cannot speak highly enough of the outstanding service they provided whilst purchasing our home. From start to finish, their professionalism, efficiency, and kindness made our legal experience not only bearable but genuinely pleasant.
Sophie Batten demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise in her field. Her legal acumen, attention to detail, and dedication to our case were evident throughout the entire process. Sophie's ability to navigate complex legal matters with ease and provide clear, concise explanations ensured that I felt confident and well-informed at every stage. Moreover, her prompt responses to our inquiries and proactive communication showcased a commitment to client satisfaction that truly sets her apart.
Equally commendable is the invaluable support provided by Legal Secretary Sarah Winton. Sarah's efficiency and organizational skills were instrumental in keeping our case on track. Her responsiveness and ability to manage the administrative aspects of the process allowed for a smooth and seamless experience. Sarah's friendly professonalism and willingness to go above and beyond in addressing any concerns added an extra layer of comfort and assurance.
Together, Sophie and Sarah make an unbeatable team. Their collaboration ensured that our legal matters were handled not only with the utmost professionalism but also with genuine care for our well-being. The speed at which they worked without compromising the quality of service was truly impressive.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Sophie Batten and Sarah Winton to anyone seeking legal assistance. Their combined efforts exceeded my expectations, and I am grateful for the ease and confidence they brought to what could have been a stressful situation. Without hesitation, we will be suggesting their services to family and friends, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with them again in the future should the need arise.
In summary, if you're seeking a legal team that is not only highly competent but also compassionate and dedicated to client satisfaction, Sophie Batten and Sarah Winton come highly recommended. Their professionalism, speed, and kindness make them a standout choice in the legal field.

Best of Wishes,
M & W

Sale & Purchase of property

We are so glad we chose Boys & Maughan to handle our recent sale and purchase.
They were very efficient, 12 weeks from on the market to moving in, keeping us updated along the way.

Everyone at the Broadstairs branch worked as a team, guiding us on what we should be doing.

Thank you

Professional Service

Got the Job done, in a helpful, friendly manner. Returned phone calls/emails same day. Have had a poor experience with a different solicitor, in the past - so was great to have the knowledge, the selling of my property was in safe/capable hands.
Have used them again for purchase of a property and would highly recommend.
