    excellent service

    This has been the second time that we have used Boys & Maughan as solicitors and we were not disappointed. The service was excellent, quotes competitive, communication always prompt and clear. I particularly appreciated that our solicitor always let us know well before if and when she was not available, and we always received speedy responses after her return.

    We recently used Boys & Maughan Solicitors for our property purchase and were assisted by Maddison and Averil. They were both incredibly attentive, helpful, and professional throughout the process. Communication was excellent — we always felt informed and supported every step of the way. Thanks to their efficiency and dedication, we achieved completion in just 9 weeks from the offer date, which is amazing! We’re so grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend Maddison at Boys and Maughan Margate branch to anyone looking for a smooth and stress-free experience

    Good solicitors but slow and felt like they didn’t have that personal touch

    A representative from Boys & Maughan Solicitors responded to this review

    Thank you for your feedback, Aaron. We are pleased that you felt we provided a good service overall, but sorry to hear that you found the process slow and impersonal at times. While we take pride in the many positive reviews we receive, we also recognise that not every matter progresses as smoothly as we would like. Your comments are appreciated and will help us to reflect and improve.

      Fantastic service, professional and efficient

      George was really professional and efficient. He explained things clearly, and followed up with all the points immediately after our first meeting which ensured a quick and smooth process. He was very easy to talk to and friendly too. Thank you George for making this experience easy and not stressful at all.

      We cannot thank our Boys and Maughan Canterbury office enough for the outstanding service we received, and in particular, Gemma has been absolutely amazing. Our house sale was completed in just 9 weeks — or effectively 7 working weeks due to Christmas, which is truly incredible and far beyond what we expected. Although Graham was our named solicitor, Gemma handled almost everything from start to finish, and she did so with incredible efficiency, professionalism, and care. Her communication was excellent, always prompt, clear, fast and reassuring and she made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. Gemma went above and beyond at every stage, chasing progress, keeping us informed, and ensuring nothing was delayed. Her dedication and attention to detail made all the difference, and we genuinely believe the speed and success of our sale are largely thanks to her hard work. We are so grateful for everything Gemma (and Graham) did for us and would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and outstanding conveyancing service. Thank you so much!
