Service from Boys & Maughan

I have dealt with Lauren Corrigan who has provided the Legal service for the sale of our property. Lauren has been a delight to work with. She has been so professional and efficient, providing us with a seamless step by step process through to completion of our sale. Many thanks Lauren

Excellent service

Despite the property sale taking nearly nine months, with a changeover of staff due to maternity leave, the solicitors’ service was professional, calm and efficient.

Sale of my mothers retirement apartment

Boys & Maughan had been recommended to me for the purchase of my mothers apartment several years ago. They were excellent so I immediately contacted the same solicitor from the sale, of which I was now acting as executer. Karen and her paralegal Lyndsey were so helpful and approachable. I found it was more like talking to a trusted friend when I needed advice or assistance with forms on queries. From start to finish they were a pleasure to deal with. I also found the fees very reasonable and they did not increase although from initial quote to completion was nine months. I would highly recommend.

Will advice plus Power of Attorney and documentation

I found Kat a very good communicator. She listened attentively and answered all my questions in language I could understand. The whole procedure was much simpler and less stressful than I had anticipated.
The accurate, completed documentation arrived promptly on the time predicted.
I would recommend this firm to friends and family.

Will writing made easy

My husband and I put off writing our Wills for many years as it seemed a daunting prospect. However, the process was very simple and Paula Patton explained very clearly our options, and gave us advice that suited our circumstances.

Anna was extremely helpful, she made the complicated and stressful process of buying and selling a house very smooth. She was reassuring, knowledgable and very efficient. We would definitely recommend Boys and Maughan and will be using them in the future if we ever need any further legal advice.

As an estate agent of 24 years I can honestly say Richard Durrant of Boys and Maughan is the best conveyancing solicitor In the industry by a country mile! I have worked with him on both a personal and professional level. His dedication to his clients and resolving issues that other solicitors would give up on is unrivalled. If you want your home sale or purchase to complete with as little stress as possible then Richard is your man. Thanks again Richard first class job as always.

We used boys & Maughan when we brought our first home, so naturally used them again when we sold and brought our next home. Fantastic company would highly recommend. Nothing is to much trouble and they always get back to you, even after working hours. Our sale and purchase was a tricky one to say the least but boys & Maughan was right there with us the whole way to completion. Thank you to Richard and Lauren highly professional and efficient.

We found the whole conveyancing process went remarkably smoothly. A key reason for this was the accessibility of our solicitor and the simplicity and friendliness that she bought to every communication.
