As first-time buyers, we relied heavily on the advice and guidance provided throughout the process. The estate agent recommended Boys & Maughan, and we trusted that we would be kept informed and supported. Unfortunately, this was not our experience. Communication was the biggest issue for us. We frequently struggled to obtain clear updates and often felt left in the dark regarding the progress of our case. In fact, it appeared that the solicitor was not aware that our mortgage application had been declined until I contacted her regarding the fees being charged. This raised serious concerns for us about the level of communication and oversight throughout the transaction. The purchase did not proceed because our mortgage application was declined. While I understand that solicitors charge for work undertaken, it was disappointing to receive a bill of £594 for a transaction that never completed, particularly when we felt that communication and support had been lacking from the outset. What I found most frustrating was the handling of the repayment arrangement. After receiving the bill, I explained my financial circumstances and was asked what I could realistically afford to pay. I clearly stated that £50 per month was the maximum I could manage. However, rather than considering my proposal, I was informed that the balance would need to be paid in three instalments, with the first payment due by the end of the month. Despite my efforts to explain my situation, I did not feel that my concerns or repayment offer were properly taken into account. Based on my experience, I would encourage first-time buyers to carefully research all available options before choosing a solicitor and to consider firms that offer a genuine "no move, no fee" service for greater peace of mind if a purchase falls through. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Boys & Maughan based on my personal experience. This review reflects my honest experience as a client.

We were sorry to read your review. Although your purchase did not proceed to completion, our charge reflects the legal work that had already been undertaken on your behalf up to that point. Your comments differ significantly from the feedback we usually receive about Kimberley, which is consistently very positive. Indeed, this is the first negative feedback we have received about her service. It would not be appropriate to discuss the details of your matter or the subsequent payment arrangements on a public platform. However, we take your concerns seriously and, if you would like the matter to be reviewed further, you are very welcome to contact our Head of Department, Stephanie Power, at sap@boysandmaughan.co.uk

Kirsten and Georgina assisted us with our auction purchase. Kirsten was at hand to assist when ever we needed. As our first purchase at auction we were a little apprehensive but it was a joy having Kirsten and Georgina helping us!

Thank you for taking the trouble to post, Stuart, it is greatly appreciated and we have ensure Emily sees your review.
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!
