Very good service

Selling our house was a complicated and challenging process. Lanyon Bowdler gave excellent service and were careful to ensure that every detail was taken account of. Telephone contact with the solicitor was very good, which isn't always the case these days. In her absence, her legal assistant was on hand to advise or pass messages on.

A very satisfying experience working with the Lanyon Bowdler team, Karen, Ryan and Steph. We were working to a tight timeframe but they pulled out all of the stops and ensured that the transactions were completed on time. Special thanks to Karen for her help in dealing with a very difficult and uncommunicative solicitor on our house purchase side.

Excellent Service

From the very first contact we had with Karen and her team we felt secure in knowing we were being looked after. The frustrations were from our buyers’ solicitors. I would like to thank you for an excellent service provided to us and would definitely recommend your services – THANK YOU!!

I’ve used Saffia Keegan twice now once for purchase and once for selling. I can’t believe how fast and efficient she is - I have dealt with other solicitors in the past with no response for weeks which can be really frustrating. Saffia and Heloise are both really quick to respond and just get to the point very quickly. She made the process so easy and everything was done online - no messing about back and forth with papers getting lost. In 2025 this is the way things should be done! Thank you so much Saffia & Lanyon Bowdler team. I will never use anyone else! Highly recommend 😊

We used Lanyon Bowdler for our house sale because we wanted a top quality service rather than to feel like we were lost in a pile of other house sales. Saffia Keegan gave us exactly this: She was proactive and communicative at all the right times, answered queries readily and quickly and we definitely recommend. A stress free process.

Highly recommend these solicitors. We have used them on a few occasions, and have just sold and bought a house with them. Everyone was friendly and efficient from the reception staff to the legal team. Everything was explained so we could understand the procedure and all went well.

I instructed Lanyon Bowdler to help sell my property earlier this year and have nothing but praise for them. From day 1, I felt that communication was clear, the sale progressed in a timely manner and I had full support throughout. Any questions that I had were answered quickly and at no point did I ever feel anxious or stressed. My Solicitor was Emma Jones who alongside, Legal Support Assistant, Chloe Thomas, both helped make this sale smooth and efficient. I cannot praise the two enough and would highly recommend Lanyon Bowdler for your conveyancing needs.

Thank you for your five star review. Emma and Chloe have been made aware of your kind words and say it was a pleasure to assist you with the sale of your property.

Excellent service and would thoroughly recommend Big thank you to Karen Bell for all her help and guidance during the conveyancing of our first home. From start to finish the process was very efficient, straightforward and we were kept well informed. Karen is very friendly, approachable and easy to speak to and as we were first timers, guided us through the process and explained everything very well. Thank you!

Family Law

Worth her weight in gold

I cannot recommend Sonali highly enough. Facing a divorce involving both financial and child arrangements, I felt completely out of my depth and unsure where to even begin. I had just two sessions with her at the start of the year: an initial consultation, followed by a second meeting to go through my questions in more depth. From the outset she listened carefully, took the time to understand my situation, and explained my options in plain, straightforward terms. Nothing felt rushed, and no question was treated as too small. Those two appointments have carried me through the months since. Her advice was clear, practical and grounded in sound judgement. It gave me the understanding I needed to navigate the quagmire of correspondence from the other party’s solicitor, and to respond with confidence rather than anxiety. Every reply I have sent has been underpinned by her guidance, and I have always known I was acting on solid ground. In a process that can feel overwhelming, she brought clarity and calm. She is worth her weight in gold, and I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a similar situation.

Helpful and professional legal assistance

I needed employment law assistance to help me deal with a process in work. The advice throughout the process was consistent and professional and resulted in a positive outcome. Without the assistance provided the outcome could have been very different.

As a first-time buyer, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but Saffia and Eloise at Lanyon Bowdler were amazing throughout the whole process. They were always friendly, patient, and happy to answer all of my questions, no matter how small. They explained everything clearly and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel much easier. I always felt supported and kept informed. I can't thank them enough for all their help and would highly recommend Lanyon Bowdler, especially to anyone buying their first home!

Have used this company three times. First time for a house sale and purchase and service was OK. Second time for advice on daughter's divorce. Paid £360 for a 30 min chat that was totally useless and unhelpful. Final and last time was for another house sale and purchase and experienced a mixture of carelessness and incompetence - wrong documents, wrong cost figures, wrong insurance policy sold etc etc.. Never again . Avoid

They were recommended by another solicitor for specialist probate work. They never returned my call, obviously not interested in new business at the moment. It would have been polite to just say they're too busy rather than promise to have a lawyer ring back then not ring.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, however, we are unable to trace a call from you. If you'd like to contact us via the number on our website, or by completing a form on the site, we will get back to you.
