Lanyon Bowdler were recommended to us to set up our wills and we are very glad we followed this recommendation. Sioned was very friendly, polite, efficient and knowledgeable and made the process simple and quick. Would highly recommend.

Friendly, helpful and professional

My previous will and the administration of my late husband’s estate was completed to my satisfaction two years ago by Lanyon Bowdler and I saw no reason to look elsewhere now. Angharad was friendly, helpful and professional throughout and explained everything fully to me and my executors. She went out of her way to complete work at short notice to meet our needs for which we were all most grateful.

These people are completely incompetent, my mother died over a year ago and I immediately went to them because her will was with them asking for them to help me sort out what was required, they immediately stated they couldn't help me resolve my issues regarding the probate, etc, making me go to a solicitor local to myself and now over a year later I'm still trying to get them to send the will and house deeds to my new solicitors and they are trying as hard as they can not to do this....!!! My brothers died, my sister is house bound due to a hernia and I am now at my wits end trying to resolve this a year after my mothers death with her care home hounding me for payment of their care fees... All I can say is avoid using these solicitors...!!!!

Thank you for your feedback. While we can’t address specifics here, we are actively dealing with your case and will be in touch directly to hopefully resolve matters.

Ryan Blanchard - conveyancing solicitor, excellent service.

Ryan Blanchard and his team from Lanyon Bowdler in Hereford recently dealt with the sale of my property. The entire process was far smoother than I had expected, and I was kept informed of the progress throughout. It was completed in a timely manner, even though it was not a standard house sale. I would recommend their services for being smooth, communicative, timely, cost effective and professional. Thank you Ryan, Karen and Stephanie for making the process so easy.

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.

Great place to arrange your will and Power of Attorney. From my initial enquiry the service has been excellent. David fully explained all options and went through the pros and cons. The whole team have been a pleasure to deal with. Many thanks 😊.

This company’s call-back feature was repeatedly used by someone else to harass me by entering my phone number without my consent. I received numerous unwanted calls and messages as a result, which caused considerable distress. I understand that the company did not intend this, but it reveals a serious weakness in how the call-back system operates. I respectfully urge the company to introduce verification steps or other safeguards to confirm consent before storing or using call-back requests. Without such protections, these systems can easily be exploited by others for harassment.
