Professional, friendly legal advice

From my first phone call to the completed documents, we had a first rate service and experience. David Pugh was helpful and was able to clarify legal points making it easier for us to decide how to proceed. We cannot thank him and his team enough for making the preparing of our wills and LPA’s a smooth process.

Vanessa is very professional and knowledgeable, yet also friendly and considerate. Her proactive approach, always keeping us informed at each step of the process, was truly appreciated. She is an asset to your firm; we both have no hesitation in recommending Vanessa for any future legal work.

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

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!

A representative from Lanyon Bowdler LLP responded to this review

Thank you very much for the five star review and feedback. We will ensure Saffia and Heloise are made aware.

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.

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.
