Selling and buying property

We have been very impressed from start to finish ,we felt we could contact each department and if they were busy they would always get back as soon as they could.
We didn't feel there were any hidden fees and having there offices in Shepton Mallet we were able to take our signed documents so we didn't have to rely on the postal service to get them there .
We have found all the team polite and friendly and knowledgeable and kept us calm in what is a very stressful time,they made sure our house we found a bit later than the rest of the chain was completed on the same day .

Great service

Lyons Bowe have been great from start to finish, the whole process was as pain free as something as cumbersome as selling a house can be.

Tietia was additionally a massive help, always easy to get in contact with and quick to respond, keeping us posted on important details that were time sensitive to make sure we didn't miss anything due to a missed call etc.

Overall highly recommend

A bit disappointing

The company wants you to use a portal and so I had to specifically ask to get documents by email.

Some of the emails were standard/automated rather than bespoke emails.

The staff were friendly and responded to emails quickly. However, I thought the approach was over zealous and I found it quite a painful experience with a lot of "to and fro". It's important to remember who's the customer in this process.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't use them in the future and I wished that I should have used my local solicitors.

We have recently sold our previous home and purchased a new home using Lyons Bowe and would highly recommend them. From start to finish they have made what can be a very stressful process feel easy to understand and straightforward. We had a great experience working with the team who were friendly, very responsive and were willing to answer any questions we had throughout the process. They were also really great at chasing up other solicitors in the chain. We also really liked the app that was available, as this helped us to see what progress had been made and what our next steps would be. We were also provided with useful information proactively at each stage. The team we worked with were extremely professional too. We would like to give a particular mention to Jennifer and Alex. Jennifer was our contact within the legal team, and was absolutely brilliant throughout the entire process and really kept us in the loop, explained things well. Alex in the exchange and completions team helped get the sale and purchase over the line and also communicated with us really well, was very friendly and professional. We would absolutely use Lyons Bowe again and would recommend! Thank you

Fantastic experience, cannot recommend highly enough!
As first time buyers, the whole process was rather overwhelming for us but we dealt with Macy, Liandi and Faine who were all brilliant and could do enough for us. Communication was fantastic and they processed everything as quick as they could, even with some challenging and frustrating situations from the sellers solicitors. Thank you all for your help. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with the Legal Team during my property purchase, thanks to the outstanding work of Aansa Hussain. Aansa was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient throughout the legal stage. She ensured all documents were handled promptly and accurately, keeping me informed and reassured at every step. Her clear communication and attention to detail made the process smooth and stress-free. Aansa was always approachable, quick to respond, and guided me through complex legal matters with ease. I’m truly grateful for her support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aansa Hussain to anyone needing reliable legal assistance when buying a home.

About this branch

Description

When we set up Lyons Bowe in 2014, we were driven by a mix of frustration and desire. Frustration at the number of firms that didn’t share the values that we felt were most important and our desire to give clients the kind of service that you told us you wanted. Our core values underpin our entire service and lie at the heart of everything we offer. As a modern law firm, we pride ourselves on representing these core values – both in what we do and how we do it.
