    Poor & inaccurate communication, slow progress

    So far it’s been a very negative experience with Lyons Bowe. From initial issues recognising our deposit, to false information about the status of our checks (multiple times), timelines have not been stuck to at all. All other parties (mortgage, survey, sellers solicitors, estate agents, us as the buyers) have progressed quickly and everything continues to be held up by Lyons Bowe - being passed between hands and lack of accountability has also been very frustrating

    I like the portal as it’s straightforward and easy to use but more importantly the people at LB are helpful, friendly and efficient and l would use them again.

    Completion Solicitor was fantastic

    Our initial experience was not good, but once we moved over to the completion team we had a much better experience, this review is solely based on Josie Whiting and not our previous solicitor. Josie was fantastic, communicative and helpful.

    Dear Mrs Heath. Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to do so, I also thank you for your time today on the telephone. We are sorry that you did not feel your initial concerns were appropriately dealt with. I hope that the apology provided today was acceptable. I also thank you for the feedback left for Josie, that was very thoughtful Gemma Monday - Head of Property

    Slow, admin errors, website account error

    I was looking for an efficient local solicitor who I could trust to execute my Will and take the stress from my widow when the time comes. I paid by bank transfer early to show my intentions and speed the process. Days later a trainee solicitor finally called and we arranged for me to visit Frome office to sign the very simple Will. At the office I asked for a copy of my signed original - the office staff said the solicitor will send a copy later in day or next day. A week later - no copy had been sent then automated emails came through asking me to login and pay!

    James's experience...

    Too many different people dealing with the case and that meant that we didn't get responses and things fell through the gaps. For example the sale price was wrong on the contract weeks after this picked up and should have been corrected

      Fantastic from start to finish

      I can't fault Lyons Bowe at all from start to finish. It has been the most professional, speedy and easy experience for us. Each member of the team along the way has dealt with our move in the best way possible and made it the most stress free process for us. Any questions we had where we were unsure or wording was explained to us, all emails and calls responded to in such a timely manner and it's been a pleasure having them as our solicitors. Would recommend and 100% use again in the future.

      Our Estate agent recommended you - the process which became long winded due to delays caused by the buyers conveyancers was pleasantly dealt with throughout by Lyons Bowe keeping us updated quickly.

      Good except for chasing feedback, and having to wade through this site's terms and conditions and privacy policy.

      Professionally very good, however, chasing for feedback is a pain, and not appreciated. Don't ever do it again. If such a request is made in future, given the time necessary to read through and process the terms and conditions and privacy policy a charge of at least £220 will be levied.

      Huge thank you to Chelsea L, Alisha N, and Jay L for their hard work throughout our mortgage process! The process was structured and the team were thorough in their enquiries, and no surprise extra costs (without informing us first). Huge thank you to Jay for being so responsive and helpful throughout our exchange and completion process. Made the last hurdle feel much less stress-free!

      It was really easy to make a new will following the recent death of my husband. Lyon’s Bowe solicitors guided me at every step and I made a new will via a video link.
