Giving cash to children can be time consumming.

Although not a direct customer whilst giving cash to children as a gift to help buy a house, it can be time consumming, due to having to provide all its sources and copies of bank statements. LYONS BOWE SOLICITORS chased for each element so that they met the Money Laundering Regulations. The time taken was not warned about but the staff where professional and courteous.

Onboarding - Fine. The rest - Terrible.

Our solicitor was slow and didn't communicate very well. It lead us to withdrawing from the purchase of our property because we just had enough. We had recommendations that Lyons Bowe were good solicitors, but maybe we were just unlucky.
We had lots of questions regarding our lease terms and it took weeks to get any answers which were often not explained, unclear or forwarded to the seller's solicitors who were also of no help.
Documents, links and other attachments were often sent and not explained. This was unclear and regularly lead to missing things despite our diligence.

Lyons Bowe and the team were able to smoothly support the sale of my house. The online platform made it easier to track progress and required documentation. Communication with the different solicitors was on the whole good, the compleation felt a little rushed, but I doubt these things happen without their challenges. I would work with Rhea, Nompilo & Michelle again.

I recently used Lyons Bowe Solicitors and had the pleasure of working with Holly as my point of contact. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Holly was professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient—she kept me updated throughout the entire process and made everything feel smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for better support. I highly recommend Lyons Bowe and especially Holly for anyone needing reliable and top-quality legal assistance.

Holly's experience...

Very frustrated with the service we received- you are not allocated 1 solicitor but instead passed across 3 different teams and get someone different replying to you every time. They have been very slow to respond to emails- even on the week of exchange which has made the whole process of buying our first property quite stressful.

Our experience with initially Elle and then Emma were a pleasure, they were both extremely helpful at all times. We were constantly impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. We felt confident throughout the whole process and would recommend to friends and family.

A very disappointing service, with a few exceptions such as Lauren.

Some shocking mistakes made by both a solicitor and legal assistant(s).

More solicitor contact, with continuity, would be one improvement.

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.
