A process that is a difficult one to navigate as other sources not providing you with the correct information. But then made easy with the team at Boys and Maughan, Jonathan and the team endeavoured to do the whole process which me and my ex wife Caroline are grateful for- thank you.

Professional service

This was the last of three sales from my late sister's estate. Emma has provided excellent support throughout. This transaction was protracted due to the management company but all resolved in the end.

Amazing knowledge and suport.

From the initial phone call seeking support, to the end of where I was able to use their service, I felt I was in the best hands in an awful situation.
I was able to email or call in with concerns questions, usually answered the same day.
Was spoken to with respect and care, and In plain language. Nothing was too much effort and I felt very secure in the knowledge I had the best team behind me.
I am so glad I rang, having 2 years of service and support all told.

Many thanks!

Outstanding is the only word we can use to describe Anna's dedication to her clients and her pursuit of successful results. This is the second time Anna has looked after us; we hope not the last.
We cannot emphasise enough how her professionalism and attention to detail enhance her service.

Can't Fault Boys & Maughan

We did approach other solicitors for pricing but like before came back to Boys & Maughan. We knew we would but wanted to check options out.

We can't fault any part of their work for us, it was like dealing with friends who had the best outcome to heart for us. It literally feels like a relationship finishing when we finally have to say thank you and goodbye - superb firm!

I have been using Boys & Maughan for Private Client matters for around 20 years, but this was my first Litigation.

George Orton's advice was superb from the outset. He clearly laid out all the pros and cons for me to be able to make a balanced judgement as to my best course of action, both in time and financially.

Absolutely brilliant solicitors. Communicated throughout the process of the sale of my property. I needed a quick sale and they were more than happy to accommodate. I even sold my property sooner than I expected!

Richard Robinson was appointed to help sell my flat. I knew starting that it wasn’t going to be a simple process as a similar flat in the same development had been going through the sale process starting around 9 months earlier and had not completed.

Richard was very good a giving me regular updates, replying to emails and calls and explaining what the technical terms meant. We did run into significant road blocks along a way around a unresponsive management company where both myself and Richard chased up managing to get the required information where the other mentioned flat was not able to.

This would’ve been a 5 star review however after exchange and the day before completion Richard informed me that the help to buy equity loan side had been overlooked and not completed. I was able to get a valuation carried out the next day and Richard chased help to buy customer service as was able to complete just a day late. Richard was very apologetic and reduce my legals fees by a fair amount in compensation unprompted.
