Excellent service

Sorted out all the necessary arrangements and paperwork for granting probate for my late husband.
I was shown kindness and empathy which made it all a little easier to cope with.

First Class Service

We cannot recommend Saffia highly enough. She was absolutely exceptional throughout our house purchase journey. Saffia was proactive, highly responsive, and consistently kept the process running smoothly and efficiently. Both Saffia and Heloise were always available to promptly address any questions or concerns we had, providing clear guidance and reassurance at every stage. Their professionalism and dedication made a stressful process much more manageable. We are grateful for their support and would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable conveyancing solicitor.

Loosing your job is never an easy time especially when solicitors have to get involved. Gemma at Lanyon Bowdler was excellent throughout and did all the work for me regarding getting in touch with employers , HR etc. Nothing was to much trouble and i had a swift positive outcome. Recommend without hestitation.

First time home purchase

A fantastic service from start to finish. Gemma, Florence and Jennifer made the process so smooth and responded to all of our queries quickly. Gemma worked hard to meet our 4 week timescale for completion and we were more than happy with the service!

Commissioned Lanyon Bowdler to manage the probate process that was associated with my late father's estate. Sadly I had a very stressful experience. Poor communications, money was paid out to me that shouldn't have been which resulted in a financial mess for me. I really can't recommend.

Highly recommend these solicitors. We have used them on a few occasions, and have just sold and bought a house with them. Everyone was friendly and efficient from the reception staff to the legal team. Everything was explained so we could understand the procedure and all went well.

Excellent service and would thoroughly recommend

Big thank you to Karen Bell for all her help and guidance during the conveyancing of our first home. From start to finish the process was very efficient, straightforward and we were kept well informed. Karen is very friendly, approachable and easy to speak to and as we were first timers, guided us through the process and explained everything very well. Thank you!
