We can't thank Katarina enough for her help & expertise with the sale of our property. There were some challenges getting the sale through but with her assistance & patience it went through as smoothly as it could.

A Happy Customer

I have used Lyons Bowe for several services so far; A Will, Declaration of Trust and currently for the purchase of our first house, and so far, I feel confident that I would also use them in the future if needed.
I have experienced first class customer service and prompt responses for all of my questions.
I have delt with lots of staff from many departments and they all have a wealth of knowledge within their roles.

Helpful, prompt and a great app. Sale fell through unfortunately but our costs were limited by the abortive pledge they offer. Will use again in the future.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support I received from my solicitor during the sale of my house. The communication was always quick, clear, and professional. I felt truly well taken care of throughout the whole process. I highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable and expert legal help – especially Lucinda Strydom. Thank you!

If I could give this company zero stars I would. Most horrendous company ever! I was selling my property and found out only through the real estate agent around the 5 month mark (!!) that the buyer’s mortgage deal would run out at 6 months and he would start renegotiating. I promptly inquired and was told ‘we’ll try to get it done’ and ‘we only need a few more things’. 6 months came around and silence. No communication. If you haven’t already figured it out, they didn’t get it done and the deal fell through.
They also gave out management company details to the buyer without my knowledge. (No explanation for that) Deliberately avoided calling me claiming she had ‘meetings’. Took no accountability and when I complained, the company didn’t see the issue. They claimed she had consistent contact with me.
I can’t warn people enough about them!! Find another firm. You’ll save yourself a lot of stress. I wouldn’t let these people write a will for my dog.

We’re in the process of buying our first house. Chloe was very patient with us and gave us help while we figured out what we needed to do. We have been getting updates every step of the way which has given us piece of mind during the whole process.

We would highly recommend Lyons Bowe solicitors for convencying needs. The app was really helpful when uploading your information. Their communication was great, their knowledge and experience saved us money and time. Laura and Abi were fantastic and made our move happen in 8 weeks !

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.

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.
