Long and Complex But Finally Happy

It's been a long Conveyancing process in part due to the property being a partitioned 1870's Shared Freehold flat with a Lease, in part due to the end on April 1st, 2025 of the Stamp Duty Land Tax holiday, with higher percentages kicking in, which caused a rush to buy ahead of this date and a glut on Conveyancers desks.

But as I say All Is Good that Ends Well and my best appreciation for the terrific job being done by Boys & Maughan's solicitors and aides, with huge patience vis-a-vis us Buyers agonies, huge lists of queries, and misunderstandings due to our ignorance.

A pleasure and we will recommend your services.

Thanks forever.

Over two years and we're still waiting.......

I was employed in the legal profession for 25+ years.
My small residents society in Wye, Kent employed this company to oversee the transfer of a small piece of land from the builders to our said company. This was in 2022 .....well over two years later we are still waiting for this task to be completed.
Dividing the bill by the cost per hour shows that ten hours work have been performed.
Emails have gone unanswered, constant delays, paperwork brough to the company by me (as requested) were then lost by the solicitor in question who failed to tell me that it had been lost until I chased him up a month later and finally the builder's own company of solicitors were blamed for the hold up.
I then sent a strongly worded email to my residents group and the solicitor and hey presto, the said paperwork turned up the following day.
I will leave you to decide if you employ this company.

A representative from Boys & Maughan Solicitors responded to this review on 08 April, 2025:

We regret that our services have not met your expectations. It would be inappropriate to address your concerns on this public platform, and we encourage you to contact us directly. For the benefit of those reading, this multi-party transaction has involved some complexity, and we believe the comments presented do not accurately reflect the quality of our services.

Sale of my late fathers house

We received excellent prompt service. When queries about the property arose and threatened to hold up the sale they were dealt with swiftly and effectively.
Very flexible regards how communication is conducted, via e-mail, phone and in person. Very personable but professional style.

Solicitor, Victoria Simpson is an excellent conveyancing solicitor. She has been my solicitor for a number of years and completed several conveyancing matters for me. I followed her from her previous practice because she is very conscientious, expeditious and approachable.
I can't really comment on the company itself but I would definitely recommend Victoria for conveyancing.

As a first time buyer i had no idea of the process and what to expect. But everything from start to finish went very smoothly, there was an issue with the developers which caused a hold up of purchase but i was kept informed of progress at every step and completed in good time. I cannot thank Victoria and her team enough for their expertise. i would highly recommend.
