The best conveyancing experience I have ever had. Not only will I request Anna's help with any future houses purchases or sales, I will be recommending her to all friends and family who need such help in the future.

Purchase of our house with boys and Maughan

Anna worked with us throughout the purchase of our house which was a fairly long drawn out process due to it being a private sale, but Anna stayed on top of the paperwork and making sure we knew what was required of us and chased the sellers side when needed.

We have used Lauren for 2 house sales/purchases now, and the process has been made effortless by her services. She is always extremely quick to reply, friendly and informed, and moves the process along at speed. I would highly recommend her.

Lauren at Boys & Maughan

Lauren initially helped me with a planned purchase of a new build flat, but after numerous delays from the homebuilder, I opted to exit that deal and buy a house. Lauren helped me navigate all that calmly and efficiently, enabling me to complete on the house purchase just before the increase in stamp duty, which was greatly appreciated. I'd highly recommend Boys & Maughan and Lauren in particular.

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.
