We can’t emphasize enough to find someone else
We recently had a really frustrating experience with Lyon's Bowe Solicitors. Trying to get a simple query resolved felt like navigating a maze – passed from person to person, each seemingly less informed than the last. The lack of clear communication was a major issue; we constantly had to chase them for updates, and it felt like pulling teeth to get any information. On top of that, they often left us in the dark when it came to dealing with the management company and the seller's solicitors, causing unnecessary worry and stress. Even on the day we were supposed to exchange, they suddenly needed another document and then went silent, leaving us in the dark all day. To make matters worse, the advice we did receive often seemed vague and not tailored to our specific situation, making us question their expertise. Honestly, we expected a much higher level of professionalism, clear guidance, and efficiency, especially considering this process has dragged on for over 9 months, even with no onward chain. And to top it off, they kept adding significant charges onto the bill, which felt completely unjustified. Seriously, if you need solicitors, We can't emphasize enough that you should find someone else.

We were totally in the dark about how to make out our wills , but thankfully Georgina guided us through the process with her expertise and knowledge to make it a totally stress free process - would highly recommend Lyons Bowe solicitors .

Very thorough
Great for my house sale and onward purchase. They picked up two critical issues with my purchase which were then resolved before completion. Not the cheapest, but totally worth the money.

Mirror Wills Process…
We have had Mirror Wills drawn up by Lyons Bowe and have been extremely pleased with the process. The Teams meeting with Andrea was clear and informative and friendly and she has been more than willing to answer any questions we have had, by email, throughout the process. We have also had dealings with Imogene who was also very professional.

Excellent communication
From the start of our purchase to the end communication was frequent and clear. Lily and Jenna were very friendly and we did not have to chase for updates at all.
We really liked the fact that Lyons Bowe have their own app, so you can see exactly what needs to be done and receive notifications as soon as there is an update. I cannot recommend Lyones Bowe enough.

Professional, Efficient, and Truly Fantastic
We cannot thank Finn enough for the incredible support provided during the exchange and completion stage of our sale and purchase. This is often the most stressful part of the entire process, but Finn handled everything with absolute professionalism, efficiency, and calm reassurance.
Communication was clear, prompt, and thorough throughout. We were kept fully informed at every step, and any questions we had were answered quickly and in a way that made everything easy to understand. Finn’s attention to detail and proactive approach ensured that both our sale and purchase progressed smoothly and completed without issue.
What really stood out was Finn’s dedication and commitment - we genuinely felt that our transaction was in the safest possible hands. The level of organisation and coordination involved at exchange and completion was handled seamlessly, which made a potentially overwhelming experience feel completely manageable.
We are extremely grateful for the outstanding service and would not hesitate to recommend Finn to anyone buying or selling a property. Utterly fantastic from start to finish.

A really good experience
This was a really good experience and the cost very reasonable. Rhiannon produced mirror wills for us and was very professional, helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. She took great care making sure we understood all the documentation and we would not hesitate to use Lyons Bowe again.
