Feb 05,2025We used Lyons Bowe for a flat purchase. They communicated effectively by email and it was also good to be able to go into the office if required. We dealt with 3 members of staff as we moved through the process and all responded quickly to our queries.

Feb 05,2025We used Lyons Bowe through Will Aid. From start to finish the service was excellent and options were clearly laid out and communicated well. Would recommend to others looking to create a will.

Feb 04,2025We found Lyons Bowe Solicitors when searching how to do our will during Will Aid month. They responded very quickly and organised an appointment. The person speaking with us was lovely and our wills were drafted super quick. The firm then ensured everything was sorted after. This was our first experience dealing with our wills and they made it very easy overall. I am very thankful that they participate in Will Aid!

Feb 04,2025This is the second time I have used Lyons Bowe. Both purchasing a property and selling a property has been flawless through this company. Every step of the way they have kept us updated. Ada Wojciechowska, the New Instruction Legal Assistant, answered all our emails within a very short space of time and was very efficient. Can not recommend Lyons Bowe enough

Jan 31,2025The Lyons Bowe tagline is 'Innovative, Reliable, and Client Focused'. I'm afraid they checked none of these boxes in my matter (a property purchase as a first time home owner). I will give credit to the New Instructions and Legal Team who were efficient and responsive. However, the wheels fell off when my matter was transferred to the Exchange and Completions Team. Here is a summary of the comedy of errors that added unnecessary stress and inconvenience to my transaction: 1. In the lead up to exchange I wasn't told when to pay my deposit or how much should be paid. 2. I was given incorrect banking details - their accounts state in bold red letters to pay only to the account mentioned in the Welcome Pack. Those proved to be out of date. 3. Only after some chasing was I told on the day of exchange what I was meant to do. The result was that exchange was missed and occurred a day late. 4. I was given incorrect advice about buildings insurance when phoning in. 5. I first requested my completion statement on 8 Jan. This was provided on 24 Jan around midday. This was only one clear business day prior to completion which put my purchase at risk of not completing as prior arrangements needed to be made with my bank. 6. I was overcharged stamp duty by £8700!! Given the time pressure I was under (thanks to LB) I paid the amount stated as being required in my completion statement, trusting that my solicitors would not make as elementary a mistake on the amount of stamp duty due. While my purchase did complete on the intended day, Lyons Bowe was inattentive and fostered in me no trust that they had things under control. They were recommended to me by the estate agent and I have told them about my experience in the hopes that others will be directed to more reliable solicitors. I am myself a solicitor, so was especially disappointed by the service I received. Poor show.

Jan 31,2025Very grateful for a smooth and efficient service in refreshing our will recently. Helpful and friendly staff, and regular contact to ensure we provided the information correctly. Absolutely no issues at all, and to receive that service in association with Will Aid for the cost of a charity donation is exceptional. Thank you to all concerned.
Ashley Goodridge
Jan 30,2025Excellent company with amazing communication. Pretty much a smooth seamless house sale and buy with Lyons Bowe. Not much to complain about if anything! Everything got done to a high standard, communication was excellent. Definitely worth the money you pay which is very reasonable as well.

Jan 28,2025I would highly recommend avoiding these solicitors at all costs. The sales/upfront team that handle the initial enquires are friendly and really do go out of there way to help, however once you’ve instructed, it all goes down hill. They couldn’t even get the basics right for me, constantly getting my name wrong, even after emailing me confirming they had correct it! The portal is very cumbersome and manual, and the abortive fees don’t actually cover you, if your sale falls through. They then charge additional admin fees for the use of their online portal. I paid £800 on account on Saturday 4th January, of which our buyer pulled out on Monday 6th, so I instantly told them pause proceeding and hold off. Having paid the optional abortive fees, of which I would expect to have lost, instead they’ve ended up charging £348, only refunding me £452.

Jan 22,2025We have used Lyons Bowe to write our wills. This was first time ever we needed to use solicitors, so we needed lots of guidance and hand holding. Lyons Bowe were excellent through the whole process, proactive, professional and re-assuring. I would definitely use them for any future legal dealings.
