Bower & Bailey - Solicitors Reviews 67

Kay Angwin has done the conveyancing for me on a number of properties I have bought and sold over the years. She is highly efficient. She keeps the process on track at every stage and always responds to queries promptly and professionally. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Joanne has acted for us on two house sales and one house purchase in the last year. She is very lovely to deal with and very efficient. I would definitely recommend her, and happily engage her services again.

Excellent service provided by Bower & Bailey. Both Victoria and Lindsey made our sale and purchase almost stress free. Very professional and always available to discuss any queries we had. Would highly recommend.

Victoria Bullard was excellent in supporting us throughout the process of a complex property sale. She was warm, professional and knowledgable, and capably addressed issues that arose. We are very grateful for the way she navigated the sale and achieved the outcome everyone wanted.

Connor White assisted me with the sale of my house. Unfortunately for him he had to pick up half way through a very difficult and complex sale, but fortunately for me he is incredibly skilled, and professional and comes with buckets of expertise, and most importantly patience. He took the time to explain everything to me in plain English which also came with the detail I required to navigate all the options. He is dedicated, responsive and worked incredibly hard to get the sale over the line. I couldn't be more grateful. Thanks again!

I recently used Bower Bailey Solicitors and dealt with Joshua Smith. He was very professional, calm and had great attention to every detail the whole way - and this did go on a long time! I felt very confident that he was doing the best he could for me under very difficult circumstances and will definitely be recommending him to my friends.

I recently use Bower Bailey in connection with a claim against my local doctor’s practice. Suzanne Dobbs was my solicitor, she handled my claim in a quiet, efficient, professional and competent manner and I would not hesitate to recommend this practice and her in particular.

We purchased a house and used Bower & Bailey as our solicitors and they were excellent.

Kay and her team were recommended to us a by friend, who were also recommended by their friends. We were so glad we chose to work with Kay, she was very polite, professional, and most importantly very quick to action everything. We had no chain and the purchase was completed in basically 3 months, it could have been quicker but we chose a later completion date because our notice period in the old property.

She was always happy to answer any questions we had as well.

We will definitely be going back to her when we decide to upsize in the future.

All in all, great company, great team.

Connor white had 2 weeks to carry out my remortgage with lendco before I was in default on my bridge. In the back of my mind I thought I was doomed....however Connor from day one was firing me emails and requirements of what was needed and actioned them quickly. I cannot be grateful enough for Connors urgency on the matter. He really went above and beyond. Id highly recommend the firm and Connor. Thank you

Ben was great, he has handled my home purchases several times and has always been very swift and knowledgeable

We were very fortunate to have Kay Angwin as our solicitor .
She was remarkably helpful and professional in facilitating the buying and selling of our property in Oxford.
In addition she facilitated the writing of our wills.
She also took care of other professional tasks for our family.
I found her a brilliant lawyer, always helpful, always kind and always there for us.
Her voice was always kind, cheerful, calm and helpful.
At the conclusion of this sale in Oxford which was very complicated and difficult we were pleasantly surprised that she also dealt with the financial side. I did not know she would take care of that too.
I was truly blessed to have her as my solicitor.
Thank you Kay Angwin from the bottom of my heart.

This is now the 4th time I have used Jo Dobson at Bower and Bailey in Banbury as my solicitor to sell a property, this was sadly as an executor of a will - yet again Jo has been an absolute rock throughout the transaction, managing our expectations and more importantly dealing with the buyers solicitors and the buyers expectations. Our estate agents have always been able to get hold of her and said she is great to work with too. Many thanks again Jo and team for a fantastic job well done.

I recently purchased two neighbouring flats, and Paul Brame was my solicitor.

What impressed me the most about Paul is his fairness and generosity. I came across Paul because he was on the panel of Fleet mortgage. I mass emailed all solicitors on the panel, and Paul was about the only person who offered a discount - in fact a quite handsome discount - for my second flat. This seems very fair, but other solicitors will charge me 2x despite the two flats are basically identical. At some stage, I was required to obtain independent legal council. Paul asked his colleague to speak to me, without charging me.

Paul's style is to accumulate answers to all enquiries and then send a long email, rather than sending many incremental emails. Thus, he may seem slow - especially at the beginning. However, he does often answer his phones, and if he is not available, he phones back the same day. He sometimes also responds before or after business hours.

Finally, Paul has good sense. During the last stage, the seller suddenly became quite. I was uneasy about it, and asked Paul whether I should still have my contractor coming out as originally planned. Paul noted that he is always optimistic, and that he would still have the contractor coming down as he suspects that the deal will complete within the next 2 days. Indeed, he is correct.

Overall, very satisfied.

We are a small local company who have used Bower & Bailey solicitors in Swindon for many years and have always had a great service from Eugene Murphy with various conveyancing matters. Recently we had a difficult litigation case we required help with and we were referred to James Hulme in their Oxford office.

James was an absolute delight to deal with and his skill, knowledge and professional manner really impressed us. Despite the fact that we were facing a huge multi-million-pound company, and the complex frustrating nature of the case, James was unfazed and steadfast in assuring we achieved the best outcome possible. He really was a superstar and we are extremely grateful we found him.

I am sure the important legal aspects are fine. However, having spent several thousands of pounds I expect better then to be greated by a receptionist munching away on chewing gum, multi tasking looking at menus on her computer and being engrossed on trash daytime TV. Also speaking to me and someone on the phone at the same time. A very poor impression. The munching was horrendous!

Kay Angwin is my' go -to' lawyer for all property related matters. Kay is very efficient, diligent and would address each concern detailing the covenants that you need to be aware and in line with your instructions. Very attentive and accommodates the clients needs to deliver an exceptional service. Thank you, Kay!

Do not touch this petty firm work only for money not service. They are happy to take the money when it suits, In spite of representing both seller and buyers solicitor and promised to be transparent and quick, they have hidden the fact of the property not having regulator approvals until the last min. when I pull out they charged 65.6 % of the price for a 45 mins face to face conversation. never trust these guys when they ask you to sign, read all the documents and don't fall pray for the words like " charged a fair percentage " they are money traps.

We recently instructed B&B over the purchase of a plot of land in Swindon and something very unusual happened. We received excellent service. Both Barbara Lovejoy and Mary Cutts were efficient, communicative and helpful. We’re all so used to poor service that when we get great customer service it almost comes as a surprise. I can’t recommend them enough.

I would highly recommend using bower Bailey solicitors, I have had the pleasure and professionalism of tanis guiding me through my recent court ordeal regarding a family matter I was a complete mess and a bag of nerves dreading court and what comes with it, but at every step she gave great advice whilst keeping my best interests at heart she knew exactly what I wanted and won me 50/50 and got me everything I wanted.The confidence and knowledge she came with not only won me this but made me feel so confident in the court process I knew from the very first phone call I had made the right choice in contacting these. The costs were transparent all the way along and in my eyes very fair given the wealth of knowledge that was made available to me and the expertise that came with it. Again I would highly recommend these to anyone.

Bower Bailey in Banbury, dealt with a family members estate. Efficient, caring and always friendly and ready to answer queries quickly and professionally. I would recommend them without hesitation. They are absolutely awesome. Period.
