We were very fortunate to have Kay…

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.Prof. and Mrs J Silver "

This is now the 4th time I have used Jo…

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.

Generous and fair solicitor

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.

Professional and friendly service from our go-to solicitors

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. Nikki Wetherill / Les ElmsDirectorsNovum Property Ltd

Very bad first impression

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

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!

Not transparent & certainly not a “no deal, no fee agreement” company

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.

Excellent friendly service

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…

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.
