ABOUT lyons bowe
The Lyons Bowe Way
We have set out to do things differently by breaking away from the traditional high street model, but keeping the
personal, small business values that matter the most. We believe legal services should be clearer and more human.

Building a Law Firm That Works for Real Life
At Lyons Bowe, our vision has always been clear: to change how legal services are delivered to our clients, making them more human, more modern and truly built around people.
We specialise exclusively in Residential Property, Family Law, and Wills & Probate, because these are the moments that matter most to individuals and families: buying a first home, navigating a separation, planning for the future, or managing a loved one’s estate. These are not just legal matters, they are life moments. And they deserve a legal service that is clear, structured, and compassionate.
We believe that law should work for people, not the other way around. That is why we have built a firm where technology supports, not replaces, personal care. Where our team structure gives clients clarity, and our lawyers the time and space to do what they do best.
Everything we do is guided by our core values: innovation, ownership, and community. These values shape how we build our systems, support our staff, and deliver legal services that feel genuinely different. This vision is not just an idea, it is embedded in the way we work, the culture we have built, and the outcomes we strive for. Because we believe the best law firms are not defined by how many offices they have or how many cases they close, they are defined by how they look after their clients and how they make people feel. And at Lyons Bowe, we want our clients to feel supported, empowered, and genuinely cared for, every step of the way.
our values
The Lyons Bowe Way
how we support our people, and how we deliver legal services to every client who places their
trust in us.
Innovation
We are not interested in doing things the way they have always been done. From the way our teams are structured, to the technology we have developed, to the way we communicate with clients, innovation is at the centre of everything we do. We design systems that make legal services easier to access, more transparent to follow, and better to experience for our clients and for our staff.
Ownership
We believe that accountability is everything. Our people do not pass the buck. We take responsibility at every stage of the legal journey, keeping communication clear and outcomes on track. Whether you are buying a property, applying for probate, or finalising a parenting plan, we take ownership of your experience so that it feels supported, not stressful.
Community
We are proud of the impact we are making, not only in law but in the lives of those around us. From our Charity Will Scheme, which has helped pledge over £4 million to UK charities, to the apprentices and school leavers we train providing them with meaningful legal careers. We are always investing in the communities we serve. Because a great law firm should give something back and that starts with how we treat people.

Can I use Lyons Bowe even if I do not live near one of your offices?
Absolutely. Our conveyancing services are available nationwide. You can complete the entire process remotely using our app, digital forms, secure ID verification, and telephone support — or visit one of our ten offices by appointment.
Can you help if I am buying or selling a new build or auction property?
Yes. Our Residential Property team has specialist experience in new builds, Help to Buy, and traditional auction purchases. We will guide you through every step with tailored advice and fast turnaround times where needed.
What is conveyancing and why do I need a solicitor?
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one person to another. A solicitor ensures the transaction is legally sound, carries out vital checks, protects your interests, and helps you complete the process securely and on time.
First home schemes - what are they?
The best length to fix your mortgage depends on your individual circumstances, risk tolerance, and financial goals. Short-term fixes (2-5 years) may have lower initial rates but offer less long-term security. Longer-term fixes (5+ years) provide payment stability but might mean missing out if rates fall. Consider your financial situation and seek advice from a mortgage adviser.
How long should I fix my mortgage for?

Consider your financial situation and seek advice from a mortgage adviser.
What are the solicitor fees for buying a house?
We offer transparent fixed-fee pricing for most property transactions. You can get an instant, detailed estimate online with no hidden costs — giving you full clarity before you instruct us. Click on “Get Estimate”.
Can you deal with my related sale, too?
Definitely! However, when buying a new built you need to be aware that the buyers of your current property may not be comfortable with a completion on notice. You may want to consider “breaking the chain” i.e. selling your property before you complete on your new build. This may mean temporarily moving into rented accommodation.
Are property searches mandatory?
If you are purchasing your property with a mortgage, property searches will be a requirement of the lender. If you are a cash buyer, then property searches aren’t a requirement but we strongly recommend that you take out property searches and a survey. Together, these precautions will help to mitigate the risk of running into unsuspected issues later down the line.
What if my purchase falls through?
The Lyons Bowe Abortive Pledge covers your legal fees should your transaction fall through for any reason outside of your control. If your transaction falls through due to no fault of your own, your legal fees will be covered. All you will need to pay for is the disbursements you’ve already incurred up until that point (like searches) which will be outlined in your fee estimate.
How long does it take to buy a property?
Most property transactions complete within 8–12 weeks, but timings can vary. At Lyons Bowe, our structured teams, smart technology, and proactive updates help keep your transaction moving and avoid unnecessary delays.
