Where do I start? I have used this companies conveyancing services a few times, the first being fairly satisfactory. However, I can only describe the service received after this as little short of a bismal. The whole experience from communication to initiative was none existant. I would wait weeks for small doses of information and even then I would have to call in to obtain this. When making contact with the office, there was little enthusiasm from the staff and at times I thought I was connected to a funeral directors.
I had no choice but to outlay an additional 100 during the third time of using Kay Boswell as land registry documention organised by Peter Lothian, conveyancer, was sent to an incorrect address not known to myself adding on many months of awaiting replacement documentation. They are slow, unfriendly and not particularly professional. They are cheap to use which is shown in the service, as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. My advice avoid and pay extra for a decent law firm.

Just completed on a leasehold sale and purchase of a new build property, and K. Boswell Solicitors have been brilliant! Peter was very responsive to all enquiries and pushed to get things moving in a timely manner. I would definitely contact Peter again if I needed a solicitor in the future. Great receptionists too! Thank you

I sold my house and bought my new house through K Boswell & Company. I have got to say they were very good value for money, responsive to all of my issues and Mr Lowthian who did my conveyancing was a pleasure to deal with. Thank you very much for all of your help. Highly recommended!

Now in the process of using K Boswell (specifically Mr Lothian) for a third time for conveyancing. They came recommended originally, and we have since recommended Peter to everyone we know, many of whom have used them. Absolutely top notch - Peter is so responsive, thorough and friendly. Even today on a small issue we were put straight through to speak to Peter who took the time to go through in detail. Would not hesitate to recommend. It helps that the price is very competitive but honestly, we would pay much more and still be happy. Thank you!
