My wife and I initially asked John Fowlers for a quote for conveyancing, following on from seeing an advert with the local football team and reading positive reviews.
The service was extremely responsive and friendly from the moment that we requested the prices. Our initial hope was to beat the stamp duty deadline and the solicitor allocated to our case (James) did absolutely everything within his power to push this through for us.
Despite a few setbacks which were outside of our control, Fowlers ensured that we were updated throughout the process and made us feel comfortable, reassured and confident

It really doesn’t get much worse than conducting local searches on the INCORRECT property address and not even noticing, even going as far as arranging exchange!
Yes this is what we have had to suffer at the hands of JF, our buyer unfortunately instructed them to do the conveyancing. We were given a deadline of several weeks for the local searches to come back, despite the fact the Local Authority had a turnaround time of just 2-3days. Still we waited patiently...
Fast forward several weeks to the day of reckoning and they claim searches are back, ready to exchange. Arranged this and applied

I would really recommend to use Lauren at John Fowlers LLP for selling/buying your property. We have used her twice now and both times the level of service has been exemplary. I doubt we would be in the property now if it wasn’t for Lauren’s great work & most importantly excellent communication throughout the whole process. Thank you so much.

I used John Fowlers services for litigation during my divorce process that took good 3 years to complete. Daren Vythilingum was my solicitor. We initially had to overcome children custody issues and then the financials piece. I have to say that the assistance I received allowed me to successfully navigate through these turbulent times and the professional advice could not have been better. I am very satisfied with the outcome and I would strongly recommend them for anyone having to go through this process.

We recently used the services of Ben and Sarah at John Fowlers Solicitors, to provide us with support for signing our first lease agreement.
Compared to the other solicitors we spoke to locally they were reasonably priced, extremely knowledgeable on the subject, and were also very human; putting all into Lehman's terms for us to understand as we were new to this.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for something similar.

From start to finish, the support, guidance and help throughout the process was brilliant. Karen acted in a highly professional manner and went above and beyond to ensure that I was comfortable and didn't feel overwhelmed at any point. The response times and overall knowledge was second to none. Honest and easy to understand throughout, approachable and cannot go wrong for employment law. Absolute excellent services and have no reservations recommending to anyone.

We reached out to this Solicitor, with the intention of instructing them to oversee the sale and purchase of our respective properties. We shared all personal information to the PA of solicitor Ami-Jane and was clear about our requirements. A quotation was subsequently sent out and then agreed by ourselves, before we then notified all external parties that we would be instructing John Fowler’s LLP. The quotation sent out, however was incorrect and the company have now come back to us today requesting another £150+VAT. When querying why this mistake had been made, there was no remorse by Ami
