    Wet happy with services provided

    We have used Bell Lamb & Joynson since 2007 for multiple house purchases and sales, and they have always been professional, efficient, and fairly priced. A special thanks to Claire Manning and Jasmin Blythin, who are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and ensure every transaction runs smoothly. Their clear communication and attention to detail make the process stress-free. Their mobile app provides real-time updates, and they also call you personally, keeping you informed every step of the way. I wouldn’t trust anyone else—highly recommended!

    Review of sale of Property, WA11

    From the start, Jasmin Blythin and Claire Manning have been professional and yet human in their correspondence with myself during the sale of the property. Always prompt and clear in communication, no unnecessary "legal speak" to confuse the matter. Email was very prompt and understandable all the way through the process. Many thanks to them and the company for doing this. This was the first time dealing with property and they put me at ease at an early stage. The timing has been great so we have less to worry about over the Festive period and the buyers got their wish and are in their new house before Christmas. Thanks again to all the team and people involved.

    Wendy Christine's experience...

    Initially impressed with the portal but soon realised that the responses are slow and are holding responses not action driven. No clear updates on what is outstanding or what needs to be sorted by who. Difficult to get hold of the solicitors by phone or portal. 48hrs SLA to respond to messages but still waiting following this. The process of buying a house is outdated and needs to be more streamlined. The statement for our mortgage was not requested in a timely manner as one example, SLA not known by the solicitor which was 48 hrs not 24hrs which delayed the sale. Informed by solicitor it was requested on Monday but when I called First direct it was only requested on Tuesday with 48hr leadtime. The statement is valid for 30 days. Why would you not have requested this earlier? Nothing seems to be streamlines at all with no clear communication with Seller at all.

    Michael Andrew's experience...

    The 7 month wait wouldn’t of been so bad if it wasn’t for the request of a payment from me the day I was due to get my keys reference a maintenance fee that had been paid in advance by the previous owner.

    from Bell Lamb & Joynson

    Thank you for your feedback, Michael. We apologize for the frustration caused by the seven-month wait and the last-minute request for the maintenance fee. We understand that receiving financial requests on completion day is far from ideal. We will review this with the team to improve how we communicate these requirements in the future.
