Professional service from start to finish

5

Jacqueline at JM Lewis handled all aspects of the conveyancing throughout our house move. This was a large chain and wasn't easy but she was always just a call or email away to help with any questions and guide us through to successful completion. I would definitely recommend JM Lewis to anyone thinking of moving house. Their costs are extremely competitive and the service is excellent. Jacqueline has helped us move to our dream home with ease and we are very grateful to her for that.

Jacqueline Byrd was brilliant in looking after me for the sale of my property. Every communication was responded to promptly and effectively. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Jacqueline to anyone.

But to let conveyance

5

I have dealt with a few of my own solicitors in the last 40 plus years, both buying and selling rented domestic properties. I have also been aware of the same number of solicitors, representing the other side. However, I have never been represented by such a pleasant, efficient and capable solicitor as Jaqueline Byrd at JM Lewis in Derby. Credit where it is due, well done Jaqueline.

Excellent service

I loved the fact I was always able to contact Jacqueline or a member of her team with any questions. Someone always got back to me very quickly. I was kept up to date with the progress of the sale. No issues and would recommend.

House sale

5

This is the second time Jacqueline has acted for me in my house sales, she is very approachable, keeps in touch with regular updates, both sales went through in just under 3 months, I have sold a number of houses in the past and I would have no doubts in recommending Jacqueline and her team.

Outstanding

5

Instructed John M Lewis to carry out the sale of my house, received outstanding service from my solicitor Jacqueline Byrd, she kept us updated and reassured throughout what can be a very challenging process and the sale was completed yesterday after a very short period of only around 7 weeks, will definitely use this company again in the near future to get me through a Land registry change of title on my new property,

Excellent legal services - I would highly recommend John M Lewis & Co

5

From initial contact through to contract exchange and completion the conveyancing services provided were excellent and extremely professional. I particularly liked the overall approach, whereby continual updates and reassurances were provided throughout the sales process. I would definitely recommend this solicitor to my family and friends and chose them again for any future legal services.

I was recommended John M Lewis by my estate agent and from the very first email I sent, they were prompt and honest with the replies.
Jacqueline was amazing from start to finish, answered all of my questions in a timely manor.
I have already given out recommendations for the services. Thankyou very much.

We have sold and brought a few properties over a 14yr period with JML and the service has always been friendly professional and efficient.
A special mention for Jacqueline who has been absolutely fantastic communicating and keeping us informed step by step. Her professionalism has been outstanding I only wish the buyers of our property had such an efficient lady such as Jacqueline working at their solicitors.
Plus a mention for receptionist Vanesa who is a lovely friendly lady to have on the front desk

I am such a big believer in good service being passed forward. My experience with this company has been nothing but excellent. When buying my first house, everyone warned me about “solicitor delays”. My solicitor, Jackie, was anything but a delay. She was extremely professional, thorough and efficient. At no stage was I unsure of anything and if I ever called, she was calling me back within a few hours. I found the price quoted to what I paid to be fair and well priced within the market. I honestly couldn’t thank her enough, she has been amazing through my house buying process and even when there were issues she was hellbent on making it work. Thank you so much to everyone in the team and I’ve really enjoyed my first few days in my new house knowing you’ve made it a lot easier and I will be passing on her details to anyone who is ready to buy a property.

Amazing service again by Wendy, Jacqueline and Team. I’ve used them twice within the year to both sell and purchase properties and in both cases they have been absolutely amazing, always keeping you updated and there to help at any point of the transition if you have any worries. Just BRILLIANT….

I would highly recommend J M Lewis & Co.

We worked with Jacqueline who managed the sale of our Derby property and purchase of our Bristol property. As we were renting in Bristol during the process, we assumed that the distance could potentially cause delays but we were keen to utilise John M Lewis as we had such a good experience with them when we bought our first home. The service offered by Jacqueline and the team soon put our concerns aside as a lot of the process could be completed via their secure portals online and they were always contactable via phone if required. We ended up in a tricky chain but thanks to the efforts of Jacqueline everything eventually ended successfully.
Overall, a friendly, efficient and professional conveyancers that I couldn't recommend more.

Excellent service from Mandy, Wendy and Jackie! We had an awful experience with another national conveyancer so swapped to John M Lewis. From day one they have been in constant communication and kept us informed every step of the way. We had a few hurdles come up which were dealt with and resolved very efficiently. I couldn't fault one aspect of our experience. Thankyou so much!!
