Fantastic experience working with David Meyer

Could not have been happier with our experience working with David Meyer! He was incredible thorough and maintained great communication throughout the process, helping us to feel informed and confident about the process as first time buyers. I would highly recommend David Meyer and BLJ solicitors!

Solid Support Throughout the Home-Buying Process

I used Bell Lamb and Joynson for the legal side of buying a house, and overall, I’m really satisfied with how things went. They handled the process from start to finish, and it all ran smoothly.

Communication was clear and regular — I always knew what stage we were at, and when I had questions, they got back to me without long delays. That definitely helped reduce some of the usual stress that comes with buying property.

The case was wrapped up quicker than I expected, which was a nice surprise. Everything was done professionally, without any unnecessary drama.

If you're looking for straightforward legal help when buying a house, I’d say they’re a good choice.

First Time Buyer!

Overall the experience was easy and the app made communication flow seamlessly throughout the process. As first time home buyers unfamiliar with the requirements, at times, responses could have been more explanatory and detailed but we got there in the end. We are very happy with the service and expeditious delivery! Thank you!

David was absolutely brilliant; he was proactive and guided us through the entire process. He helped us deal with very difficult negotiations with our sellers, and always remained cheerful and friendly. No hidden costs at any point, everything was upfront and clearly communicated. I'd use him again in a second, would highly recommend!

Thank you Chris & Olivia

Chris and Olivia have worked tirelessly these last few weeks, both to get me to completion before the 1st April and to also keep the whole chain moving forward with very difficult solicitors further up the chain. I will definitely be recommending them to friends and family for their efficiency, responsiveness and for BL&J being nearly £1000 cheaper than conveyancers recommended by my estate agents. Thank you!

I had the pleasure to work with Jim and Jeremy, an extremely professional pair of solicitors in which took upon a difficult challenge. I am incredibly grateful for how hard they worked for me, the results were better than expected. This is Thankyou to their knowledge and organisation- which in hindsight relieved me throughout my case. Also a huge mention to Samantha for being available and communicating well with me throughout.

Bethany Rose's experience...

I am extremely happy with the service provided by Claire Manning, as a first time buyer with no knowledge of the process she has kindly answered any queries I have had, and efficiently processed all documentation especially when I advised sellers wish to complete in a few days time, and I had provided some documents later than expected, Claire had everything sorted the next day. I would recommend this company to anyone on the back of my own experience. A daunting house purchase process was so much quicker and smoother than I expected, thank you Claire, Ruby and all of the team who have helped me buy my first property! 😊

No updates via email. Had to rely on husband to tell me what I needed to do to progress the works. This was due to email being inaccurately recorded, and despite being updated, I still did not receive updates.

Everyone at BLJ was exceptional with their work. We bought the house and completed a day before the new stamp duty charges came in and BLJ especially Claire and Jasmin worked so hard to make sure we made the deadline, they really are a credit to the company. Always available to talk on the phone and always with a friendly and informative manner. I will definitely be using BLJ again in the future if needed.
