Residential purchase
Rachael McClean was assigned mine and my partners first property purchase. Wow what an amazing professional. Rachael managed the process from start to finish in such a friendly & professional manner. Rachael kept us informed every step of the journey and dealt with any issues or queries straight away. We could not recommend Rachael & BLJ highly enough - I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me through such an important purchase. Highly recommend

*A**** service from Erin!*
Fantastic service was provided from start to finish. Erin gave us sound legal advise and instilled confidence in us from the beginning. Would highly recommend and would have no hesitation having Erin as my representative in future purchases.
Thanks and all the best

House purchase
BLJ have been very efficient with sorting out everything for our move, it was done in a timely manner and there were no problems getting everything done, making thinks nice and smooth for us! The only problem was trying to speak over the phone, however using the chat was easy enough, the app is a great way to keep updated with everything going on.

Bell Lamb and Joynson were brilliant at conveyancing for our recent house move. There were a couple of communication hiccups towards the end but it was swiftly sorted out. Olivia Andrews and Erin Duffy were both really helpful and explained anything I was confused about.

I had some issues with BLJ throughout the conveyancing experience especially with regards to email communication and attention to details. We had huge communication issues which almost rendered the purchase a failure.

Unfortunately in this occasion communication was poor, and for a simple house sale it took 6 months to tell. We won't be using your services again.
