Excellent professional support with Will preparation

"My Wife and I have been considering having our Wills prepared and met Melissa Hughes at BLJ towards the end of April. Dealing with this really important matter is never straightforward and we were naturally anxious. There was no need, however, as Melissa was very professional,"

Conveyancing May 26

The team communication and support was very professional and efficient - the app gives 24/7 access and made this so much easier. I loved the progress chart so I always knew where we were and what was next. An area for improvement would be attention to detail. When signing off the title deeds and contract of sale, I picked up the fact that the buyers name was incorrect as was the final sale price. Important details and so easy to check before involving the client

This was our first contact with BLJ and were impressed by the automatic system in place to provide with information and procedural steps, but we also felt accompanied throughout the process from the beginning to the end through a good personal communication. We will be using BLJ in the future for their range of services and recommending it as a reliable and trustworthy company. We would also like to mention David, who did the conveyancing for us in a professional and friendly manner, which was paramount, since due to reasons unrelated to our side, the process extended longer than expected, which raised doubts and concerns for us about the success of the operation, but he kept us afresh and responded patiently and encouragingly, while permanently fighting our corner until the completion of the process. David was thorough throughout every step, and we feel confident everything was done following the rules, guidelines and regulations, essential for peace of mind. We are massively grateful and would definitely recur to him and BLJ again for any future operation.

from Bell Lamb & Joynson

Dear Alfvon67, Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you were impressed by both our systems and the personal communication throughout the process. It’s wonderful to know you felt supported from beginning to end. We truly appreciate your recommendation.

When I was in the Runcorn custody suite and first saw duty solicitor David I immediately felt like someone was on my side. Pre interview, he was amazing and extinguished my anxiety about the whole process. He was clear, concise and professional. Thankfully I was released on bail soon after the interview and a no further action to the offences was given a week later by the police. I recommend this firm and of course David who is semi retired but you cannot put a price on experience. Thank you!

from Bell Lamb & Joynson

Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that David was able to provide clear, reassuring, and professional support during a stressful time, helping to ease your anxiety throughout the process. It’s wonderful to know the matter was resolved positively, and your recommendation is greatly appreciated.
