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,"

Amy and Sophia have handled my conveyancing on a few occasions now, and their service is always exceptional. They kept me fully updated throughout the entire sale and purchase process, trying to make this prosess as stress-free. As possible. By far the best solicitors I have ever used. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a 100% trusted team.

Freehold Purchase

We found that the staff involved in the transaction provided seamless and professional service from beginning to end. The matter was dealt with the absolute minimum of fuss; no need to chase as we were provided with updates; and the cost was - in our opinion - reasonable and itemised - we knew what we were paying for - which is great. Thanks

Excellent service throughout - would highly recommend

I’ve had a really positive experience throughout the process of selling my first home. Rachael and Shania were extremely helpful and supportive, particularly when there were difficulties around proposed completion dates and I felt that they genuinely listened to me, stood up for my position and made sure I wasn’t put under pressure to agree to something that didn’t work for me. Communication was excellent throughout and they made what can be a very stressful process feel much more manageable. I’m really grateful for all of their help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Outstanding Service & Highly Recommended ⭐️ Absolutely outstanding service from Chris Courtney at Bell Lamb & Joynson. After what was an incredibly stressful house-buying experience, Chris was professional, thorough and kept us regularly updated throughout. He was always on the ball, chased outstanding matters and made sure everything was properly investigated. While Chris was on leave, David Meyer stepped in and was equally fantastic, keeping everything moving and ensuring we were fully informed. Although the purchase ultimately didn’t go ahead, we’re incredibly grateful to have had Chris and David acting on our behalf. Their professionalism, communication and attention to detail were brilliant. I would 100% recommend Bell Lamb & Joynson to anyone needing a solicitor and will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you both for all your hard work and support! ⭐️

I had a really positive experience with Bell Lamb & Joynson Solicitors for my conveyancing. Amy Rouse was my conveyancer, and a big thank you also to Alex, Sophia and everyone else who helped throughout the process. Communication was excellent. Whenever I called to find out what was happening, there was always someone in the team who could help and who knew what was going on. Responses were really quick too, which makes such a difference. Their conveyancing app was really good and made the whole process much easier. You can upload and receive documents, complete what’s required, communicate with the team and see exactly where you are in the process without endless emails going backwards and forwards. When it came to the crucial final stages, I was particularly impressed. Amy and the team were really on the ball, getting things done promptly and helping to keep everything moving. Sophia was also particularly helpful with chasing things up, and when chasing was needed, I could depend on the team to keep on top of it and push things forward. I felt very well looked after throughout and I’m really pleased I chose Bell Lamb & Joynson. Thank you so much to Amy and the whole team!

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.
