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,"

    Julian's experience...

    Looks like we have been deducted Management Fees for £500 incorrectly and the stamp Duty was not paid on time resulting in a fine. I know this has been accepted and you have promised to deal with it and pay the penalty but we received letters about it from HMRC which was not good. Other than that all was good although the whole process took a very long time one way or another. Thanks Julian

      Lack of support (very little to none) asked for guidance from the moment we were onboarding what a shambles this was should’ve listened to advice, (do not use them ) we have all but lost the house we grew up in because of this company I would avoid at all cost , as they say wisdom comes after the mistake

      The service we received from Bell Lamb& Joynson on our recent sale of our property and the conveyance they provided was exemplary. A massive thankyou to Olivia and the team that supported her.. The communication process was easy and underpinned with the BLJ App which provided a clear means to send and receive messages.. it also had an easy to understand dashboard.. thanks again

      Thank you very much, Robert! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave this review.

      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.
