Very good experience

I was selling a buy to let property which is never easy when interest rates have gone up and the market seemed depressed but John Lewis made the process easy and clear when the buyer came along. Would definitely use them again and would recommend them.

Very good experience, I’ve not bought or needed any conveyancing done for many years. Still as good as they were all those years ago. Would have been a give only a lot of attachments sent via email and sometimes just difficult to read. I thought we would Still get paper copies.

Property conveyancing

I was extremely pleased with the service that I received from John M Lewis, and in particular from Tom Hopkins. I was selling a property and the purchasers solicitors were quite difficult to manage, but Tom was proactive, efficient and kept me well informed throughout the process.

My solicitor Kirsty, was an unbelievably patient and professional individual. She couldn’t have done any better with everything she was tasked with. A stressful experience for all involved and she handled it beautifully. Can’t fault these guys, worth every penny.

We have sold and brought a few properties over a 14yr period with JML and the service has always been friendly professional and efficient.
A special mention for Jacqueline who has been absolutely fantastic communicating and keeping us informed step by step. Her professionalism has been outstanding I only wish the buyers of our property had such an efficient lady such as Jacqueline working at their solicitors.
Plus a mention for receptionist Vanesa who is a lovely friendly lady to have on the front desk
