Protracted purchase

Due to probate issues up the chain, what should have been a simple and quick transaction ended up taking 9 months. Kunal and his support staff were friendly, positive and professional from start to finish. My overall impression is of a well organised, responsive and client-focussed team. I would highly recommend and certainly would use again!

We used John M Lewis & Co Solicitors and found them to be very efficient and thorough in explaining the entire process. Although our original caseworker unfortunately left midway, Sanni stepped in seamlessly and ensured everything stayed on schedule — even managing to complete everything before the stamp duty deadline.

Despite being under extra pressure with a heavier workload, Sanni always responded promptly to my calls and emails. We explained that we were pushed for time, and he did his absolute best to accommodate us within our required timeframe. He was helpful, friendly, and clearly very knowledgeable.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending John M Lewis & Co Solicitors to all my friends and family. We’ll definitely be using them again for all our future conveyancing needs.

Thank you for maintaining the highest professional standards — exactly what you need when navigating such a stressful process.

All I can say is WOW, thank you so much Jacqueline.

Me and my partner are first time buyers, but have never had to worry about the stress of buying a house, wondering what the next steps are or how the process will work. Jacqueline has been amazing at keeping us updated, informing us about the next steps throughout and what we need to do.

You hear of people having to constantly chase their solicitors, but this wasn’t the case at all. And we have just completed in 3 months!!

Thank you so much Jacqueline, we will be back in the future and recommending you!

I never leave a good review! But this solicitors deserve one. I have used them several times for services such as house purchases and will writing and I will never use anyone else. Friends, affordable, on the ball and fast. Jacqueline did my last house purchase and she was so fast and friendly, chasing me!
