Professional service from start to finish

Jacqueline at JM Lewis handled all aspects of the conveyancing throughout our house move. This was a large chain and wasn't easy but she was always just a call or email away to help with any questions and guide us through to successful completion. I would definitely recommend JM Lewis to anyone thinking of moving house. Their costs are extremely competitive and the service is excellent. Jacqueline has helped us move to our dream home with ease and we are very grateful to her for that.

Adrian and Alysha

Would not recommend

I have used this firm for numerous house sales and purchases over the years. They used to be great. On this occasion there were errors, very poor communication and a serious lack of professionalism. I am disappointed with the service and will not use again.

Auction purchase

Thank you TEAM Butler, getting a auction purchase over the line in not easy as you have 28 days to complete. I'm so happy Gail and her team got this purchase completed for me in the allocated time, I will definitely be using John M Lewis again for future auction purchases. Again thank you so much I really appreciate it.

But to let conveyance

I have dealt with a few of my own solicitors in the last 40 plus years, both buying and selling rented domestic properties. I have also been aware of the same number of solicitors, representing the other side. However, I have never been represented by such a pleasant, efficient and capable solicitor as Jaqueline Byrd at JM Lewis in Derby. Credit where it is due, well done Jaqueline.

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!

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.
