My case was unusual as it wasn't profit driven for a buy to let. Buying through a Ltd company and having major delays she could have given up on ever completing for me but she and her team were amazing. Her due diligence in the beginning being a main area to make sure her employer was covered and that I was a legitimate company director made me feel we were in safe hands. I expect to use Gemma in the future for further social housing purchases although I expect less delays our end on the next ones. It has been a delight working with her and Emma and I look forward to doing so in the future.

I’ve been working with Mia as my solicitor and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support she’s provided so far. From the beginning, she’s shown genuine care and commitment to my case—it really feels like she’s taken my situation to heart and is fighting my corner with everything she’s got. That means the world to me, especially as I’m dealing with this largely on my own. Her professionalism, clear communication, and reassuring presence have made a difficult experience feel more manageable. I’m very happy with the progress we've made so far and feel confident having her in my corner.
A representative from Bell Lamb & Joynson responded to this review on 22 April, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words, Michael. We're thrilled to hear that Mia has been able to provide the support and reassurance you need during this time. Your confidence in her makes all the difference, and we’re here to continue supporting you every step of the way.

We had David M while buying our first home. He was professional, quick to respond and always available to contact. Made the process much less stressful and kept us updated all along. Next time we buy a house, we’ll use BLJ again

Popped in to the Maghull Branch to see Mr Leeman (who was very highly recommended by a very good friend) but I was most impressed with the lady on reception named Angie. She put my mind completely at ease, listened, took a proper interest in me and made me feel like there was a positive answer for all of my problems. I didn't feel like 'just another punter'. I felt understood and finally appreciated. So I'll go back there again now with any legal matters, because if the receptionist is that good (and Mr Leeman is a real winner too) then they can have all of my business.

Hi Stephen, we appreciate you taking the time to leave this review, we greatly appreciate it. We will be sure to pass your kind words across and we are pleased to have helped. Take care.

I had the pleasure to work with Jim and Jeremy, an extremely professional pair of solicitors in which took upon a difficult challenge. I am incredibly grateful for how hard they worked for me, the results were better than expected. This is Thankyou to their knowledge and organisation- which in hindsight relieved me throughout my case. Also a huge mention to Samantha for being available and communicating well with me throughout.

I am extremely happy with the service provided by Claire Manning, as a first time buyer with no knowledge of the process she has kindly answered any queries I have had, and efficiently processed all documentation especially when I advised sellers wish to complete in a few days time, and I had provided some documents later than expected, Claire had everything sorted the next day. I would recommend this company to anyone on the back of my own experience. A daunting house purchase process was so much quicker and smoother than I expected, thank you Claire, Ruby and all of the team who have helped me buy my first property! 😊
A representative from Bell Lamb & Joynson responded to this review on 28 April, 2025:
Hi Bethany. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We’re thrilled to hear how well Claire, Ruby, and the team supported you through your first home purchase. Buying your first property can feel daunting, and we’re so pleased we could help make the process smoother, quicker, and as stress-free as possible for you. Your kind words and recommendation mean a great deal to us. Congratulations on your new home – we wish you every happiness there!
