Smooth experience

Needed to make my Will,something we tend to put on the back burner for too long. Wanted a professional one, not a DIY. Contacted B L.&J at Walton Vale and made an appointment. Laura Williams helped me to prepare the Will. She pointed out the do's and dont's and guided me through the process. It all went very smooth and Laura was both professional and friendly. Thank you Laura for making a sensitive subject easy.

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, extremely knowledgeable and highly experienced. Two weeks later our Wills have been written and we are absolutely delighted with the support we have received from Melissa Hughes and Bell, Lamb & Joynson. Thank you.

Excellent Support Throughout a Difficult Sale

We were very pleased with the service provided by Racheal McClean and Victoria Boutle during the recent sale of my late mother-in-law’s home. The firm’s digital services made it easy to keep track of the process and complete all the necessary actions promptly. When there were delays between the offer and exchange of contracts, Racheal and Victoria were diligent in following matters up and kept us fully informed throughout. We always felt that they were on top of everything. Their manner was consistently professional, approachable and reassuring. It was a pleasure to deal with them, and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Just amazing!

What can I say, except a great big thank you, to Victoria Boutle and Rachel McClean for making our house sale such a smooth journey. They’ve looked after myself and my husband so well and taken all our worries away. Using the app gave us the opportunity to ask any questions or queries which Victoria and Rachel answered with quick responses. We were kept up to date from day one, right up to the end, which gave us peace of mind knowing that we were in safe hands. I would definitely recommend Bell Lamb Joynson, Maghull to anyone who is looking for a solicitor when selling your house. Thank you Victoria and Rachel x
