Thank you for your recommendation, Kelsey. We are pleased to hear that you received such attentive and efficient support throughout the sale. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
I called up for some information regarding a will for my mother I spoke to a lady called Monica, she was lovley and explained everything perfectly and how the process works. Could not fault the experience, would defiantly recommend this place.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Becky. We are pleased to hear that Monica was able to provide clear and helpful guidance. We really appreciate your recommendation and kind words.
Michaela and the team have been absolutely incredible from start to finish. I love the app and very easy way to message at whatever time suits me. Whenever I have called I have also always been able to get through. Communication really is key, and BLJ have been fantastic. Thank you so much for helping us sell our mum's home.

Thank you for your continued trust in our firm, Carl! We’re delighted that you’re happy with both our Wills and conveyancing services.
BLJ provided a fantastic conveyancing service. I have now arranged for BLJ to arrange my will also. I would highly recommend their services.
Thank you for your positive feedback, Kerry. I’m pleased we provided a fantastic conveyancing service and that you’ve chosen us to arrange your will as well. If you need any further assistance with your will or any other legal matter, please get in touch.
Chris has been phenomenal throughout this whole experience. What started off as a bit of a nightmare has become a total dream with the help of Chris and the team. We've had constant reminders and updates which is so helpful, as it's so easy to lose track of so much information when you lead a busy life. A massive thank you to the whole team for their work

It was sometimes difficult to get updates especially on the app provided, the information did not always mean anything to me and left some confusion The final stages were very unclear, I was told things were in place, then they weren’t, then they were? I found my removal company and estate agent gave me more information than the solicitor firm on completion day, I was not informed of the process on this day, Google helped but it would have been good to have more information before the date, there was an error with the funding transfer as well which did cause more stress unfortunately. I did not meet anyone from the team and there were delays in replying to my enquiries I think it would be useful for you to provide details of what some of your terms mean eg ‘enquiries, searches, certificates’ and provide more information about timescales , I was supported by BLJ and the vendors used the same company so I would think this would usually make communication more effective? This was a new experience for me at a stressful time and as someone who has no insight into the processes involved I did feel uncertain of what to expect The reception team at the office were always helpful and it was good to see they were supporting each other when they were unsure what to do, thanks to them and please can they be told of this? Sorry I don’t recall their names I hope this will help your firm improve their service and practice

Shania and Rachael were great at keeping us informed of any updates and explained anything we were unsure of to us clearly. Being first time buyers, we found the experience daunting at first but Shania and Rachael were great at sorting everything!

I cannot speak highly enough of Chris Courtenay and the team at Bell Lamb & Joynson, who handled the conveyancing for the purchase of my new home. From start to finish, the service was absolutely outstanding. Chris was incredibly professional, efficient and approachable, and what impressed me most was the excellent communication throughout the entire process. I was kept fully informed at every stage, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. The whole experience was remarkably smooth and seamless, which made what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and completely manageable. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with such a professional, dedicated and efficient team. Their attention to detail, excellent communication and commitment to providing a first-class service really stood out. I would wholeheartedly recommend Chris Courtenay and Bell Lamb & Joynson to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and highly professional conveyancing service. A truly exceptional experience. Thank you, Chris, and everyone involved. You have been absolutely fantastic!

We have a really nice experience with Jacqueline Ball and Megan Shaw during the process of buying our first property. The process was long but they kept us posted and answered all our infinite questions with professionalism and empathy. Thank you very much for all your support ladies, it was easier to go through this process because of you two.
Congratulations on your first property, Ninive! It’s lovely to hear that Jacqueline and Megan made the journey easier for you with their patience, clear communication and support throughout. Thank you for your kind words, and we wish you both all the best in your new home.

A very reliable, professional and thorough team that represented us when selling our house and buying a new property. I would highly recommend BL&J and would not hesitate to contact them again if I needed a legal matter dealt with.

Thank you for your kind recommendation, Terry. We’re pleased we could support you with both your sale and purchase, and it’s great to know you felt well looked after throughout. We’d be happy to assist you again whenever you need us.
So much more expensive than other I felt like cos I'm a first time buyer it was ok to make me wait . The portal is only good when I actually get a reply. At least we have got to the end goal

Fabulous service, efficient, pleasant and great interpersonal skills. Thanks Sophia for your patience 😁
Chris and Olivia were just precisely what we needed in terms of handling our house purchase. They kept the process simple, clear, efficient and were quick to deal with any issues as they arose and were highly communicative throughout. Chris really made it clear he was on our side and working for our interests, whilst being reassuring at all times and swiftly dealing with any requests we made of him. I cannot speak more highly of the service and support we received, and this is attested to by the fact we are very happy to be working with Chris and Olivia on our next property transaction. I have heard a lot of horror stories when it comes to the conveyancing process and solicitors that don’t give the kind of support you need during what is a major life event - I am therefore absolutely sincere when I say I shall be recommending BLJ, and Chris and Olivia. I should also give a shout out to David for the kind and attentive additional support he provided during our journey - absolutely reinforcing the clear picture of the can-do, friendly, professional culture at BLJ.
It’s great to hear that Chris, Olivia and David provided such reassuring and attentive support throughout your purchase. We truly appreciate your continued trust in the team for your next property transaction. Thank you for your kind words and for recommending Bell Lamb & Joynson.
Experience , helpful and friendly staff
Thank you for your kind feedback, Rob. We’re glad our team made you feel welcome and supported throughout your experience.
Chris was really nice and super prompt with his replies which I know that people have a hard time coming by with solicitors, so this was great. 10/10 for that. However, I think it would help to inform the customers about any potential additional costs more clearly over the phone and any action that they need to take themselves (ie. Filling out release forms for LISA). First time buyers have no experience of the process and it would help to have more concise info re: the whole process. Apart from those little things, I had a really good experience with a Chris and thank him for his help with everything.
