Estate Administration

A full administration of my late mother's estate was undertaken, firstly by Lawrence Dunne & then by Jessica Flaherty. All enquiries were answered in a prompt, courteous & professional manner at all times, and all advise clear and concise. The staff on the reception decks were excellent on all my dealings with them, and I never had to chase up any emails, correspondence etc as all aspects were dealt with in a timely & sensitive manner. At a difficult time, the service was first class & I only have positive words for all concerned.

Local expertise and a Great Customer Experience

Great help and support from Rachael McLean, Claire Manning and all the support team at BLJ Maghull.
This office location was ideal in Maghull Central Square ( good car parking available) and it was never too much trouble for the team if you needed to go in, sort any queries there and then , all without a formal appointment.

On one visit Rachael kindly took time out from what she was already doing in what is undoubtedly a busy schedule (unannounced) to go through some details in a private room to ensure matters were fully explained and proceeded swiftly. Great Customer Service over and above what you would expect.

Clear communication throughout - highly recommend using the Maghull office in particular. Thank You.

FTB house purchase

Ellie and Sam were amazing through the whole process of helping me to purchase my first home. It was not nearly as stressful as I had expected! The use of the app is great for communication and updates. I would thoroughly recommend BLJ, especially Ellie and Sam for any conveyancing needs.

Fantastic service from BLJ. Jenny and Lawrence were fantastic and concluded our purchase of our first home in just over 3 months. The service was exceptional. Our calls were always answered and our emails were replied to swiftly. We were kept updated on the BLJ portal app and we never felt in the dark. They took the stress out of the whole process and we would not hesitate to use BLJ again in the future. Superb.

Didn’t want to provide a review until I completed my purchase

Ellie needs serious support when interacting with clients

I drove this sale always asking her to make a call as opposed to email

Not impressed in the slightest

Darren John Neville's experience...

Mistake after mistake
No deed of trust completed
No bank info completed on the completion statement
Ellie is un contactable and at times rude as if I’m wasting my time when it’s her who’s making the mistakes
David picked the case up and credit to him got it moving
Double counted the mortgage cash back which means I’m now out of pocket for 250

Poor customer service and attention to detail
