Efficient and very easy to communicate with - the app makes the process so much easier and less stress inducing. Sam was always reachable via the app or email and we always received a response the same day. Would recommend without hesitation.

I just want to say a massive thank you to Gemma and Emma for all their help and support over the past couple of months. From the start they were really professional, friendly, very proactive and making sure our buying a house process was so easy! Myself and Nathan are extremely grateful for the experience they gave us and for the first class service, if we need anymore support or advice in the future we will definitely be using Bell Lamb and Joynson, especially Gemma Scholes and Emma Coathup.
A representative from Bell Lamb & Joynson responded to this review on 06 May, 2025:

Collected on:
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.
A representative from Bell Lamb & Joynson responded to this review on 01 May, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words, Stephen. We're glad to hear Gemma and Emma were able to navigate your unique case successfully. We look forward to working with you again on future projects!

Collected on:
Recently completed using BLJ and can say they were very helpful throughout the process and helped ensure things ran smoothly. Would have been 5 stars other than the difficulty to actually speak to someone on the phone. Appreciate they are busy but they also rarely returned calls within the 48 hours that they suggest. They are however responsive on the instant chat on their app.
Had Gemma and Emma as my case managers, thank you both.
