Despite a multiple of arms and legs in the chain, including the vendor stating at one point she wasn't proceeding Victoria & Rachael provided updates and help throughout what was a very stressful and complex set of circumstances. Both were extremely helpful and supportive.

Sale of flat 26 Mayhall Ct, Maghull

Quick and efficient service. Trouble free and responsive. Even though I live 100 miles away, distance was no impediment to achieving a reasonably quick sale completion

It was easy to deal with due to the online portal with which most communication and documents could be shared via. The office is in a great location.

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.

Everything was handled smoothly and all parties were kept informed of any developments throughout.
The process was quick, efficient and a lot less stressful than I had imagined it would be.
The team at Bell Lamb and Joynson were recommended to us by our mortgage advisor and we were very impressed with their professionalism and teamwork.
