Recent property purchase

We have recently completed on a leasehold property purchase. An unexpected and complex issue arose regarding transfer of ownership of a parking space. This required some “out of the ordinary” legal activity and this was compounded by a a difference of opinion between our solicitor and the sellers solicitor. Our solicitor, Rachael McClean, worked very hard to ensure our best interests were correctly represented and acted upon when it would have been much easier to acquiesce to the seller’s solicitors wishes. Throughout the process Rachael and her colleagues communicated in an effective and timely manner and were very happy to explain the progress and complex issues related to the deed of variation. Thanks to Rachael’s determination the issue was resolved to our satisfaction and we were able to exchange and complete. The staff in the Maghull office were very helpful when it came to document preparation and signatures. Overall we were very happy with the service we received and would have no hesitation in using Rachael and her colleagues for future conveyancing needs.

Great portal and very communicative service

Bell Lamb's portal service provided me with a great way to communicate instantly with the conveyancers and get timely updates on both my sale and purchase. Staff were always on hand to answer any questions and put me at ease.

Amy was incredible throughout - could not recommend enough!

Amy has been brilliant throughout my apartment sale, dealing with multiple teams and companies to execute the sale within the required timeframe before my mortgage renewed. Her and the team kept us informed every step of the way and were great at negotiating our requirements. Thank you to all the BLJ team!

Had a great experience and would definitely use their services again. Ellie Jones was particularly helpful in putting my mind at ease and walking me through the additional actions that needed to take place prior to my completion date. Thank you both for your support on this purchase.

First time buyer, great experience!

I’ve recently just bought a house, and Gemma and Olivia supported me through the sale of my first property, communicating the process and what needed to be achieved at the correct time minimising pressures, making it as easy as possible. Along the way there were complications with the chain, making a stressful time more complicated. Olivia and Gemma, were extremely supportive providing me with reassurance and the next steps, in an approachable manner, I can only recommend their service and thank them for all their help, it was really appreciated and made a stressful period easier.

Sam and Ellie were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They were easily accessible on the phone and would always return calls if they were not immediately available. They worked hard to complete on our preferred date, despite a number of obstacles caused by other conveyancing firms in the chain. I would highly recommend BL&J and would not hesitate to use them again the future. Thank you Sam and Ellie - you made a difficult process as simple as possible and got us into our new home before Christmas!
