Wonderful and professional service.

"We had Victoria and Rachael working for us to sell our Mum's house. They went above and beyond in helping to chase up our buyer. We were incredibly impressed with their hard work and professionalism and would highly recommend to all others when selling a house."

Amazingly Efficient and Excellent Communication

Have sold nine properties and BLJ are by far the best conveyance solicitors. Great online transactions, all questions answered very quickly and efficiently. Kept in touch every step of the way and most importantly made us feel confident and stress free. I highly recommend BLJ, thank you to all!!

Excellent service throughout from Ellie Jones

I had a very positive experience and would highly recommend. Ellie’s communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She was responsive to any questions or concerns and kept me regularly updated on progress, which made the sale much less stressful. I always felt informed and supported, her professionalism was second to none. I thank Ellie for making the sale of the property a smooth and successful experience.

We had a great experience with Ellie, we’re first time buyers and didn’t know the process well, Ellie explained how it all worked and she was always a phone call away when I needed to ask something. It went very smoothly and quickly and would like to thank her for making it stress free for us.

Excellent service

Having never been in a situation where we needed legal representation before, this was a really stressful time for us. Samantha put us at ease every step of the way and Darren was an absolute star in court. He put the whole family at ease and really fought our corner, winning the case. I can't recommend highly enough.

No major hiccups, some last minute anxiety

We bought our house through BLJ with nothing major going wrong. They were upfront about fees and there were no hidden fees or surprises along the way. The app was really helpful at the beginning when we were trying to keep track of everything that needed to be done. It was useful to have all communication in one place and not scattered throughout emails. The only reason it’s not a 5 star review is that at the very end, the crux point of trying to complete, it was tricky to get hold of our solicitors to confirm information when we were getting nervy as first time buyers. We wanted a little more reassurance that everything was going to go ahead on the planned date. Overall, I would recommend.

Lily and Sarah were on hand to answer any questions I had and progressed our sale and purchase perfectly. The estate agents even commented how refreshing it was to have solicitors who were on the ball. Not planning on moving again but I'd definitely use BLJ again for any future transactions. Thanks ladies!

Wendy Christine's experience...

Initially impressed with the portal but soon realised that the responses are slow and are holding responses not action driven. No clear updates on what is outstanding or what needs to be sorted by who. Difficult to get hold of the solicitors by phone or portal. 48hrs SLA to respond to messages but still waiting following this. The process of buying a house is outdated and needs to be more streamlined. The statement for our mortgage was not requested in a timely manner as one example, SLA not known by the solicitor which was 48 hrs not 24hrs which delayed the sale. Informed by solicitor it was requested on Monday but when I called First direct it was only requested on Tuesday with 48hr leadtime. The statement is valid for 30 days. Why would you not have requested this earlier? Nothing seems to be streamlines at all with no clear communication with Seller at all.
