Gemma took up our house purchase after another purchase fell through and we had to move quickly. Gemma took us through the process amazingly fast and kept us informed continuously. Can't praise Gemma enough for the fantastic service.

Excellent service!

This was our first time selling a property and the service we received from both Emma and Gemma was absolutely amazing. They always got back to us either instantly or within the same day, we never had to chase them. They were also very supportive in answering all our questions. I can’t fault their work ethic and we will be using them again in the near future.

Conveyance

5


My fabulous conveyancing solicitor Gemma provided an outstanding level of service and went beyond the call of duty to support me whilst managing what ended up being a pretty drawn out and problematic conveyancing process. The prompt communication from both Gemma and her assistant Emma was indeed excellent, they made me feel confident, they were readily available and kept me well informed at every stage. I am so grateful for their friendly professionalism and helpfulness and would have no hesitation in recommending them to my family and friends. Together they make a great team. Once again thank you for all your support.

After an initial fumble in the app from the admin team in not realising that I had actually accepted the quote for conveyancing, I have nothing but praise for my final team of Gemma and Emma. I was in a chain with family, and the reassurance I had knowing that my solicitors were not only on the ball with my own sake and purchase but also able to provide updates that would also support my elderly parents in making sure that their far less efficient solicitors were also in step was immense. As we neared completion, Gemma and Emma's updates were clear, efficient and supportive, and on the day itself, when it was looking like we might not be able to complete on the day and I was battling removals companies not arriving, I had complete faith that Gemma was doing all she could to make sure that our link in the chain was ready to go. Beyond this, though, she was looking at how she could ensure that the rest of the chain could also move forward, and presented me with all the options, and understood my prioritiy in getting my parents safely sorted with their purchase ahead of my own. To have such a human attitude throughout a lengthy legal process you're not familiar with was reassurance to an entire extended family and deserves recognition beyond the usual pat on the back. Thank you so much.

I cannot praise our BLJ team of Gemma and Emma enough. They were the human element in a strict, stressful and very long process and were quick to feedback with updates and explanations often within the hour as we neared our completion date. When others in the chain were apparently panicking I had complete faith that they were already ahead of where we needed to be.
