Excellent service

Everything was handled promptly and professionally, and despite my initial reservations about everything being done through an app it actually worked very well. I'd like to thank Sam and everyone who worked on my file for making it all as stress free as possible.

House purchase

This is the fourth or fifth time I have used Bell Lamb and Joynson So this should say it all
But I have to add the service I have had from Bell Lamb and Joynson as been fabulous each purchase as run smoothly the staff have been really friendly professional and happy to help. But this last purchase especially as it was Sam who informed me of the change in stamp duty changes and managed to complete in my completion in hours I couldn’t ask for a better service 10 out 10 from me

Fantastic solicitors, would highly recommend.

Sam and Ellie have been fantastic and the whole process from start to finish couldn’t have gone any smoother. Always promptly getting back to us if we had any questions and always reassured us keeping our mind at ease as we all know it can be quite stressful process. I would highly recommend them both and I will certainly use them again in the future if needed. Thanks again ladies 🙏
