10/10 Service!

Jo, Karen and the team were absolutely brilliant in helping get our purchase over the line. We faced issue after issue during our first home purchase however, the team were able to keep on top of every problem that cropped up, always sorting in a professional and efficient way. They were always quick to respond to any queries and patient with us whenever we needed to chase anything externally. We couldn’t have done this without them and would 100% recommend their services. We will definitely be using John M Lewis again in the future.

Probate sale

Our go to solicitors for all property and will matters where delighting customers is clearly a priority from the start to the finish of the process. Always quick to respond to any queries in a timely manner to ensure a smooth and professional service. They dealt with my Mum’s private property sale in a professional and timely manner.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Jo & her excellent team when buying or selling a house. Jo has an exceptional wealth of knowledge, was very approachable & offered clear advice when required. Throughout the process I felt I was in safe hands & kept up to date, minimising what could be a highly stressful time. Thank you Jo & all the team for a brilliant service from beginning to end.

Fantastic service

5

Extremely thorough, detailed, timely and responsive
Used Jo twice now - to buy and sell a house.
She always rings back very quickly and is very helpful, patient, takes time to explain things, never impatient
If she isn’t available there is always a supportive back up system

Jo Simpson & her team have recently helped me with conveyancing. Both the purchase of my new home & the sale of my old home were not straight forward. The delays were caused by third parties & not by John M Lewis. Despite the delays, I always found Jo & all members of staff helpful, kind & professional. Jo was very obtainable & made me feel we were all working together in my best interests. Thank you so much.

We have recently used John M Lewis for our house move and were extremely happy with everything they did. Due to the fast responses and detailed information it allowed our move to go through smoothly and quickly with no hiccups.

I will definitely be recommending them to other people we know who are planning on moving house. A special mention to Jo who was our assigned conveyencer, who dealt with all our queries. Great company all round.
