Great Service

Great service from Lily and her team from start to finish.
The online portal is also a big plus and makes communication easy for both sides.
Very pleased with service and I will be in touch next year for another property sale that is currently a BTL.

David was absolutely brilliant; he was proactive and guided us through the entire process. He helped us deal with very difficult negotiations with our sellers, and always remained cheerful and friendly. No hidden costs at any point, everything was upfront and clearly communicated. I'd use him again in a second, would highly recommend!

Thank you Chris & Olivia

Chris and Olivia have worked tirelessly these last few weeks, both to get me to completion before the 1st April and to also keep the whole chain moving forward with very difficult solicitors further up the chain. I will definitely be recommending them to friends and family for their efficiency, responsiveness and for BL&J being nearly £1000 cheaper than conveyancers recommended by my estate agents. Thank you!

Wet happy with services provided

We have used Bell Lamb & Joynson since 2007 for multiple house purchases and sales, and they have always been professional, efficient, and fairly priced.

A special thanks to Claire Manning and Jasmin Blythin, who are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and ensure every transaction runs smoothly. Their clear communication and attention to detail make the process stress-free.

Their mobile app provides real-time updates, and they also call you personally, keeping you informed every step of the way. I wouldn’t trust anyone else—highly recommended!

Sale of 35 Gillibrand walks

Fantastic smooth conveyance. David not only responded to my queries quickly but was also quick in relaying buyer queries to me. I was travelling a lot during the conveyance and he managed the process so that he knew when I was near a printer and could sign the paperwork. Very good customer experience.

I had the pleasure to work with Jim and Jeremy, an extremely professional pair of solicitors in which took upon a difficult challenge. I am incredibly grateful for how hard they worked for me, the results were better than expected. This is Thankyou to their knowledge and organisation- which in hindsight relieved me throughout my case. Also a huge mention to Samantha for being available and communicating well with me throughout.
