Read on if you want to avoid a nightmare move!

Gail and the were what I would describe as absolute super heroes! Our chain was fraught with issues and Gail and the team kept focussed and navigated the path through. I am aware of other issues in the legal process however I am a certified 'Team Butler' fanatic and just can not rave about the her and the team enough.

You would do no better other than to use these services.

(btw, this is n ow my 3rd move completed with them, that should say enough in it own right).

JM Lewis - excellent conveyancing experience

I was referred to JM Lewis by Scoffield Stone as I had to complete a complicated house purchase and Land Registry assignment after a sudden bereavement. We had enormous time pressures and tight deadlines to work to which JM Lewis assured us they would aspire to meet. JM Lewis were extremely responsive and led us through the process carefully and collaboratively to hit these timelines. I couldn’t be more impressed with their attention to detail and the navigate this complex process whilst keeping us informed at each stage. I would not hesitate in recommending their services.

I never leave a good review! But this solicitors deserve one. I have used them several times for services such as house purchases and will writing and I will never use anyone else. Friends, affordable, on the ball and fast. Jacqueline did my last house purchase and she was so fast and friendly, chasing me!
