Highly efficient

Hearing stories about how long it normally takes to buy a house these days due to delays post offer acceptance, I’ve been highly impressed by John M Lewis for how quickly they managed to progress my purchase and for how communicative they’ve been a long the way. Way to go Team Byrd! 🙌👏

First time buyer.

I used John M Lewis & Co to purchase my flat under the right to buy scheme. I found the process initially quite overwhelming, especially the paperwork and understanding the process as I was a first time buyer and the technical jargon used.

It was decided that I should meet Gail Butler in person rather than doing things all online. Gail Butler was extremely accommodating and patient with me and was excellent at explaining the process and key points to be aware of. The only thing I would say about the overall experience is that I would’ve liked it to have taken a couple of months shorter but overall I’m grateful for Gail’s advice, patience and care during the process.

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!
