Fantastic service from start to finish

Jo and her team (Karen, Angela etc) delivered a professional but also personal experience, dealing with my sale and purchase. Jo and her team worked overtime to put everything in place for us to move before Christmas and worked with a difficult chain to ensure we could get the move completed. I would 100% go with John M Lewis again, I went with them from a recommendation and will also be recommending to friends and family. Thanks to the John M Lewis team!

Professional and reliable legal support

We cannot thank Kunal Parekh and John M Lewis & Co enough for their outstanding support during the sale of our old property and the purchase of our new home. From start to finish, Kunal was professional, thorough, and always available to answer any questions.

Kunal made what could have been a stressful process incredibly smooth, handling all the paperwork with precision and efficiency. Kunal’s attention to detail and clear communication kept us informed every step of the way, giving us peace of mind throughout.

We highly recommend John M Lewis & Co as well as Kunal Parekh to anyone needing reliable and expert legal assistance for property transactions. Thank you for making this journey so easy for us!

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!
