Everything was handled promptly and professionally, and despite my initial reservations about everything being done through an app it actually worked very well. I'd like to thank Sam and everyone who worked on my file for making it all as stress free as possible.

Smooth and effortless experience with BLJ. As first time buyers my wife and I were concerned about the process and had many questions along the way. BLJ and our solicitor Chris Courtney kept in communications with us throughout and answered all of our questions. Everything was explained to us and the purchase was completed on time.
The app is very useful.
Overall very happy.

Dear Nick, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted Chris and the team could make your first home-buying experience smooth and stress-free. It's great to hear the app was helpful too. Wishing you and your wife all the best in your new home! Best regards, Bell Lamb & Joynson

I had 2 counts of ABH , an was charged a year after the offence , the moment I made A phone call to BLJ they was straight away on the case , the solicitor Julie Grimes appointed me a barrister right away an asked me how I wanted to proceed with the charges and was there for from the minute I was asked them to represent me an till the end, I ended getting a suspended sentence and avoided prison for the second time. This is one of the best solicitors in the country and I’d highly recommend if anyone is facing any criminal charges and need good representation then give BLJ a call asap! I was in a dark place awaiting the outcome and whenever I needed advice Julie was always on the other end of the phone , I like to thank Julie Grimes and my barrister Mrs Duckworth for all the help and support and patience and time and also preparation for my court proceedings , 5 star company and they helped me get a second chance at life!

We have completed on a property today and without the help of David we would not of got here. He was brilliant and so efficient. We wanted to get in before Christmas and he has made that happen! Would highly recommend the company (especially David) to anyone needing a solicitor. He kept us up to date and dealt with everything, often working very late hours! Thank you.

As a first time buyer, I had no idea what to expect or what the process of buying a house would be. Everything was explained clearly and in a way I would understand. No question felt silly to ask. Communication was excellent, was easy and fast to get response whether that was through there app or by phone. Even when there was annual leave happening, my file was still being continued and overseen by others and moving forward. I would 100% recommend anyone, and I know I would not go anywhere else if I was to need there services again.

Collected on:
From first contact, all information was communicated effectively and quickly. Clear instructions were given for completion of documents and updates were given regularly on the app so I barely had to contact my solicitor and their team. I’ve never used a solicitor that has been so responsive and the speed at which any of my messages were answered was outstanding - always on the same day. There were various complications that arose from further down the chain and my solicitor worked incredibly hard on the day of completion to continually chase matters, her approach felt so personal and she was so invested in making sure we moved as planned.
Sam Austin was amazing. There were so many problems at the beginning of the chain from the buyer’s solicitor and Sam went over and above to continually push things at that end. She took a personal interest in getting us moved as planned and was so invested in the work she did which I know caused so much frustration at times. If it wasn’t for Sam’s determination, we would not have moved on the day we were packed up and I can’t thank her enough.
