Amazing service

It was my first time buying a property and I was quite anxious about the process. I’m pleased with the excellent service provided by BLJ solicitors. Rachael McClean and Victoria Boutle were very helpful, professional, approachable & quick at responding to any messages / queries etc.
It made the whole process of purchasing the property stress free for me.
I would definitely recommend BLJ solicitors.
Thank you once again for your amazing service.

Everything was handled smoothly and all parties were kept informed of any developments throughout.
The process was quick, efficient and a lot less stressful than I had imagined it would be.
The team at Bell Lamb and Joynson were recommended to us by our mortgage advisor and we were very impressed with their professionalism and teamwork.

I wouldn't say the Runcorn Branch was bad, but other branches of BLJ were ridiculous and very slow

The idea of a "Chat " line is misleading. We made various comments or asked questions and the response time was very slow which makes the Chat line pretty unhelpful if you need a prompt response.
