No updates via email. Had to rely on husband to tell me what I needed to do to progress the works. This was due to email being inaccurately recorded, and despite being updated, I still did not receive updates.

Everyone at BLJ was exceptional with their work. We bought the house and completed a day before the new stamp duty charges came in and BLJ especially Claire and Jasmin worked so hard to make sure we made the deadline, they really are a credit to the company. Always available to talk on the phone and always with a friendly and informative manner. I will definitely be using BLJ again in the future if needed.

Wet happy with services provided
We have used Bell Lamb & Joynson since 2007 for multiple house purchases and sales, and they have always been professional, efficient, and fairly priced.
A special thanks to Claire Manning and Jasmin Blythin, who are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and ensure every transaction runs smoothly. Their clear communication and attention to detail make the process stress-free.
Their mobile app provides real-time updates, and they also call you personally, keeping you informed every step of the way. I wouldn’t trust anyone else—highly recommended!

Review of sale of Property, WA11
From the start, Jasmin Blythin and Claire Manning have been professional and yet human in their correspondence with myself during the sale of the property.
Always prompt and clear in communication, no unnecessary "legal speak" to confuse the matter. Email was very prompt and understandable all the way through the process.
Many thanks to them and the company for doing this. This was the first time dealing with property and they put me at ease at an early stage.
The timing has been great so we have less to worry about over the Festive period and the buyers got their wish and are in their new house before Christmas.
Thanks again to all the team and people involved.

Finally a excellent solicitor
We have had numerous issues in the past with other conveyancers and solicitors and it was a nice change to deal with BLJ. From the start they were efficient and communicated effectively. They were prompt with replying to our messages and the completion went through with no issues. Will only be using BLJ in the future

Excellent Service
Claire and her assistant Alex were great dealing with my transfer and remortgage. Nothing was too much trouble. Even in spite of the sometimes silly questions I asked.
I would definitely recommend Claire for any conveyancing matters in the future.
