Helpful and friendly

I had a great experience working with JMLewis for my Transfer of Equity - everything was quick and simple and everyone was very friendly over the phone and when I popped into the offer. I'm also working with them through a house purchase and can recommend for both processes.

Excellent Service from Start to Finish

I used John M Lewis & Co when buying a property, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Gail Butler, the senior property solicitor handling my case, was absolutely outstanding. She was highly professional, extremely knowledgeable, and truly dedicated.

There was a historic covenant on the property dating back to 1926, but Gail didn’t give up until she secured an indemnity from the seller to protect my rights. Her persistence and attention to detail gave me real peace of mind.

What impressed me even more was that Gail personally answered calls and kept me regularly updated throughout the process. It’s rare to find that level of commitment these days.

Even the receptionist was courteous and professional, which reflects the overall high standard of the firm.

I’m genuinely glad I chose John M Lewis & Co and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and thorough legal support in property matters.

Gail and the were what I would describe as absolute super heroes! Our chain was fraught with issues and Gail and the team kept focussed and navigated the path through. I am aware of other issues in the legal process however I am a certified 'Team Butler' fanatic and just can not rave about the her and the team enough.

You would do no better other than to use these services.

(btw, this is n ow my 3rd move completed with them, that should say enough in it own right).

Overall a good experience, information was shared when needed and kept in the loop. Unfortunately there was a mistake made and we were asked to pay more money, until I found that there was a sizable difference in some numbers. Otherwise great service.
