Wonderful Experience

5

Chris worked tirelessly to complete on our house. He was incredibly responsive to any queries I had throughout the process. He offered advice and guidance and never left a stone unturned in relation to the contracts. I am forever grateful that Chris was our conveyancer for us first time buyers. Thank you Chris.

Smooth collaboration during a complex property auction purchase

5

I had a complex case involving a property purchase via modern auction, which came with its own set of challenges. Chris was usually quick to respond and maintained good communication throughout the process. Despite the intricacies, we managed to bring the case to a successful conclusion, for which I’m truly grateful. I would definitely recommend working with him.

Thank you Chris & Olivia

5

Chris and Olivia have worked tirelessly these last few weeks, both to get me to completion before the 1st April and to also keep the whole chain moving forward with very difficult solicitors further up the chain. I will definitely be recommending them to friends and family for their efficiency, responsiveness and for BL&J being nearly £1000 cheaper than conveyancers recommended by my estate agents. Thank you!

Amazing

5

I cannot recommend Chris Courtenay and Olivia Andrew at Bell Lamb Joynson Runcorn enough. They have been absolutely amazing throughout the entire process of buying our first home. From start to finish, the entire experience only took 8 weeks, and their professionalism and dedication were evident every step of the way.
They made sure to keep us updated throughout all the checks, ensuring that we were always in the loop and never felt unsure about what was happening. I particularly loved the app they provided, which allowed us to track our progress in real-time—such a helpful tool that made the process so much smoother.
We were initially hesitant about which solicitors to use, but after hearing great reviews about Bell Lamb Joynson, we decided to give them a go. Without a doubt, they have proven to be the best choice for us. Their communication was clear, their service was efficient, and they really made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and straightforward. We truly couldn't have asked for a better team to guide us through our home purchase. If you're looking for a reliable, professional, and friendly solicitor service, look no further than Bell Lamb Joynson.

Used as conveyancers for our house sale and purchase. Easy app to use to track progress (although felt experience for previous house purchase with BLJ was smoother) Would absolutely use again. No complaints.
