Olivia and Chris were amazing at communicating something that previous solicitors had failed at. There were a few back and forth situations and I was kept up to speed. I can be a pain asking for Information all the time but it was never a problem and received replies in a timely manner. Thank you for everything!

Good service, check for Leasehold Fee before beginning the process.

Dealt with Chris Courtenay who was great throughout and navigated some difficulties from the management company.

Reason for three stars is that they added an additional £270 charge a day before finalising for the property being leasehold. This was not included in the initial quote despite them knowing the property was leasehold and Chris informed me that "it looks like it has been an error on the system when quoted".

Quite disappointing with it being so close to finalising leaving me no ability to dispute so would just advise others to query at the beginning!

I had the pleasure to work with Jim and Jeremy, an extremely professional pair of solicitors in which took upon a difficult challenge. I am incredibly grateful for how hard they worked for me, the results were better than expected. This is Thankyou to their knowledge and organisation- which in hindsight relieved me throughout my case. Also a huge mention to Samantha for being available and communicating well with me throughout.

Claire Manning and her team have always been brilliant throughout the whole process, always being approachable and communicating well, I have never had to chase for any updates, this being the first time i’ve gone through this whole process of purchasing a property I believe it has been made a much better experience knowing Claire and her team have been there on hand to answer any queries via the message page or by phone, I would not hesitate to use BLJ again in future.

If I could give Claire 10 stars I would. She was fantastic throughout the whole process. Communicated each step clearly and kept me well informed. Claire dealt with the purchase of the property swiftly and I was very impressed at the speed to completion. I would definitely recommend BLJ and Claire specifically to anyone looking for conveyancing services. Thanks Claire!
