From beginning to end of the process nothing was too much trouble! Explanations were clear, communication was excellent, timely and in a professional but very personable manner. Can’t recommend enough. Thanks for making the process so reassuringly easy.

I would highly recommend Jacqueline Byrd. She is polite, positive and very efficient. Responds quickly to emails and calls. Stuck with us through a collapsed sale and the next one, together with a new build purchase. A lovely lady.

I have used John M Lewis now for the third time for purchasing and selling my firsts property and purchasing the second one.
Very nice service they answer any query I have.
Keep me in the loop, provide options if needed and no delays what so ever.
I will recommend them for anyone.

I was recommended John M Lewis solicitors by my estate agent.
Emma Smedley was great from start to finish. She made what was a very nice overwhelming time, pretty seamless. She responded promptly to any questions I had, and was easily contactable either by email or phone.
She was caring and empathic, whilst remaining professionals and informative. I would highly recommend.

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.

We used John M Lewis & Co Solicitors and found them to be very efficient and thorough in explaining the entire process. Although our original caseworker unfortunately left midway, Sanni stepped in seamlessly and ensured everything stayed on schedule — even managing to complete everything before the stamp duty deadline.
Despite being under extra pressure with a heavier workload, Sanni always responded promptly to my calls and emails. We explained that we were pushed for time, and he did his absolute best to accommodate us within our required timeframe. He was helpful, friendly, and clearly very knowledgeable.
I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending John M Lewis & Co Solicitors to all my friends and family. We’ll definitely be using them again for all our future conveyancing needs.
Thank you for maintaining the highest professional standards — exactly what you need when navigating such a stressful process.

All I can say is WOW, thank you so much Jacqueline.
Me and my partner are first time buyers, but have never had to worry about the stress of buying a house, wondering what the next steps are or how the process will work. Jacqueline has been amazing at keeping us updated, informing us about the next steps throughout and what we need to do.
You hear of people having to constantly chase their solicitors, but this wasn’t the case at all. And we have just completed in 3 months!!
Thank you so much Jacqueline, we will be back in the future and recommending you!

I never leave a good review! But this solicitors deserve one. I have used them several times for services such as house purchases and will writing and I will never use anyone else. Friends, affordable, on the ball and fast. Jacqueline did my last house purchase and she was so fast and friendly, chasing me!
