At first thought was good but I ended up having 4 different solicitors felt like just getting passed around only found out from my niece that I was at a different court just felt like I didn’t matter when this was the worst situation I’d ever been in felt like little support in between.And on the day twice solicitor changed and seemed like the case was getting passed around

We had David M while buying our first home. He was professional, quick to respond and always available to contact. Made the process much less stressful and kept us updated all along. Next time we buy a house, we’ll use BLJ again

Popped in to the Maghull Branch to see Mr Leeman (who was very highly recommended by a very good friend) but I was most impressed with the lady on reception named Angie. She put my mind completely at ease, listened, took a proper interest in me and made me feel like there was a positive answer for all of my problems. I didn't feel like 'just another punter'. I felt understood and finally appreciated. So I'll go back there again now with any legal matters, because if the receptionist is that good (and Mr Leeman is a real winner too) then they can have all of my business.

Raquel's experience...

I would like to express my appreciation for the excellent service I received throughout the process of purchasing two properties. I was very happy with the way everything was handled.

You were professional and thorough, ensuring that all payments and documents were in order, which gave me confidence and peace of mind during what can often be a stressful time. Your attention to detail and consistent communication were very much appreciated.

The only point I would mention for improvement is that I would have appreciated some support or guidance in arranging the tax payments related to the property sales. That aside, the overall service was excellent.

Thank you again for your hard work and dedication.

Kind regards,
