Fantastic help through a difficult time.
Gemma and Lauren carried out my conveyancing requirements. It was my first property purchase and they helped me through it. They were fantastic.
There were several issues with the seller, including the seller's estate agent adding pressure and demands.
Gemma and Lauren spoke to me on the phone and told me what was really going on. What I needed to be concerned about, and what was just standard affair.

Excellent conveyancing experience
I've used BLJ solicitors 3 times in the last couple of years and the experience has always been excellent in all the stages of the conveyancing process. Chris and Olivia were very professional and knowledgeable. They answered all my queries very quickly and patiently and kept me up to date at all times. The last transaction required some last minute changes and they dealt with it in a fast manner that ensured the agreed timeline for completion was achieved successfully.
A representative from Bell Lamb & Joynson responded to this review on 11 August, 2025:
Dear Roger, Thank you for your continued trust in our team.

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.
