I work in home sales and can understand first hand how challenging buying a house can be if you have the wrong conveyancing solicitor.
I have to say I did do my research and was impressed by the reviews I read about John M Lewis.
Right from the start they were responsive and attentive, sometimes responding to emails within minutes of me sending them.
Our house sale and subsequent purchase were difficult and complicated but Wendy was always on hand to advise, always giving me realistic, practical advise, not what she thought I wanted to hear to make her life easier!
I honestly think that if

Very impressed with the handling of our purchase by Rachel Kirkley and her assistant Francesca. Made the process as smooth as it could be and we felt she was always working in our interest. It was nice to actually be able to speak to a solicitor!
Would highly recommend and will use again.

I have used Lisa Wills, Wendy Kinsey and other team members on many occasions both personally and professionally. They have gone out of their way providing helpful further details when required and always keep me informed through out. They will return calls, emails and even during Lock Down, I didn't experience any issues, someone was always there for me. Thank you for everything John M Lewis

We have recently used John M Lewis for our house move and were extremely happy with everything they did. Due to the fast responses and detailed information it allowed our move to go through smoothly and quickly with no hiccups.
I will definitely be recommending them to other people we know who are planning on moving house. A special mention to Jo who was our assigned conveyencer, who dealt with all our queries. Great company all round.

I have used John M Lewis to first buy my house and then to sell my previous property. In both instances, John M Lewis has delivered a great service. I was kept up to date on every stage, all documents were shared with me online securely, phone calls and emails were sent to me frequently as required. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John M Lewis to my friends and family.
