I could not fault Lily's advice and service during the process of buying a house. As a first time buyer, I had loads of questions, and Lily always got back to me promptly with clear explanations and responses. I also needed to complete within a certain timeframe, and they ensured that this happened and we were not held up at all. I'll definitely be recommending to family and friends.

Holly dealt with my recent case she was very approachable kind and professional kept me informed on a weekly and sometimes daily basis she went above and beyond to help me in what was a difficult time for me personally. I would highly recommend Holly and would definitely use her again if required.
Stephen
We had a great experience with Lily and Olivia and Bell Lamb and Joynson. It only took 2 months to complete on our house and despite me being a nervous wreck Lily was patient throughout the entire process.
Daniel

Sam
What can I say about Daren Jones, he was so understanding and helpful throughout my case from the start of my case and to the hearing was always on hand when I needed advice. Would definitely recommend Bell, Lamb & Joynson Solicitors.
