Christopher Maughan and Kimberley Treece handled my conveyancing. They completed the whole process at a very fast pace with utmost attention to detail. They kept me informed throughout with regular emails and phone calls. They were always there to respond to queries and reachable. I will be looking to have the same team for my next house. Thank you to both of you for your support and professionalism.

Excellent service from Mandy, Wendy and Jackie! We had an awful experience with another national conveyancer so swapped to John M Lewis. From day one they have been in constant communication and kept us informed every step of the way. We had a few hurdles come up which were dealt with and resolved very efficiently. I couldn't fault one aspect of our experience. Thankyou so much!

As a first time buyer on my own, the whole process was daunting. I had Wendy and her team and they were really excellent. I hit a few snags along the way and I can honestly say Wendy and her team did a more than a great job sorting everything out. I felt they cared and would definitely use them again and will be recommending them.

Rachel Kirkley, Kirsty Smith and Francesca were fantastic in helping me along the move process as a first time buyer. For a conveyancer you can't go wrong with John M Lewis. I have no doubt you'll receive the same outstanding service. Everything was done in a timely, smooth manner with full correspondence for each step. What I thought would be a stressful process was made easy by this team. 5/5 stars!

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 I had not had the support I had from John M Lewis we may not have continued with our purchase, but here I am, sat in the house of my dreams :-. Thank you Wendy and Team for making it possible.

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.
