We used John M Lewis when buying our first home in 2020, and we didn’t hesitate to return to them again for our sale and purchase in 2025. On both occasions, Jo and the team were consistently professional, proactive, and always easy to reach whenever we had questions. The whole process was handled smoothly and with great attention to detail, which really helped reduce the stress of moving. We had a genuinely great experience and would highly recommend John M Lewis to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive conveyancing team.

We recently used John M Lewis & Co Solicitors and were incredibly fortunate to have Kimberley Slater take over our case. From the moment she became involved, everything changed for the better. We had previously been so dissatisfied with how our matter was being handled by our former solicitor, Sanni Olakunle, that we were seriously considering leaving the firm and submitting a formal complaint. However, Kimberley’s professionalism, determination, and compassion completely turned things around — she restored our confidence almost immediately. This was a highly time-sensitive and emotionally charged matter, yet Kimberley approached every challenge with remarkable focus, efficiency, and commitment. She went above and beyond to drive progress, maintaining clear communication and ensuring that no detail was ever overlooked. Her precision, proactivity, and ability to keep everything moving under immense pressure were nothing short of outstanding. Kimberley combines exceptional technical expertise with genuine empathy — a rare and invaluable quality. Her calm, organised approach and sincere care for her clients transformed what had been an extremely stressful experience into one that felt manageable and fully supported. We cannot thank Kimberley Slater enough for her hard work, professionalism, and unwavering dedication. She is an absolute credit to John M Lewis & Co Solicitors, and the firm is extremely fortunate to have her. We would not hesitate to use their services again purely because of the trust and respect she has earned through her exemplary conduct and exceptional results.

I can’t thank Georgina and Team Gillott enough for the excellent service they provided throughout the Transfer of Equity on my home. Despite several challenges caused by my mortgage company, Georgina was thorough, clear in her communication, and followed up regularly to chase the process. She contacted me to provide updates (and sometimes non-updates through no fault of her own) frequently and I found her extremely friendly and understanding through such a stressful process. I would highly recommend Georgina’s team and John M Lewis for conveyancing matters, and will be returning to them in the future!

Really poor experience overall. I was constantly chasing for updates. The sale ended up taking over six months, which is crazy considering there was no chain, so it should’ve been straightforward. Because it was dragging on so long, I actually changed my mortgage rate to try and get a better deal and luckily I did, because we only completed two days after the original date. They even asked me to look for an extension before realising one had already been done. I know the sellers solicitors weren’t great, but I honestly think if John M Lewis had been more proactive, we’d have completed a lot sooner. The whole thing just felt really unorganised and stressful.

Our experience with this firm for conveyancing was very disappointing from start to finish. Communication was inconsistent, and we often had to chase for updates or clarification on important matters. The process became drawn out and frustrating, and unfortunately, we never ended up completing our move. While I can’t say for certain that the issues were entirely down to the solicitor, I do feel that a more proactive and responsive approach might have helped achieve a better outcome. Overall, it was a stressful experience, and I wouldn’t choose to use this firm again for conveyancing.
