Excellent at every stage

I have used Simon Leo in the past and had no hesitation in asking him to take on the conveyancing for a commercial property owned by me and other relatives. It was far from a simple sale with problems caused by the buyer and a less than helpful relative, but he was helpful and understanding throughout dealing promptly with any issues. I cannot recommend Simon Leo more highly.

We are delighted that you had no hesitation in returning to Simon for your commercial property sale, Jeremy. Navigating a complex transaction with external and internal challenges is never easy, and we are so glad Simon's prompt, helpful, and understanding approach made all the difference.

Great experience

Simon and the team were great from start to finish. They handled our sale and purchase and even during what was a frustrating process at times, Simon was calm, efficient and re-assuring. We were incredibly grateful when they were able to turn around the exchange with a couple of hours notice, when, having had a delay on our sellers end, we thought we were going to have to move our completion date out. I’d highly recommend HJ&L!

Above and beyond

Simon handled deftly, expertly and patiently the sale of our apartment, a process that to us as first-time sellers seemed rather convoluted because of the extensive legal paperwork required. It was a huge relief to be in the safe hands of the forbearing and accommodating Simon. He really went above and beyond for us.

Very satisfied.

We used Simon for our conveyancing for a sale and purchase of properties. Simon's professionalism, expertise and friendliness made what turned out to be a very slow process not only more bearable but a positive outcome. He was relentless at chasing the other parties which was key to our completion. We have dealt with the Simon in the past and would not hesitate seeking his expertise again.

Simon Leo was excellent! He and the team simultaneously handled our sale and purchase in what was a long and bumpy chain really well. They were excellent and very responsive at communicating with us in plain English (!), and processed all the paperwork very efficiently. Whilst they may be more expensive than the "cheap on-line DIY" conveyancing companies, they were worth every penny as they just got the job done quickly, professionally and without adding to our stresses or causing any unnecessary delays.

Have used HJ&L Solicitors for over 20 years for a number of property transactions and they always get the job done - my latest sale and purchase took just over two months and the team pushed ahead and achieved completion just before the SDLT increase. Very happy and will undoubtedly use again.

Simon and his team assisted with the purchase of my house in 2017 and the subsequent sale in 2024. Both transactions progressed seamlessly. I was given very clear instructions as to what was expected from me and the team kept me updated regularly as things progressed. The team were efficient and progressed both the purchase and the sale in a timely manner. Thank you
