Very bad never agan with this company I lost 3 buyer due to delay they are very liars i cant bleieve they are a solicitors Please avoid hs legal solicitors

I would strongly advise anyone not to use this firm based on my experience. What should have been a straightforward transfer of equity turned into a 6–7 month ordeal due entirely to their lack of care, organisation, and urgency. This process should have taken 1–4 weeks. There were no negotiations required, no legal advice needed, and all documentation was already in order. Despite this, progress was painfully slow and communication was consistently poor. From the outset, I made it clear that my situation was urgent and sensitive. I was buying the property from my ex-partner, and delays were putting me at genuine risk due to an ongoing history of intimidation and abusive behaviour from her and her family. I explained this several times, yet the firm showed no urgency, no empathy, and no effort to prioritise the matter. Their delays had serious financial consequences. My mortgage term expired during their period of inaction, causing my repayments to double overnight. My ex refused to contribute, leaving me to pay nine months of double mortgage payments entirely on my own. Throughout this time, the firm failed to make any meaningful progress. They also misplaced my paperwork, denied it, and created unnecessary stress, financial loss, and emotional hardship. It became clear they were not capable of handling even a basic transfer of equity. I eventually left the firm and appointed a new solicitor, who completed the entire transfer in 7 days — clearly demonstrating how avoidable these delays were. Despite delivering an incomplete and unacceptable service, the firm still demanded payment. I ultimately paid around 90% of their fees, not because they had earned it, but because after two exhausting years dealing with the property situation, the loss of my father, and nearly losing my mother, I simply had no strength left to challenge them further. In my opinion, this firm fell far below the standards expected of a competent legal practice. If you value your time, money, or mental wellbeing, I would strongly recommend avoiding this firm. Please avoid mr Jawad Mahmood

Cash Sale purchase that took almost 3 months,should have been a lot quicker, had to chase HS Legal every step of the way.The whole industry wants a remake,council searches still done manually in 2026 is a absolute joke.No survery cash sale both ways so should have taken 4-5 weeks maximum.

Team delivered a good service. The overall transaction processing was done in 4 months. Reasonable price. What could be improved in the future is proactive communication- share a list of pending queries, more advice on risks related to potential negative impact to the buyers.

I had a great experience with HS Legal Solicitors from start to finish. The team kept me informed throughout the entire conveyancing process, providing regular updates and responding to my queries in a timely manner, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. Their fees were very competitive, especially considering the high quality service they delivered. I would highly recommend HS Legal Solicitors to anyone looking for reliable and professional conveyancers. A truly outstanding service from beginning to end. I'm pleased I worked with them.

Absloutely shocking - avoid at all costs!

Has been the best experience we have had with conveyancing. Always responds promptly and completely looked after our interests. Excellent customer experience, thank you HS Legal.

1 Star – Completely Unprofessional, Extreme Delays, and Zero Communication ​I strongly advise against using HS Legal Solicitors (specifically Jawad Mahmood). ​Communication was a nightmare throughout the entire process. He consistently ignored emails for days, declined my phone calls, and even switched off his mobile phone entirely when I tried to reach him for urgent updates. ​My offer on the property was accepted in late March, and I was assured that completion would take place by late May or mid-June. Instead, it was dragged out until July 31st, leaving me stranded and forcing me to pay out-of-pocket for two weeks in a hotel. ​To make matters worse, in mid-September, when I contacted the management agency for permission to let the property, I was shocked to discover that completion formalities were STILL not finalized. Due to outstanding documents (Deed of Covenant) and unpaid fees (£500+) caused by his incompetence, the management company refuses to recognize me as the owner and has blocked me from renting the flat out. ​Because of this ongoing negligence, I am now losing £200 every single week in rental income. Shocking lack of professionalism, zero accountability, and complete disregard for the client. Avoid at all costs.
