What clients say about Leading Property Lawyers
The firm specialises in residential conveyancing and property transactions, with clear expertise in efficient, timely purchases, remortgages and chains. Clients praise their streamlined online system and proactive case progression. Valued soft skills include clear, frequent communication, responsiveness, professionalism, patience (especially with first‑time buyers), attentiveness, and a client‑focused, reassuring manner that reduces stress during moves.
I was disappointed with my experience using LPL for my property purchase. The main issues were communication and accuracy. Throughout the transaction, I found communication to be poor. I made several calls requesting a callback, but these were often not returned. This was particularly difficult as I was working overseas in a significantly different time zone and relied heavily on prompt responses. The regular excuse was they could not phone an international phone number, despite me only providing a UK number. More concerning was an error in the purchase price recorded on my file. I had provided the correct purchase price from the outset in the initial paperwork and also discussed the figures by phone before instruction because the purchase included a discount. Despite this, the incorrect price remained on their system and was only identified at completion, which meant I had to arrange additional funds at very short notice. During the complaints process, the firm maintained that I had originally provided the wrong figure, but they were unable to provide evidence to support that assertion when asked. I found this disappointing given that I held documentation showing the correct price had been supplied from the beginning. They acknowledged some shortcomings and offered a goodwill payment. However, I did not feel this fully reflected the stress and inconvenience caused. My experience was that the transaction was completed, but the service fell short in terms of communication, attention to detail, and accountability when errors were raised. LPL's latest tactic has been to come up with new reasons for their errors, or revert to old excuses which they can't provide evidence to support.
We are sorry that you were unhappy with our service. As you have left the review anonymously, please do let us know some further details in order that we can review and respond accordingly.
Utterly unsatisfactory experience with this company. They made buying and selling a nightmare. Avoid at all costs. From repeated administrative errors, rude and dismissive solicitors, poor communication and glacially slow service, this made our moving process incredibly stressful, frustrating, difficult and upsetting. I do not usually leave negative reviews but I wouldn’t want anyone to go through the same ordeal as us. The company have also failed to respond to my complaint.
We have been unable to identify you as a client and have requested further information from you in order that we can investigate and address any concerns.
Entire chain at wits end with LPL. Lack of follow up , no call backs and agents and all parties desperate to follow up and get details. Unprofessional behaviour.
Most arrogant unprofessional lawyers I have come across rude and extremely slow . Even after 6 months and a pmortgage offer extension they have failed to complete my purchase . I have lost lost all confidence in their staff especially Sonia bains who has delayed completion at every opportunity and ignored my interests unprofessionally To add insult to injury they have charged £3500 in legal fees for a property purchase of £225k I have now to start again with a new mortgage offer with another lawyers it’ appears wasting my time and money with slow unprofessional people . Would never recommend this firm to anyone looking for a professional service . Please look at the reviews and you will see others suffering like me . Meanwhile the higher magnet have ignored request for a call back . As a client I was let in the dark and ignored they moved at their own pace to rack up a bill and not even deliver in that
We are sorry that your experience was not as good as expected and would like to address the concerns set out in your review. We take these allegations very seriously and would ask that you get in touch to provide further information at the earliest opportunity.
Absolutely awful. No communication throughout, having to constantly chase and never being able to get through to anyone. Voicemail 90% of the time or when the receptionist did promise a phone call back, it never arrived. Significantly delayed purchase and highly unprofessional. Would never recommend this solicitor when purchasing a house. Avoid at all costs.
We are sorry that you have had a poor experience and take these matters very seriously. We cannot recognise your transaction based on the information provided so please do get in touch to let us know some more detail to enable us to assist.
We did not use this company directly as our solicitor but someone else within our chain used this company for their conveyancing services and it affected us so badly we feel the need to leave a review to warn others. This company, inparticularly solicitor Soh Sohail, has made the process so much harder than what it needed to be due to such poor communication and delayed responses to urgent enquiries. The process ended up taking 10 months, and that was partly down to the solicitors taking weeks to respond to urgent emails. When our solicitor attempted to call she either couldn’t get through to anyone at all, or the call handler never seemed to be available, and was told to email, however the emails were not responded to in a prompt manner. The solicitor is that incompetent he almost lost his clients their buyer and the chain was about to fall through due to such delayed and poor communication. Caused a lot of unnecessary stress, would advise anyone to completely avoid this company at all costs.
We have just used LPL to buy/sell our home and thought our case handler, Sneha Rayat, was brilliant. She was friendly, professional, happy to help and very quick to respond to any queries we had. We would recommend to anyone, Thank you Sneha!
We are delighted to read your feedback and thank you for letting us know.
William represented us in the purchase of our first home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor. He was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, always responding to emails quickly and keeping us well informed every step of the way. He was extremely thorough and proactive, chasing up enquiries without us ever needing to ask. Thanks to his efficiency and dedication, we completed our purchase within just a matter of a couple of months. We highly recommend William to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and professional conveyancer. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful process feel so straightforward. ✨😊
We appreciate your detailed feedback and will certainly share it with the team - thank you!
We used LPL for both our sale and purchase and have been extremely happy with the service provided. Our solicitor was Erica Leon and she has been fantastic throughout the whole journey. Her response time to calls and emails are impeccable and nothing was too much trouble when we had plenty of questions. If we move again in the future, I would certainly use LPL again and would request Erica to act on our behalf.
We are delighted you enjoyed our service and appreciate your positive review, which we will pass on to Erica and the team.
Great service, really helpful when buying our first home.
Thank you for your excellent rating! We’re delighted you found the team helpful during your purchase.

LPL failed to complete my purchase. Communication is appalling, you cannot speak with your solicitor via email or phone. The complaints team and the staff who respond to reviews are at times rude and made claims that were not factually accurate. They wasted my time for months without providing proper reasoning. It's also telling that after I changed to a more expensive firm my new solicitor was able to complete the case in good time and communicate with me during the process. The case was in fact not complex and did not warrant the significant delays LPL put me through. I do not recommend this firm; instruct a more professional firm.

We are sorry that you have chosen not to share your details with us to enable us to identify a transaction to review and act on your feedback.

Be careful as they sneak in extra fees without telling you and amending the completion statement without your consent. Having to now take this to the Ombudsman
