A very positive experience!

We had a very positive experience hiring Smart Legal for the complicated process of selling our home. Conveyancer, Stephan Peiris, was our case handler & he was absolutely fantastic! Very calm, always professional, knowledgeable & politely patient. The process of selling our home was an extremely long & arduous one, but Stephan's calm demeanour made the process a lot less stressful.

The only reason this isn't a 5 star is due to a few minor oversights that were made. All in all it was a very positive experience & I would absolutely recommend Smart Legal (& Stephan) to family & friends, should the need arise.

Overall Pleased

It was a pleasure to have Conveyancer – Stephan Peiris working for us for the successful sale of our house. Smart Legal followed us on our 8 month journey to sell our property and provided us with the information, advice and guidance we needed to meet all legal requirements. A few minor mistakes were made along the way from Smart Legal but this was easily rectified when they were made aware.

Awful beyond your wildest dreams

The worst company I have ever dealt with. They suggested they might sue me for my low review so I would be suspicious of the proportion of high reviews here. We had weeks of sleepless nights because of their incompetence and our completion was delayed while they requested signiatures from deceased relatives and promised phone calls that never materialised. They revealed confidential information about a family member's bank statement. Please try to use a firm where an actual solicitor deals with every aspect of your purchase. We would have been happy to pay more for better service, instead, we paid more for worse.

Very professional and supportive

I am pleased with the service I received from Dulanga. The process was handled efficiently, with clear communication throughout and prompt responses to any questions I had. She ensured all legal aspects were managed thoroughly, helping the transaction go through smoothly. I would recommend Dulanga to anyone looking for reliable and professional conveyancing support.

The best property solicitors I've had to date.

I've bought / sold a number of properties and Smart Legal have been the best to date.

I had a particularly tricky sale process, and they managed to get through it.

Kathy was the solicitor on the case, and Daisy was there helping out along the way and making sure everything was done, she was great 👍

Leasehold flat sale

My flat sale was handled by Daisy and Kathy both of whom did a first class job. I was kept informed and reassured at all stages of the process and the flat sale was achieved in a timely manner.
Based on my experience, I would have no hesitation in recommending Smart Legal and would be happy to use them again.

Dilini is everything I have selected in describing Smart Legal. Dilini was always available to discuss any issues or concerns. Nothing was ever to much trouble. Dilini is very professional, attentive, knowledgeable, informative and a pleasure to deal with. The process of us buying or new home was made easy with Dilini’s assistance.

We are incredibly grateful to Dulanga for her exceptional work on our property purchase. She was deeply involved in our case, consistently staying on top of every detail and ensuring timely communication with all parties. Her responsiveness and dedication were truly impressive. Without her commitment and persistence, we wouldn’t have been able to complete our purchase in such a short time. Thank you, Dulanga, for your outstanding support!
