Excellent and professional service

Leigh, as my conveyancer, demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout the conveyancing process. The information and reports were very clear, providing valuable insights for decision-making. Their attention to details was evident, and they promptly and quickly answered all my questions. Overall, a professional and reliable service. I'd definitely recommend her to anybody.

First time buyers

Recently we completed on the purchase of our first home with the help of Simon Leo.  He has been friendly, professional, and always happy to answer our questions about the process. Simon & his team respond promptly to emails and always pick up the phone, and have been very proactive in communicating with us.
We would definitely recommend Hill Johnson & Leo Solicitors and in particular, Simon Leo to our friends and family.
Thank you Simon! Happy first time buyers Arjan&Kasia

Huge thanks to Leigh for both handling the sale and purchase of my properties. She was helpful and contactable throughout and went the extra mile helping me with a final query on the day of completion when I really needed her.

House Sale

From start to finish, the entire process of conducting the sale of our house through Hill, Johnson and Leo was thoroughly professional, enthusiastic and efficient. Simon Leo and his team made the experience exceptionally stressless for us, ensuring that no details were left to chance while simultaneously maintaining an excellent standard of communication and client consideration, both with us and with the legal team of our buyers. I cannot recommend Simon Leo highly enough, your legal requirements are in very capable hands with these solicitors.

Sale of House

There were a number of problems with this sale, one I anticipated, the rest were slightly 'unusual'...

However, they were all dealt with promptly and I was kept up to speed at all times.

Many thanks Leigh and team.

We were recommended Leigh Robert’s for our property sale and we are delighted to have chosen her and her team. It was a lengthy process to many delays from the opoosite side but Leigh was just amazing in communicating and updating us regularly. She responds ever so quickly it’s a fantastic team. We can’t recommend her highly enough ! A real asset !
