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.

Timely and Efficient

A seemingly straightforward sale of a freehold cottage in Cornwall. Until past planning issues and Grade 2 listing combined to make it anything but straightforward! A garden on the other side of the road and an open fire with no chimney compounded matters. All were handled with skill and efficiency by Simon Leo and his team. We exchanged and completed within a tight time frame and without undue drama. I have no reservations in commending and recommending Hill Johnson & Leo

Great experience with HJL

Simon was thorough and kept us up to date via regular emails and, where necessary, telephone. It was easy to pop by and drop off any paperwork needed. Our transaction involved a slightly tortuous chain and he navigated it expertly, including dealing with some rather overly thorough enquiries from one of our buyers. We would happily use HJL again, having used them previously.

Leigh has been absolutely fantastic throughout the sale of my property. She gave really clear advice and explanations on key issues and worked well with my buyer’s solicitors to resolve issues and reach exchange and completion on time. I cannot recommend Leigh highly enough, as well as her lovely team. I will certainly come back to Leigh in the future for when we purchase again. Thank you very much indeed.

I worked with Leigh for the recent successful sale of our property and i really could not have asked for a better solicitor for the job - very professional, organised all the way through, and always sorted everything out on her side first for most things so that I could get involved as little as possible. I will definitely be coming back to her for future sales.

Dispelling the stereotypes of Solictors

We couldn’t have been happier with Simon and his team at Hill Johnson & Leo. We sold 2 properties simultaneously with them and they were absolutely faultless throughout. Constant updates on the status of the sales, constant communication when information was needed from us to keep things progressing and also being responsive when ever we had questions for him, really put to bed all of the horror stories you hear about people’s experiences with solicitors when selling houses. We genuinely can’t speak highly enough of our experience with Simon from start to finish and we will most certainly be using him for our house purchase and will be recommending him to anyone who asks for a solicitor in the future. 5 stars isn’t enough for this company!!!

Highly Recommended

We have just completed our house move using Hill, Johnson & Leo and highly recommend their conveyancing services. From start to finish on completion day we were very pleased the way everything was carried out. Simon was proactive, highly professional and kept us updated at every stage. His Paralegal, Pav, kept us informed throughout the process, and was very supportive throughout a notoriously stressful time. They made a reliable, professional and friendly legal team.

We used Hill Johnson and Leo for our recent property purchase and were extremely pleased with the service received from start to finish. Leigh acted on our behalf throughout the transaction and was professional, responsive, and thorough at every stage. Britney also provided excellent support towards the end of the process, helping to ensure everything progressed smoothly through to completion. Communication was clear, queries were dealt with promptly, and the whole process felt well managed from beginning to end. We would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient conveyancer. Thank you, Leigh and Britney, for a great job!

Leigh has been recommend to us by my cousin for being such a reliable and competent solicitor. She has provided my family with advise and has always been one step ahead double checking documents and providing solutions which was very helpful as we were buying our first property. We had many ongoing conversations through emails and she always updated us regularly on the process and answered any questions we had. It was very reassuring to have a solicitor who was open to communicate and reply in a timely manner which made us feel less stressed and overwhelmed with the whole process. Thank you for all your help Leigh, we really appreciate it!

My wife and I recently sold our property using Hill Johnson & Leo as our solicitors, and we couldn't recommend Leigh more highly. From our very first conversation through to completion, she was exceptional in every respect. Leigh's communication was outstanding—she kept us informed at every stage, responded promptly to any questions, and made us feel supported throughout the process. Her professionalism, attention to detail, genuine care, and expert guidance turned what could have been a stressful experience into one that felt smooth, efficient, and reassuring. If you're looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly invested in delivering the best possible service, we wholeheartedly recommend Leigh and the team at Hill Johnson & Leo. You will be in excellent hands. Thank you, Leigh, for making our sale such a positive experience.
