Great experience

Simon and the team were great from start to finish. They handled our sale and purchase and even during what was a frustrating process at times, Simon was calm, efficient and re-assuring. We were incredibly grateful when they were able to turn around the exchange with a couple of hours notice, when, having had a delay on our sellers end, we thought we were going to have to move our completion date out. I’d highly recommend HJ&L!

Simon handled deftly, expertly and patiently the sale of our apartment, a process that to us as first-time sellers seemed rather convoluted because of the extensive legal paperwork required. It was a huge relief to be in the safe hands of the forbearing and accommodating Simon. He really went above and beyond for us.

Very satisfied.

We used Simon for our conveyancing for a sale and purchase of properties. Simon's professionalism, expertise and friendliness made what turned out to be a very slow process not only more bearable but a positive outcome. He was relentless at chasing the other parties which was key to our completion. We have dealt with the Simon in the past and would not hesitate seeking his expertise again.

Simply The Best In The Business

I needed a conveyancing form to be checked over prior to signing it and got in contract with Leigh Roberts (Partner) at HJL... What can I say except, exceptional service, fast, efficient, straightforward information & feedback which allowed me to make quick decisions on what was needed. I would without doubt recommend HJL for property conveyancing without exception and I will 100% be using them again.

from Hill Johnson & Leo

Thank you for the glowing review! We are delighted that Leigh provided the fast, efficient, and straightforward service you needed to move forward with confidence. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to working with you again in the future!

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.

Dear Paul, we are very grateful to you for taking the time to leave your comprehensive review. Thank you both so much for this wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your sale went so smoothly. Leigh and her team work hard to ensure that all clients are kept uptodate and feel reassured throughout. Moving home can be a hectic time, so knowing we made the process feel stress-free and supportive means the world to us. Congratulations on your sale, and we wish you both the very best in your next chapter! All the best, Hill Johnson & Leo.

Leigh Roberts at HJL was recommended to me by my estate agent when I first started marketing my property and what excellent advice it turned out to be !! I was really impressed by the smoothness and clarity of the HJL conveyancing process and Leigh’s calm and professional approach was second to none – I would have no hesitation in advising anybody to instruct Leigh in the future as she fully deserves this five star rating.

from Hill Johnson & Leo

Dear Keith. Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear you were impressed with the smooth and clear conveyancing process and that Leigh provided calm, professional support throughout. We really appreciate your recommendation and five-star rating.

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.

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.

Thank you so much for your kind comments Astrid. Leigh and her team work hard to ensure that all her clients are kept well advised and given clear and concise advice. She collaborates with all parties to ensure a smooth transaction. We wish you all the best and please do let us know if we can assist you further in the future. Regards, Hill Johnson & Leo
