Excellent and personal service from start to finish

I cannot rate HJL highly enough; and specifically Britney Chen, the paralegal who was our main point of contact throughout. From start to finish her service was exemplary; always available, easy to get into contact with and provided both quick and thorough responses - I felt secure and informed throughout the transaction.

Will definitely be using HJL again in future should I need further conveyancing work.

Outstanding service

I was recommended to Simon Leo as he’d did an amazing job with my sons house sale
From day one he was very approachable and personable and nothing was too much trouble
His replies were always swift and went out of his way to answer any concerns
The estate agent also could not praise him enough
Exceptional service of which I’m very grateful

Helpful, efficient and purposeful experience

Our experience with Simon was great. The service was thorough and extremely efficient. Simon and his team responded promptly to my emails and whenever I left a voicemail, I was called back the same day every time. The buying and selling process was not easy for my family and we had so many bumps in the road, and Simon was always calm, helpful and professional. He made everything easier and I always felt like we were in safe hands, looking for a solution.

Calm and considered expertise in the face of adversity

Simon was always calm, considered and incredibly knowledgable in the face of an extremely complicated and difficult conveyancing transaction. He has nerves of steel and an equally sharp mind. He is always charming and kind and I can't recommend him highly enough. He and his excellent team have always managed my immediate family's conveyancing needs and he always will. I have recommended him to many friends and our wider family who have been equally happy and are now enthusiastic supporters.

Amazing professionals

HJ&L were tremendously helpful. We hired them for the purchase of our house and their professionalism was so good that we rehired them for the sell of that same property a few years later. They were constantly providing updates and when situations became complex they were always on point. Overall 5 out of 5!!

Simon and his team assisted with the purchase of my house in 2017 and the subsequent sale in 2024. Both transactions progressed seamlessly. I was given very clear instructions as to what was expected from me and the team kept me updated regularly as things progressed. The team were efficient and progressed both the purchase and the sale in a timely manner. Thank you

I had an excellent experience with Hill Johnson & Leo Solicitors during the process of purchasing my home. Robbie was an incredible support throughout the entire journey. She was always professional, approachable, and incredibly thorough in her work. She made sure to keep me informed at every step, addressing all my concerns and ensuring the process was as smooth as possible. Her dedication and attention to detail gave me great peace of mind during what can often be a stressful time. I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from the entire team at Hill Johnson & Leo and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and efficient solicitors.
