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!!

Excellent conveyancing service

This is the 3rd time I have used Hill Johnson & Leo for conveyancing services and each time I have had a great service. On this occasion Leigh worked magic to get from final agreed offer to completion within 8 working days. Outstanding effort by all those involved. I can highly recommend. Thankyou

Such great attention to detail and staying on top of all emails from their counterpart, who needed constant pressure exerted upon them to meet required deadlines. Third time using, would highly recommend.

Excellent attention to detail

We really appreciated Simon’s meticulous approach, his attention to detail and his resistance to vendors and agents trying to gloss over things that needed to be properly resolved.

Absolutely first class

Robbie Jackson and Leigh Roberts (as well as their colleagues Kim, Jill and the rest of the team) at HJL are shining stars at the top of their profession. We had an extremely difficult and complicated sale and purchase process with multiple episodes of falling through and complex communication with the other sides involved. HJL’s tenacity, perseverance and attention to detail was paramount in smoothing over the deals. Furthermore, their kindness and friendliness despite some difficult times helped us to feel supported and not alone. We can’t thank them enough.

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.

Great solicitors. We worked with both Leigh and Jill for both our house sale and purchase and they were incredible at making sure there was continuous progress and ensuring we exchanged in time. Thank you for all your hard work!

Buying and selling is very stressful.

I decided to go with a local solicitor. I have to say that I am glad I did. The team here were very helpful throughout and if you asked them a question they would respond. Sometimes it is nice to speak over the phone and I was able to do so here.
They were probably a little bit more expensive then most but then again you get what you pay for.
In an unregulated property market where estate agents only look out for themselves, it is nice to have someone having your best interests in mind. Thumbs up to Leigh and Robbie.
