My first property purchase and I was looked after every step of the way. Joe and colleagues chased the other side without me having to ask, kept me informed at just the right level, responded to questions quickly and professionally. Exchange was swift when I asked for it to be and when completion day came it went totally smoothly, meaning I could move in that day. Highly recommended. Thank you!

We used So Legal when we sold our property, a Smallholding, so not the standard house sale. James Halpin and Katie Bacchus were both extremely helpful and dealt with any queries, whether by email or on the phone, promptly in plain English. They kept us clearly informed during the process, which went smoothly and to the timetable and price they set out. Therefore I would recommend So Legal to anyone looking for a great firm of solicitors.

I have recently sold my property. My solicitor Katie was very helpful, efficient and quick to respond to any queries. The whole process was completed within 7 weeks. I would not hesitate to recommend Katie.

I was recommended SO Legal by a family member and they exceeded my expectations. I was purchasing my first property and Victoria was my conveyancer and put my worries at ease every step of the way. When there were a couple of bumps along the way, her communication was brilliant, always calling me to make sure I was aware of everything I needed to know. Everyone else I had contact with from the firm was polite, punctual and very professional. Highly recommend!

Needed a Statutory Declaration signed for a new commercial lease and Dominic Mercer in Brighton was more than happy to help. It was quick, easy and means we'll definitely be back if we need further assistance. Thanks so much.

Nicole represented us with my parents house sale. She was so helpful and professional throughout the whole process and was always available to assist with any concerns or enquiries we had. I can thoroughly recommend her and her team. Fantastic service.

The legal service and support provided by our solicitor Dylan Leet was first class. The brief was well understood, and the returned quality of work was excellent. We were on a tight timeframe, the turnaround was exactly as promised. Thank you Dylan for your services in 2023, will look to use again in 2024.

We have used So Legal twice for property buy and sell and also for our wills and cannot fault the service provided. From start to finish on all transactions we were kept up to date and cannot express our gratitude for the speed and service we received.

Joe at SO Legal was excellent throughout our sale and purchase. Joe was quick to respond, made everything really simple for us and chased regularly on our behalf.
We would highly recommend Joe, and would use him again. He certainly goes against the usual unresponsive solicitor stereotype!

Extremely pleased with the service provided by Joe Kennedy and SO legal. Quick to respond to queries and very helpful throughout the sale of my property. Highly recommended.

We used SO Legal for sale of our leasehold and purchase of freehold. Joe Kennedy acted as our conveyancing solicitor and did an exceptional job, we were most impressed with his responsiveness and attention to detail. Joe was attentive and always at the end of the phone if we needed anything. SO legal were not the cheapest but also far from the most expensive. The service we received was flawless and well worth the money. We would recommend SO Legal to anyone.

Joe at SO Legal acted for us in the sale of our house and I have to say that he was excellent. He responded to every email and call almost immediately and was really clear and helpful. Fantastic service.

Can not recommend Joe Kennedy enough! He really went above and beyond our expectations. As first time buyers, it was a nervous experience to begin with, but Joe made it much easier. He was super helpful and was available to talk through our concerns. We will definitely be recommending him and SO Legal to our friends and family.

Joe Kennedy at SO Legal was given, what I considered to be, an impossible timetable to achieve a completion of our property sale, to take place 4 weeks after acceptance of the offer. Circumstances dictated that it would never be a straightforward affair, but completion went ahead on time, and Joe was actually ready early!
Despite inherent complications, the transaction went smoothly throughout, and we were kept fully informed of events every step of the way.
This was not the first time SO Legal have acted on our behalf, and it certainly won’t be the last. Joe and Georgia are a great team and I recommend them very highly.
