Efficient, Responsive Service. Completed Within Tight Timelines

We recently worked with SO Legal on our company’s purchase of number of different properties and were very pleased with the service provided. James and Judie were highly responsive throughout the process, communicated clearly, and ensured everything progressed smoothly despite the very tight timelines involved.

The transactions were completed efficiently and within the agreed timeframe, and their professionalism gave us confidence at every stage. We appreciate their support and would not hesitate to recommend them or use their services again in the future.

Exceptionally Professional and Reliable

I recently instructed SO Legal for our property transaction and was extremely impressed with the level of service provided. The team conducted themselves with professionalism throughout and demonstrated efficiency at every stage of the process. They were consistently responsive, promptly answered telephone calls, and provided clear and timely updates whenever needed.
What could have been a particularly stressful period was handled with care and competence, making the experience far smoother than expected. I would confidently recommend SO Legal to others and only wish I had engaged them sooner.

Couldn't recommend more

Couldn't recommend more, Dominic and the team wear helpful and informative from start to finish without making me confused with too much legal jargon. This was a very smooth transaction in a complicated house purchase involving 2 different mortgages and the team made it happen quickly without any stress or issues.

We intructed SO Legal for the the purchase of our house. Jessica and Susanna were really helpful in getting what was sometimes a challenging process over the line. The pricing was fair, the documents were always clear, and we could get hold of them any time we needed to. We would definitely recommend SO Legal!

We had an excellent experience with SOLegal, particularly with Jenny, who was outstanding throughout our matter. She was consistently professional, supportive, and incredibly responsive, dealing with any issues quickly and clearly.

Jenny was a pleasure to work with and always kind, helpful, and reassuring. Her professionalism and attention to detail really stood out, and we felt well supported at every stage of the process.

We have been extremely impressed with both Jenny’s service and SOLegal in general, and we will absolutely be using SOLegal again in the future. Highly recommended.

Efficient, friendly and helpful.

Everyone at this company was friendly, helpful and, frankly, a delight to deal with. They handled the sale of my property (in Brighton) efficiently and, were it not for a delay caused by the building's management company, the process would have been completed very quickly and easily. An added bonus is that their fees are extremely competitive. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in using them again. An easy 5 star review from me!

Excellent trademark registration support

I received excellent service from our solicitor, Dylan Leet, and his team at SO Legal. Dylan helped us to successfully register our company trademark in several countries. Throughout, the team provided clear, timely communications and practical advice. I would highly recommend them.

Excellent service from So Legal

Excellent service from So Legal. Our solicitor, Alphonsa Shibu, was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process.

From starting in early October to receiving our house keys on 19 December, the entire process took around 2.5 months, which was incredibly fast. Because of her hard work and efficiency, we were able to receive our keys just before Christmas and celebrate our first Christmas in our first new home, a truly lovely and unforgettable feeling.

Alphonsa was extremely professional, helpful, and responsive. She replied to emails very quickly, often the same day, and was always available to answer telephone calls. Her communication and dedication made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

We highly recommend So Legal and especially Alphonsa Shibu for anyone looking for an excellent solicitor.

Excellent Service

Excellent Service – Smooth 28-Day Auction Purchase

I’ve just completed an auction property purchase with SO Legal, and the whole process was extremely smooth and efficient. Completing within the strict 28-day timeframe was made easy thanks to their professionalism.

A huge thank you to Dylan and Dalton, who guided me through every step right up to completion. The purchase was done using a bridging lender (Together), and everything was handled expertly.

Completed successfully today, 08 December 2025. I will definitely be using SO Legal again for my future property purchases and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient legal team.

My experience end to end was brilliant

My experience end to end was brilliant. Joe and Parisa were excellent, 5* service and were supportive throughout the whole way, which as a first time buyer is exactly what you’d hope for.
Cannot fault their services- would recommend to everyone!

Highly responsive

So Legal were the most responsive solicitors I have dealt with in the UK. Both Katie and Maddison were very helpful and always returned an email within 12 hours. Even if it was frustrating news as the buying/selling process in the UK is very arduous. I'd like to thank them as I've been trying to close the deal for quite some time. They have been nothing but courteous, diligent and persevering.

Lease Extension - Best Experience

I was confused when I put out a query on the Leasehold Advisory Service website, knowing I had less than 3 months to 80 years remaining on the lease for my flat.
Jennifer Slater from SO Legal called me and very kindly explained the whole process to me. I immediately knew I needn’t respond to any other email follow ups from other firms of solicitors on my query.
Jennifer and her team made the whole process seamless and kept me informed every step along the way.
With their hard work and professionalism, my lease extension completed in less than 3 months!
I am a very satisfied client who will not hesitate to recommend your services.

Thank you so much Jennifer Slater and So Legal.
