Good communication

Good communication, efficient service. I had a very positive experience selling my flat earlier this year with the help of Nicole and the team at the Uckfield office. They communicated effectively and were able to help guide me through the frustrating process of selling a home for the first time.

Jessica went above and beyond!

I cannot recommend Jessica highly enough! She acted as my solicitor while I was buying a property on my own, and she was absolutely amazing throughout. Even when issues arose at different parts of the chain, Jessica did everything she could to ensure the sale went ahead. She communicated clearly and consistently throughout, keeping me informed at every stage.

Jessica was always professional, knowledgeable, and patient with all my questions. She handled everything efficiently and with genuine care, making what was a stressful process feel a lot more manageable.

If you’re looking for a solicitor who goes above and beyond, Jessica is the one to choose!

Great conveyancing: great communication

Nicola Radford and her team at SO legal provided an excellent service for the conveyancing on the sale of our flat in Marine Court. As they have done conveyancing for a number of units in the building, they are very familiar with the terrain and managed the operation smoothly and effectively. Communication was handled in a prompt, efficient and professional manner. I highly recommend them.

So Legal were highly recommended to me and have been brilliant! I dealt with Katie Bacchus to remove a charge from my property and not only did Katie get the charge removed quickly. She was also very timely in her responses to my queries, as well as knowledgeable, professional and very polite and friendly too. Thank you for the 5 Star treatment - highly recommend and would definitely use again!

Excellent service from the start until completion today. Joe and Parisa have been helpful, professional and I have been kept informed of developments (and even when there were none) every step of the way. They promptly responded to my questions and even sorted out an issue regarding the property which saved a lot of time and complication. I would whole heartedly recommend them.

Highly Recommend Dylan Leet at SO Legal.

Dylan Leet at SO Legal Brighton was outstanding during the company purchase of a block of flats. It was a complex transaction with multiple legal challenges, but Dylan handled everything with expertise, clarity, and determination. He kept me informed, moved things forward efficiently, and protected my interests throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any property transaction — especially the tricky ones.

SO Legal Brighton

SO Legal's Brighton team (on my sale of a house it was Dominic, Alexia and Anzhela) did a fantastic job - smoothly, efficiently and without drama, and all for a competitive fee. I highly recommend SO Legal.

Amazing solicitors!!

So Legal were absolutely amazing when me and my partner were purchasing our first property. We couldn’t have asked for a better solicitors.

Jessica was superb throughout the whole process. She was so quick and prompt with everything we needed and made the experience of purchasing a property stress free. We didn’t have to chase them at all and felt super confident with leaving it in their hands. Even our estate agents said they were the best solicitors they had ever worked with.

I would highly highly recommend so legal to anyone.

Thank you, Joe!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Joe for our house sale and purchase… and I honestly and genuinely cannot recommend Joe and the team at SO Legal enough. To say he went above and beyond would be understating it. At every step along what’s a stressful process, Joe was ALWAYS available, ALWAYS providing support and clarity… and most importantly ALWAYS provided clear, constant communication.

In fact, Joe’s inherent proactiveness is, in my opinion, the main contributing factor in how we were able to get our move completed before the stamp duty hikes - saving us thousands. Thank you so much Joe!
