I have been very impressed with the service I received from HSlegal and Jawad Mahmood in particular. He was patient and informative throughout a lengthy apartment sale. I chose the firm because I needed a mostly online system of conveyancing as I lived away, but I was pleased with the individual approach and personal emails answering my queries and keeping me informed. All signings are via docusign which made things straightforward.

Was apprehensive at first to use an online solicitor, had previously used locally based known and established conveyancers, but this firm turned out to be the best I’ve ever used. The whole process was efficiently organised with regular updates. All queries were dealt with within the hour or early the following working day. The whole process ran smoothly with prompt final day completion information and settlement. Cannot fault the team in charge of my account, a responsible and professional service was experienced.

HS LEGAL SOLICITORS is a very professional and efficient company. The Solicitors were very helpful and supportive.

So i didn’t really hear from Jawad and his team, everything was done online and was easy. About 4-5 weeks from engaging to completing my sale. So no complaints as all went fast and well. When I finally buy a house again I plan on looking Jawad up again. No better recommend than that.

I had a very positive experience with the staff at HS Legal Solicitors. They were efficient and professional in their work. They listened carefully to our queries and responded promptly. They took the time to explain everything clearly in a way that we could easily understand.

We recently purchased our first home through an auction, and the solicitors provided exceptional support throughout the entire process. Initially, we were very concerned about the limited time given to complete the purchase, but they managed to finalize everything within just two weeks. Their communication was outstanding—they kept us informed at every stage, which gave us peace of mind during what could have been a stressful experience. I am extremely happy with the service they provided and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and efficient solicitors.

I cannot speak highly enough of Jawad Mahmood and the team at HS Legal.
They handled both the sale of my property and the purchase of a new one under extremely tight deadlines and with significant complexity, including a developer part-exchange, pending title registration, management company compliance, and a time-critical chain.
Throughout the process, Jawad and his team were professional, calm, responsive, and meticulous. They never took shortcuts, always prioritised my legal protection, and explained each step clearly even when there was commercial pressure to proceed faster. Their persistence with third parties and ability to coordinate a same-day exchange for both and following day completion was exceptional.
I have dealt with many solicitors in the past, including others involved in this transaction, and I can confidently say HS Legal are second to none. Their work ethic, communication, and attention to detail made all the difference.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for conveyancing done properly.

I have just successfully completed on the sale of my flat. I have been extremely impressed with the service I have received from HS Legal Solicitors. Jawad was my solicitor and has been brilliant! Communication has been excellent and the price was extremely good.
I would highly recommend HS Legal Solicitors. I would give 6 stars if I could!

They provided the cheapest quote for an auction process purchase for a flat via a limited company.
However, after a few weeks, it became apparent that the individuals in charge had no experience or clue of dealing with auction processes. They tried to justify this by claiming that the process was 'complicated', but it was not. They simply did not know what they were doing.
Amongst other things:
- Missed fundamental information in the reports, e.g., did not pick up on, nor provide commentary on the Special Conditions of Sale -something that is standard in auction processes
- Did not acknowledge their mistakes
- When such mistakes cost up money, we ended up having to 'negotiate' for them to cover some of the additional costs - which they only reluctantly agreed to, without accepting responsibility for the errors.
- Documentation that should have been forwarded on, was not forwarded in a timely manner
- Did not provide accurate completion statements that had been provided by the seller's solicitors, despite having received an updated completion statement prior to completion
- Did not care to inform us that we had overpaid the amount due at completion, albeit by a paltry £30. Whether knowingly, or unintentionally, this simply should never happen with solicitors - they should hold themselves to a higher bar of integrity.
- Had to be chased repeatedly and on multiple occasions
- Whilst acknowledged 'deficiencies' and 'errors' had been made, at no point offered a sincere apology, nor compensation.
- Final completion statement prices differed from initial quotation and this had to be pointed out to them.
- Overall, too much stress, too much time taken checking everything they were sending across.
- Complete lack of trust in them.
It was great to work with his legal they responded all the time and tried to help me out of trouble during this tough property purchase

HSL solicitors kept me informed throughout the conveyancing process and gave me very good service in relation to communication between parties. I would recommend them to anyone buying or selling a house as they provided excellent value for money.
