Quality at a fair price

I am delighted with HS Legal Solicitors work on my property purchase - especially with Mamed who kept me updated and chased the other solicitors when they were late. I will use their services for my next house purchase.

Disappointing Experience with HS Legal Solicitors

Disappointing Experience with HS Legal Solicitors
Instructing HS Legal Solicitors was, unfortunately, a poor decision during the sale of my property.

I used an online conveyancing comparison website — conveyancingindex — and HS Legal was one of the firms included in the quotes provided. I went with them based on the Trustpilot reviews and it was a big mistake.

While the solicitor from HS Legal Solicitors ultimately completed the work, I would not choose this firm again for several reasons:
1. Although I was assigned a dedicated case handler, this proved to be ineffective as they appeared to have little involvement in the process.
2. It was difficult to contact the firm by phone and not once did I speak with the solicitor. They will not even give you a call if there’s some urgency. In case of any urgent matter, please forget any help over the phone and putting your mind to ease.
3. I often wondered if my emails were being properly read, as I had to address the buyer’s solicitor’s queries multiple times myself. The firm lacked proactivity throughout the process.
4. Responses to my queries sent in the morning would often arrive around 4:30–5:00 p.m., leaving no opportunity to reply before their office closed.
5. The solicitor forgot to include the agreed White goods amount and had to be reminded to add it.
6. An incorrect service charge figure was initially included under apportionment, which we had to identify and have it corrected ourselves.
7. When the 90% was paid, the solicitor seemed unaware that they were responsible for obtaining the remaining 10% from the estate agent and instead advised us to contact the estate agent for the remaining amount.
8. There was also a delay in receiving this amount due to lack of ownership from the firm.
9. The final invoice differed from the original quote provided by Conveyancing Index, with no prior notice or explanation for the change but after an email it was amended.
10. I am surprised that conveyancingindex and other online conveyancing comparison website are using this company to provide a quote.
Overall, it was a disappointing experience. You’d expect a solicitor to be proactive, responsive, and to act in your best interests — unfortunately, HS Legal Solicitors did not meet those expectations.

HS Legal

HS - Legal did my conveyancing matter for both of my sales and purchases. They did excellent job by completing my case successfully with great care. Unfortunately, I had very difficult buyer who dragged things on, luckily thanks to HS Legal all went well in the end. The communications were on time, keeping everyone informed at all times and they also were very knowledgeable and professional. I also appreciate they did everything to keep the costs down for me, which is huge bonus.
Would highly recommend

Great price, very professional service

We just bought the house and I was suggested HS Legal by Conveyancingindex.co.uk site.
From the very beginning until the end all the experience was really good.
Jawad was professional, efficient and replied to the queries very quickly.
Also pricewise, their services cost less than half than some other companies. But the service didn't feel cheap. It was very professional. You can follow up on the case progress in Hoowla, which was very handy.

I highly recommend Jawad and team.

Thank you very much for your services, Jawad!

Frustrating experience from beginning to end

Instructing HS Legal Solicitors was the worst decision I made during the sale of my property.

I understand that using a solicitor outside my area would rely on digital communication, and I was quite comfortable with this. But the online system (app) didn’t work from the start, and the alternatives (email and telephone) weren’t much better.

• After a while, I stopped receiving acknowledgements for any documentation/information that I had sent through, despite asking for it.
• Most of the queries I had were not addressed. I was bombarded with generic, automated responses which did not resolve the issues I was raising.
• I was assigned a dedicated case handler but never got to speak to him. Instead, all correspondence was signed by his ‘team’ – see above.
• It was difficult to contact the firm by phone: if I was lucky enough to get through, calls were often not returned, and on one occasion, when I said that I would wait to talk to a member of the team, I was cut off.
• I was advised that they would complete and check forms, but I got the impression that they were simply bouncing any/all information between me and the buyers’ solicitor. They certainly weren’t checking it; otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to respond to some of the buyer’s solicitors' queries several times over.
• The day for the exchange of contracts was delayed because HS Legal wanted to use digital signatures while the buyer’s solicitor insisted on ‘wet’ signatures (hard copies). I would have thought this would have been discussed and settled between the firms before the completion date. It was left to me to race around obtaining additional ‘wet’ signatures and spending a small fortune on overnight postage to expedite the process.
• I am still waiting for confirmation from HS Legal that the funds were released and on the way to my account.
• It took four emails to obtain an accurate completion statement from the team.
• After five or six emails, I have given up asking for the link to Trustpilot, which HS Legal says they have sent me.

All in all, it has been a disappointing, frustrating experience which I wouldn’t wish on anybody.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your experience with HS Legal Solicitors. We take all client concerns seriously and appreciate the opportunity to respond to the matters you have raised.
Our records confirm that the complete Client Care Pack was issued to you on 24 April 2025. We understand that you experienced some initial difficulty completing and signing the forms; however, this was promptly resolved on 29 April 2025 at 1:15 PM. The issue arose due to a temporary technical fault within our management system, which our IT department addressed as swiftly as possible.

All documentation and correspondence received from you were duly acknowledged, with automated confirmations sent to ensure you were kept informed. Our team consistently endeavours to respond to client queries promptly, and we can confirm that all concerns raised during your matter were addressed in a timely and professional manner.
We also attempted to contact you by telephone; however, on those occasions, you were unavailable. Despite this, we continued to communicate regularly via email, providing updates and ensuring you remained informed throughout your transaction.

Regarding the exchange and completion of your matter, please note that most solicitors and the Land Registry now accept electronically signed documents. Accordingly, we sent all relevant documentation to you for signing via DocuSign. On the completion date, however, the buyer’s solicitor requested wet-ink signatures, notwithstanding the acceptance of electronic execution under current practice. Although this requirement caused a brief one-day delay, the transaction was successfully completed on 28 August, once all necessary documents were obtained.

As to your comment concerning the Trustpilot review link, we can confirm that it was sent to you promptly via both email and WhatsApp. Please note that Trustpilot operates as an independent public platform, and the review link can also be easily accessed by searching on Google.

At HS Legal Solicitors, we regard client care and satisfaction as our highest priority. We strive to provide a consistently professional and efficient service, and we value all feedback as it enables us to continually improve our standards of client service.

Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts.

DO NOT USE HS LEGAL WILL ONLY WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!

Do not use HS Legal, I am a first time buyer and i have had the worst experience, they haven't told me what to expect and guide through this process.

The customer service skills and communication skills are horrendous and when you do get information its contradicting.

The case has been delayed multiple times which could have been avoided with better communication.

Complete and utterly disagree with HS Legals reply, can prove multiple times there lack of communication.

We would like to clarify that throughout your conveyancing process, we have kept you fully informed of developments and explained each step involved. The delays you have experienced have arisen primarily due to third parties – namely the seller’s solicitors, the landlord, and the management company – and therefore remain outside of our control.

Your matter formally commenced on 12th April. Despite our continued chasing of the seller’s solicitors, the management pack was not received until 28th June, which in itself caused an unavoidable delay of approximately two months. During this period, we relayed all updates provided by the seller’s solicitors and ensured you were aware of the position at every stage.

Following receipt of the management pack, further time was taken while awaiting responses to our enquiries, again dependent upon the seller’s solicitors. Currently, the principal outstanding issue is the receipt of the signed Deed from the management company. This document is an essential part of the conveyancing process; without it, we cannot lawfully or practically proceed to completion. The execution and return of this Deed rests entirely with the management company and the seller’s solicitors.

Please be assured that we continue to chase these third parties on your behalf and will progress matters immediately once the signed Deed is provided. We reiterate that we have maintained regular communication with you throughout, both by email and telephone, and have promptly shared all updates as soon as they were received from the seller’s solicitors.

We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter. Please rest assured that we are actively pursuing the outstanding documentation to bring your transaction to completion at the earliest possible opportunity.
