SO Legal are brilliant! Zoe and Dominic managed our property sale and purchase. Zoe was with us every step of the way, providing excellent legal advice, guidance, support and brilliant work. I can’t recommend them enough, everyone at the firm is so friendly, and really care about you as a client and the work they do is superb! Thank you!

We had a complicated remortgage involving the owner in one jurisdiction with the asset in another. Dylan Leet and the team at SO Legal were there for every step, which included handling a series of fresh last-minute requirements from our counter party.
Highly recommended.

We have just completed on the purchase of a flat and SO Legal have been brilliant. They always respond quickly to emails, and they have given us very good advice. Always polite and helpful - thank you.

The agent selling my property recommended using a local firm with experience of auction sales. I was lucky enough to find James Halpin and Katie Bacchus from SO Legal.
They were extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout and made the whole process very straightforward. They kept me well informed at every stage and took the time and trouble to explain any issues I encountered.
I would happily use them again.

I was looking for a conveyancer in the area for a property purchase and stumbled upon Nicola by accident, as the Eastbourne office had been recommended. However they were acting for the vendor, but introduced me to Hastings, at my request, as the firm had been recommended. Throughout the process I was kept apprised of progress and always felt that my interests were protected. A highly proficient service.

When our supplier failed to deliver on a contract and cited that cancelling would mean we were not entitled to our deposit back (several thousands) we realised the only way to get our money returned would be to obtain legal assistance. We cannot thank SO Legal and specifically Michael Mulcare enough for the swift response. Michael was an excellent communicator and diligently went through all details relating to the failed contract before sending on our behalf a methodical, reasoned legal letter before claim on our behalf. The successful result of this was a full refund of the deposit within the two week deadline. We would not hesitate to recommend Michael and SO Legal to others for litigation advise and action. While we don’t want to have a litigation issue again in a hurry, if we did, Michael would be the first person we would contact. When it comes to law and getting results a legal advisor is worth his/her weight in gold.

We were recommended So Legal by the estate agent managing the sale of our property and I'm so glad we took them up on their recommendation. Joe and his legal team were proactive and responsive. The overal service was exceptional, I couldn't fault it. I will highly recommend them and would gladly let the So team manage future sales and purchases for me again.

Joe and his Team at Legal were as previously excellent ! The speed and efficiency was first rate and made a rather difficult sale and purchase as easy as it could be with humour as well! Thank you sincerely could not praise enough!

Me and my partner bought our first house in august 2023 (sorry Joe for taking me this long to write a review) but Joe and his team at SO legal were absolutely amazing I cannot fault them one bit. Joe and his team managed our sale from around 100miles away and I never had any complaints - he was very responsive and managed all my queries quickly.
I cannot recommend this company enough and especially Joe! If we were to buy another house we would definitely be using SO legal again without doubt.
Joe was always very proactive and shared emails with us regarding him chasing our sale so we were always up to date and in the know - it made the house buying process a lot easier with him managing it appropriately.
All solicitors are busy but when they make conscious efforts with you it’s worth paying for!!! Absolutely recommened and we are so happy we chose you!!
Olivia and Patrick

Dominic Mercer and his team in the Brighton office were amazing start to finish. They handled the sale of our old and purchase of our new home and were readily available to answer questions and solve problems when they arose. Will be recommending them and using them again in the future!

Outstanding professionalism! We have used So Legal for numerous business and personal house purchases and sales. Sarah Spittle has gone above and beyond every time. She is efficient, quick to respond, and very personable. I cannot fault their service in any way. A special mention also to Maryam Pour who is equally just as amazing! Highly recommend using So Legal and will continue to do so. Monique

Helped with sale of first property and guided me along the way with the added difficulty of me being an expat and living in Australia.
All round good service at a good price and did everything as promised

Nicole Hoddinott dealt with my wife's complicated deputyship for her mother's affairs, then handled the probate, which included the sale of her property. Having dealt with other solicitors in the past for conveyancing and other matters, it was clear that Nicole deals with all matters promptly and efficiently.

I'm a returning customer and the service received was superb. They listen and follow on my instructions and were communicating with me promptly through the entire process.
Thank you so much,
