Dylan Leet

Partner & Head of Real Estate Finance

Dylan Leet Head of Real Estate Finance
Dylan is a partner and head of our real estate finance department, providing strategic advice on complex property transactions.

He completed his Law Degree in 2019 and the LPC LLM in 2021, joining SO Legal as a paralegal that same year. After securing a training contract with the firm, he qualified as a solicitor in 2023.

Based in our Brighton office, Dylan collaborates with colleagues across our other locations, including London and Eastbourne.

Working closely with a diverse range of clients, he supports individuals and newly established small businesses purchasing their first properties, as well as larger, well-established organisations expanding their property portfolios.

With extensive experience across a variety of matters, Dylan and his team manage everything from straightforward property purchases and transfers to complex transactions, such as share purchases, bridging finance, and high-value deals. 

He thrives under the pressure of tight deadlines, for example when clients need to complete transactions before changes to tax rules take effect, a common feature of this fast-paced area of law.

Dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for his clients, Dylan partners with third parties, including accountants and agents, to ensure every transaction is handled efficiently and successfully.

Outside of work, he enjoys watching and playing sports and is a season ticket holder at Brighton. Dylan completed the Brighton Marathon in 2017, managed Haywards Heath's Under-18s side, and coached the men's team.

Testimonials

“I recently instructed Dylan and Dalton for our property transaction and was extremely impressed with the level of service provided. They 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.”

“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. 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.”

“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.”

“I've bought and sold a fair few properties, and SO Legal have by far been my best experience. Dylan worked exceptionally hard through a really tricky sale, doing the jobs of two other firms, and creatively problem solving some really tough issues. I will be using this firm for every property sale from now on, and have already recommended them to everyone I know.”
C. Quinn
“We were clueless first-time buyers. Dylan was incredibly patient with us and all the questions we had. Throughout the whole process, he was incredibly efficient; we didn’t have to chase him on anything, and his communication was timely and professional. He gave us sound advice when we were unsure and used his experience to ensure we didn’t hit any issues, as we were buying a property with tenants.”
