Holden Smith Law Reviews 1,199

Buying our 1st home was a long journey, with delays from the upper chain and even a failed first attempt due to titlle issue. Through it all, Zack was patient, supportive and proactive in handling matters beyond a solicitor routine responsibilities, such as chasing seller's solicitor even the estate agent to keep things moving. We finally completed this week, and honestlyZack's persistence and clear communication gave us confidence. Mr Zack always replied my email/s the same day,often within the hour. We are very happy and grateful to recommend Zack as a caring and reliable professional.

Managed to get our time-critical deal over the line for us, which was hugely important for us. Well Done Holden Smith !

Our conveyancing got off to a very shaky start and we lost time getting the first steps completed. A hefty prod and a shake up at Holden Smith transferred our case into the hands of Luke Underhill - and he was on it in a flash, doing his utmost to recover lost time. We had issues with the Land Registry (who doesn't?), but Luke tried every move he knew to try and accelerate the process so that we could get restrictions updated and allow our case to proceed. Inactivity and resistance by other parties strangled the process at times, but throughout Luke maintained regular dialogue with us. When Luke was undertaking other business, his assistant Stephanie was his equal in the chasing-up and updating departments. A great team working together in harmony that got us over the line in the end - and followed up afterwards to ensure we had no further issues.

Excellent professional advice and an expedient attitude that enables swift conclusions. Luke is knowledgable and prudent in his advice. As always Holden Smith do not disappoint.

Quick, responsive and efficient

I would give more than 5 if I could - a lot of bumps n the road in our house buying journey however Katie Lawton and her team were superb very proactive and we’re just simply brilliant

Alex Jones in the Horsforth office looked after the sale of our house and the purchase of my new home. Professional and efficient service from the start, Alex was always available for a quick phone call, and did a great job with both transactions. Would highly recommend.

Alex Jones and the team at Holden Smith Law were excellent throughout the entire process of selling my house and buying a new one. It was a complicated chain and Alex was proactive and communicated well every step of the way. Alex was very supportive and I know he went above and beyond to make sure we exchanged. I recommend highly.

Excellent, fast and professional. We would definitely recommend and use again

This company is reliable, very prompt I will always recommend to everyone

I used Francesca Graham at Holden Smith for the conveyancing on my recent property purchase and I would 100% recommend. Francesca was genuinely a pleasure to deal with, she kept me up to date, would respond quickly to any queries I had and the whole process just seemed so efficient and seamless. I had used another solicitor for the sale of my previous property and the experience with Francesca was so much better and far less stressful. Should I need conveyancing services in the future, I would not hesitate and would definitely ask Francesca.

Hey abena boateng just want to let you know I’m very satisfied with your work and thanks for all the help to getting this property for me sorted I’m very satisfied and thanks for your service you made very happy thank

Zack and Laura were nothing short of delightful to work with, and deserve a special commendation for their tireless efforts on my case(s) - three simultaneous purchases / sales.

Holden Smith were recommended by my mortgage advisor and I have zero regrets, from the onset they were reliable, trusty, proactive and communicative.

I can assure you, if not for their work ethic, this whole thing would have fallen through, but they kept at it, right to the very end.

Zack and Laura were a breath of fresh air in contrast to another firm on the case. I can’t thank them enough for their responsiveness, timeliness and engagement…they were a real pleasure to work alongside.

I would not hesitate to recommend them in conveyancing matters and more! Thank you truly!

Clear and efficient process. Joe Furness looked after my case and was extremely helpful and responsive - very reliable. I felt I knew what was happening every step of the process and confident that actions would be carried out consistently as communicated. Overall - clear and efficient process with excellent customer care.

I was really happy with the conveyancing work
carried out by Joe Furness with regards to my Help to Buy repayment. My case was dealt with in a timely manner, any questions, enquiries I had were answered quickly and the completion went smoothly. I would highly recommend.

The searches carried out showed that the home was connected to mains sewerage, now after living in the home for a few months have discovered it is in fact connected to a private septic tank.
Sams conveyancing and Holden Smith solicitors want to wash their hands of any responsibility in this error.

UPDATE:
Now we are being told that WE have to contact the search provider.
I don't see why we have to chase this, we paid for a service that hasn't been provided satisfactorily and now we are being left to deal with it.
If I had the time to deal with this I'd have had time to do the searches myself.
Now we are looking at a cost of around £10k for a new, compliant septic tank.

Bethany was great! She helped us through the process of buying our first home, because of this we had no idea of the stages but Bethany was always happy to answer any questions or queries we had. Would highly recommend Holden Smith (and Bethany) thank you again!

Jade Sykes was fantastic throughout this process for us. She was dedicated to getting the right result for us through conveyancing and was great to work with - would highly recommend Jade for conveyancing services!

Lack of communication from my solicitor almost lost me the sale of the house- this made the already stressful process about 10 times worse. Incredibly expensive, honestly save your money and go ANYWHERE else

The experience we had using Holden Smith Law, (with Ryanne Smith and Kirsty Jorden as conveyancers for both our sale and simultaneous purchase), was beyond exemplary.

These two women are consummate professionals with a wonderful ability to take their client seamlessly through the conveyancing process. As most people know, the process of selling and buying property can be extremely stressful, but Ryanne and Kirsty mitigated our stress by keeping us fully informed of developments and giving us excellent advice as to how best to deal with the “curve balls” that are often thrown in the conveyancing process.

In summary, we can say hand on heart, that these ladies went above and beyond to ensure that the sale and purchase were dealt with in the best possible way. We told them many times that what they might construe and just “doing their job” is to actually undermine the value of their work to clients like ourselves. Without them doing their “day job” with the skill, professionalism and care that they did, we wouldn’t now be in situ in our new home, so absolutely delighted to be here.

Thank you so sincerely Ryanne and Kirsty - you’ve helped us beyond words and we highly recommend you to anyone embarking on the journey of house selling/buying.
