Tania Douglas and Tia Aitken from the Smith Partnership Burton Upon Trent office provided exceptional service during a leasehold apartment sale. They were highly professional, proactive, attentive, and communicative, ensuring a smooth and stress-free process. Their expert handling of details made the experience seamless and are highly recommended.

It is all worth it and i know its made nan proud thanks again guys :)
We recently used Arslan as our dads solicitor and couldn’t be more pleased with the service we received as a family. From the very beginning, he was professional, approachable, and took the time to truly understand the situation. Everything was explained clearly, and the case was handled efficiently and with great attention to detail, which made what could have been a very stressful process feel far more manageable.
What stood out most was his dedication and genuine care. We never felt like just another client, he was supportive, responsive, and always willing to answer any questions we had.
I would highly recommend Arslan to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and compassionate legal support. Thank you again for everything you’ve done for our dad and us as a family.
I needed a Conveyancer to help support my clients with their first investment property under a layered limited company structure. As this was an auction purchase the timescales were tight. Donna Richardson has been nothing short of incredible! Amazing with my clients providing the right support and guidance, working with me and the lender to get everything signed off aloing with working closely with the vendors solicitors to get this transaction through with time to spare. 10 out 5
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Viktorija for her invaluable and highly professional assistance in preparing a Power of Attorney for my mother, ensuring that every detail was handled with great care.
As my mum does not speak English and only speaks Russian, we are especially grateful to Viktorija for being able to explain everything clearly in her native language. This made a significant difference and helped my mother fully understand all important aspects of the document.
I am very grateful for her help and highly professional service. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others.

Evie and Michelle were absolutely brilliant throughout my house sale. They handled everything with such care and efficiency, and their communication made the whole process feel calm and manageable. We genuinely felt looked after from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting a smooth, stress-free experience.

Can not thank Jodie & Zoe enough for their help completing the sale of my parents property. Its been a bumpy ride with the chain collapsing a few times (none of it our fault) but have to say their knowledge and experience is second to none and I wouldn't use anyone else now. Excellent communication, emails and calls answered straight away. To be honest everyone at Smiths is very helpful and friendly and have been an enormous support following the death of my parents.

One week ago we have asked for an estimate as we were going to make a will. Somebody was going to ring us. Nothing happened. It looks like they do not need any more clients.
There was no service. That is just it.

Michelle lamb completed the sale of my late mums property. From the first contact with her she was empathetic and caring of our circumstance. She was very gentle with us and guided us through the process very professionally. She communicated regularly with us so we knew exactly what to expect and managed our expectation every step of the way. She helped make the final thing we had to do for mum as easy as she could and we are extremely thankful. I would highly recommend her. Thank you so much Michelle - we appreciate everything you have done for us - I would highly recommend you to friends and family

From start to finish our house-buying experience with everyone at Smith Partnership went smoothly and much faster than anticipated. Michelle Pollard, Eve Whatton and Kelly Craythorne were consistently helpful, informative and thorough. We couldn't have asked for better service.

Smiths Partnership represented my son, and I couldn’t be happier with the support he received. Everything was communicated thoroughly, and thanks to their hard work he had the best outcome possible today at Crown Court. We’re very grateful for the professionalism, guidance, and reassurance they provided throughout the whole process. Highly recommended. Thank you Adrian
