Sale of property

This review is for a different branch.

My experience with Holden Smith was not good and I would not recommend this firm to anybody. The sale of my property took 14 months from when I accepted the offer, with the first 6 weeks not having a solicitor working on the case at all. There were various issues within the 14 months and not only that, I have since been informed that some of my signed paperwork has been lost during an office move and I need to print, sign and send again. When I asked for a printed copy to be sent to me with a stamped addressed return envelope I was told this was not something you offer but that I could be reimbursed for the postage, however I still need not get this sent through the post and I am expected to print it. This may seem measly but after my experience so far I am not happy. It also begs the question as to what else has been lost in transit.

We can not express the gratitude that we have for Tim working at holden smith law it’s been a pleasure to have Tim do our soliciting, efficiently that there was no stress and if a hurdle occurred Tim would swiftly have a resolution and the measures in place to over come the hurdle.
The holden smith law app has be super useful getting information across to Tim quickly and keeping us updated.
We are truly grateful for Tim’s hard work and professionalism through out the whole process!
THANK YOU TIM!!

Absolutely excellent!

This review is for a different branch.

I have been using the firm and specifically Zack McKindley Baines for some four years and after twenty years in property investment I have never found anyone close to the service levels received from Zack and his team. I could not ask for better !

A representative from Holden Smith Law Limited responded to this review on 22 May, 2025:

Thank you so very much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review. Zack is over the moon with your kind words.

Because I wanted to stay with Andrew Norton and found out that he had moved to your firm. He has already arranged transfer of my file to you and kept me informed of the progress all the way along. As yet I have not done business with your firm.

Tim at Holden Smith was recommended to me and picked up my property purchase at a stuck time of need! Prompt communications from the firm at all times and ensured completion in a complex sale and purchase process, assisting with the purchase side of things for my new home. Nothing was too much trouble. Didn't matter they were not local to me, as electronically, everything was provided and got through when needed. Thanks for all the help.

House sale not easy

This review is for a different branch.

I would not recommend using this firm for a house sale. Very poor communication. Unable to explain the process and then requests for things to be completed urgently. Then when we have done this emails days later to do it again, or ask if it has been done. If you are busy and have to plan time off to get documents signed it would be good to know in advance. I asked numerous times what else do we need to do and when, but didn't get an answer.
The house sale did complete and I am grateful for that.

We had a really good experience with Holden Smith Law. We were on a tight deadline buying our house due to the upcoming stamp duty changes.
Emily Fraser specifically was super patient with us, always responded quickly to emails and kept us updated along the way. Daniel Cox was also very helpful and informative whenever we spoke to him. All the team at Holden Smith helped us get our purchase completed before the end of March saving us a small fortune.

A representative from Holden Smith Law Limited responded to this review on 06 May, 2025:

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us such a great review. Daniel and Emily really do appreciate it.
