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.

Hi Linda, I am sorry that you do not feel that you had a great experience with us. Please do send further details to "[email protected]" and I can look into this further for you.

Tim was the epitome of efficient

This review is for a different branch.

Special thanks to Tim Hare for being so so efficient when handling our sale. Not only was it month end, it was the end of the financial year AND the last day before stamp duty increases. Tim was on it from the outset and even worked the Sunday before to ensure everything completed as hoped and planned. If everyone had Tim’s work ethic and conscience, transactions such as this would be so much smoother. Thanks Tim!

Recommend Holden Smith Lae

This review is for a different branch.

We were assigned Nicola and we were aiming to finish before stamp duty deadline however due to unforeseen circumstances on the vendor's end we were unable to. Nicola worked hard to ensure we did not miss the timeline and was always swift with responses. Whatever had to be done on our end was done efficiently and in a timely manner. I have no doubt that if it wasn't for the vendor's personal circumstances we would have completed in March.

A representative from Holden Smith Law Limited responded to this review on 04 April, 2025:

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a great review, Nicola really does appreciate that you recognised all her efforts.

I would highly recommend Luke Underhill and Alta Girardi to manage the purchase and sale of your property. They are both professional, efficient and excellent in their field. I was always able to speak to either of them on the phone with any questions or queries. If on the very rare occasion they missed my call, they did promptly call me back. They kept me fully updated with the progress of my sale and purchase which made this a stress free process for me. I can't recommend them highly enough, they were brilliant!

We've just use Holden Smith Law for both the sale and purchase of properties and the experience was outstanding from start to finish! Nicola was so honest, helpful and always available. She was so approachable and we never doubted if we were in safe hands! Callum, Kirsty & Eleanor were all so brilliant too. We had a very complicated case and were told to go with a firm local to us but we stuck with Holden Smith and they were the only ones through the entire process who were amazing! Thanks so much guys. If you're on the fence about using them, go for it. I would highly recommend!

Sadly, I did not have the best experience with this firm. The solicitor submitted a report with unfinished sentences and failed to highlight missing service charge payments with no agreed retention. I constantly had to proof read everything and ask for things that should have been handled prior to even producing the report, which felt I was doing her job and causing unnecessary delays. Unfortunately, it was too late in the purchasing process to switch solicitors but I ended up outsourcing advice from elsewhere to have any confidence in the deal. I did manage to close the deal but do not recommend at all. Very painful process.

A representative from Holden Smith Law Limited responded to this review on 04 April, 2025:

I am sorry to learn that you do not feel you had a positive experience with us. Please do send further details to "[email protected]" and I will investigate this further for you.
