Would thoroughly recommend

This review is for a different branch.

I used Tim for a flat purchase and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Communication was excellent throughout - Tim was always quick to respond to emails and was also available via WhatsApp, which made everything even more convenient. No question was ever too much trouble, and I always felt informed and supported. I’d definitely use Tim again without hesitation and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive conveyancer.

Excellent Service for a First-Time Buyer

This review is for a different branch.

Tim and his team have been fantastic throughout the entire process of buying my first property. As a first-time buyer, I was actually bit clueless about how everything worked, but they answered all my questions clearly, kept me in the loop, and maintained regular contact with both my mortgage advisor and estate agent to ensure everything stayed on track.

Tim frequently phoned to provide updates, which I really appreciated. He was always easy to talk to—friendly, patient, and approachable. I genuinely felt supported from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tim to anyone looking for a reliable and professional conveyancing solicitor.

Awesome team

It was the second time we’ve used Holden Smith, and they were brilliant (again!). Sara, Sam and Tilly walked us through the whole process, answering our questions and making the purchase happen quickly. We wouldn’t go anywhere else now!

Very straightforward will writing process

This review is for a different branch.

Comparing to other solicitors I have had to deal with recently in the area of selling and buying a house, I appreciated that I could have a face-to-face meeting instead of doing everything remote, and I didn't need to use any of those frustrating app.

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.

I am sorry that you do not feel you have had a positive experience with us. Please do send further details to [email protected] so I can investigate this further for you.

one in a million

This review is for a different branch.

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 !

Absolutely fantastic conveyancing service, excellent communication throughout the sale process and very approachable. Would use again.
