one in a million

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!!

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.

Tim was the epitome of efficient

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!

Delighted with the conveyancing service

Delighted with the conveyancing service we received on both sale and purchase. If you're lucky enough to get Jade Sykes then you will be in very good hands indeed. Everything was done in a timely manner, we were kept well informed and the information we were given was always accurate.

unfortunately the worst thing that happened to me when buying a house

I contacted this law firm for help in buying a house, I was assigned this lawyer, you held my case for a month, then without notifying me, he wrote that he would not handle the purchase of the house because my English is too poor, I still have not received a refund of the money I paid on December 11, stay away

A representative from Holden Smith Law Limited responded to this review on 07 January, 2025:

There are two sides to every story and we do not wish to engage further on this matter.

Outstanding Service

I wholeheartedly recommend Tim and Leigh without any reservation. My experience with them was truly exceptional, especially after a frustrating time with another conveyancer. The difference was like night and day!

From the very beginning, Tim and Leigh were incredibly responsive and attentive. They were always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure my interests were protected. They quickly grasped the complexities of my case and efficiently moved the process forward.

Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication made what can be a stressful experience incredibly smooth and reassuring. I can't thank them enough for their outstanding service!

Proactive and Responsive

Tim and Leigh were great working as my sell-side solicitors. It was not easy process but the proactiveness and responsiveness of the service was great especially when dealing with difficult buy-side solicitors. Also, rather refreshingly, Tim would ring me as required, which made life easier and helped the service rather than just communicating exclusively through emails.

Would certainly recommend Tim and Leigh.

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.
