Recommend Holden Smith Lae

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.

welbeck avenue Oldham

Although sale was resolved at 2nd attempt,disapointed at lack of urgency chasing 1st buyer who turned out to be a time waster.This lost us approximately 4 months ,annoying as all the time sale
was pending cost money paid out to protect property..i.e water rates, council tax, octopus energy.

Think in future would recommend local firm which would make it more accessible for queries.

House Sales Chadderton

We used this company because recommended by the estate agents who handled the sale of our house but once we were put in touch with the conveyancer we found it far harder than anticipated, we had to download an app which then for some reason would not work on my phone but I had to phone an I.T. company not the conveyancer, ended up having to do all on my wifes Iphone despite having an Android. I once range and was put on hold with no answers, then phoned again left a message but no reply. I foud doing it via an app hard work and found phrases like onboarding and particularly the word tasks which I would associate with something I am paid for not paying for.

Sale and Purchase of our Properties

Our experience with Holden Smith was absolutely first-class from start to finish. The communication was impeccable, we were always kept informed and never left wondering about the next steps. Rebecca and her team went above and beyond to ensure everything progressed smoothly, demonstrating exceptional professionalism and dedication.

Despite challenges on the buyer’s side, Rebecca’s proactive approach and relentless efforts kept things moving efficiently, likely saving us months of unnecessary delays. Her expertise and commitment made all the difference, turning what could have been a stressful process into a seamless experience.

We couldn’t recommend Holden Smith highly enough, if you’re looking for a solicitor who truly goes the extra mile, look no further!

A representative from Holden Smith Law Limited responded to this review on 18 February, 2025:

We really do appreciate you taking the time to leave such a great review. Rebecca and the team are thrilled with your feedback.

Dan and Francesca were my solicitors for my house buying process, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their service. From the very beginning, they were professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the conveyancing process.

They completed the entire process in just 8 weeks, which is quite remarkable. They kept me informed at every step, ensuring that I understood what was happening and what to expect next. Their communication was clear and prompt, which made the experience much less stressful for me.

Dan and Francesca were also very approachable and willing to answer any questions I had, no matter how small.

I highly recommend Dan and Francesca from Holden smith to anyone looking for reliable and efficient solicitors for conveyancing. They made my home-buying experience smooth and enjoyable, and I am grateful for their hard work and support. Thank you both!

A representative from Holden Smith Law Limited responded to this review on 28 March, 2025:

Thank you so very much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review. Dan and Francesca really do appreciate your lovely feedback.

Amazing solicitors. So friendly and helpful. Great communication. I can't praise them enough. The purchase of our first property was a long process but Tim and Joan at Holden Smith were incredible all the way through. I would always recommend them and I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.
