Sale of property

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.

House sale not easy

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.

Fantastic

We used Holden Smith for both the sale of our first home and the purchase of our second, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The team was always helpful, responsive, and kept everything moving smoothly. Any questions we had were answered quickly, making the whole process much less stressful. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient conveyancing team!

Exceptional Leadership and Outstanding Service from Ryanne Smith

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Ryanne Smith for her exceptional professionalism and leadership. When our house purchase was delayed for five months due to poor handling by a previous representative, Ryanne stepped in and completely transformed our experience.

From the moment she took over, her expertise, efficiency, and commitment to outstanding client service were evident. Within just two weeks, she successfully finalized our purchase, allowing us to collect the keys to our new home.

Ryanne exemplifies true leadership—she leads by example, operates with integrity and ethics, and is focused on delivering results. Holden Smith is truly fortunate to have a director of her caliber.

I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a solicitor who is not only highly skilled but also dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for her clients. She is simply outstanding!

A representative from Holden Smith Law Limited responded to this review on 25 February, 2025:

Thank you so very much for your kind review. Ryanne is delighted that she was able to turn things around for you and truly appreciates your feedback.

I personally think that mr luke undehill should be the incharge of this holden smith branch, no disrespect for other team members but Luke and Alta Giradi has given the dedication to their client and this firm, I don’t like putting up names for individual solicitors but i had to because of the smooth transition during my London Dagenham purchase, so i am writing reviews wherever is possible just to shine their morning, i hope you guys are well and remain healthy. Thank you for your work.
