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.

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

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.

Poor communication

For the past five months, the process of buying our first home has left us feeling like outsiders—ignored and deeply disheartened. Despite numerous attempts, we never received a direct response from our conveyancer, who would only reply when our mortgage advisor intervened on our behalf.

However, after speaking to Caroline twice today, we finally received a phone call from our conveyancer. The process isn’t over yet, but Caroline, we truly appreciate your professionalism, willingness to listen, and strong work ethic. We only hope that our conveyancer follows your example, making the final steps toward completion smoother and less stressful.

Thank you again Caroline

Will never use them again

I was spoken to like I was a child, one member of the team actually told me off, this was a very difficult time for me and they made it a lot harder

Very good communication throughout and everything went smoothly.
