Holden Smith Law Avis 

Donna was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. I was really worried at times and kept calling for updates, and she was always so kind, patient and happy to stop and explain everything to me. She kept me updated at every stage, was incredibly helpful, and was one of the easiest people to get hold of. Truly brilliant service - thank you, Donna.

I would like to thank , Leah Walbank for her professional and Brillant service that she provides at Holden Smith , would definitely recommend to anyone that is a first time buyer .

Damaride was our solicitor from Holden Smith who helped with our first house buying completion.
As it was our first time purchasing, we were completely new to the process, but Damaride happily answered any questions we had, any issues/changes were dealt with efficiently. Damaride was polite, helpful & understanding throughout the process and we are grateful for all of her help. Thank you again Damaride!

Really pleased with our service on sale & purchase of property with Holden Smith Law, particularly with Leah Walbank. Process was smooth from start to finish and very efficient. Having previously used a local solicitor for conveyancing and having multiple problems, really glad we chose Holden Smith this time round.

Great service from Eleanor Johnson.
Everything done via the portal. Straightforward and easy to navigate.

A huge thank you to Joe Furness for successfully completing my Help to Buy loan redemption on schedule. Joe’s patience and clear communication throughout the process made a stressful situation much easier. Fantastic service from Holden Smith Law!

We used SAM Conveyancing to handle our house sale and purchase. They put us in touch with Holden Smith Law, and we were assigned Haider Tarique.

The level of service was excellent throughout. Haider was always available on the phone to answer any queries, and everything was handled smoothly and efficiently, with no delays caused by our side.

The other parties were slow to act at times, but Haider kept us reassured that our work was complete and was proactive in chasing the other solicitor by email and phone.

Great service — I would definitely use Holden Smith Law and Haider again.

Got fantastic conveyancing done at a fantastic price. Keely was very helpful and prompt with her replies.
I would recommend Holden Smith as a first time buyer

Zack and Chloe were instrumental in helping me in the purchase of my house. Communication was great and any queries were dealt with promptly.

had an extremely disappointing experience with Katie Sanderson at Holden Smith.

What should have been a relatively straightforward property sale turned into an 18-month ordeal. As a direct result of repeated delays, unnecessary requests, and poor communication, I estimate that this experience cost me approximately £45,000.

This financial loss included:

A forced reduction of the sale price by £20,000
Ongoing mortgage payments
Council tax
Service charges and other holding costs
Additional management pack fees and related expenses

During the first sale, an insurance claim that was unrelated to my property was raised as an issue. Even after the insurance company confirmed that they could not provide the information being requested, there appeared to be no practical workaround. The transaction stalled and the first buyer withdrew.

When a second buyer was found, all documentation was already in place, including the management pack. Despite confirmation from the managing agent that nothing had changed, I was asked to purchase a new management pack at additional cost, causing further delay.

Communication was extremely frustrating. Emails often went unanswered for days, and on several occasions I was told that documents were outstanding when they had already been supplied.

The cumulative impact of these delays was severe. I was left carrying the property for many additional months and ultimately accepted a significantly lower sale price.

In my opinion, the process demonstrated poor communication, a lack of urgency, and little appreciation for the financial consequences to the client.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend Katie Sanderson or Holden Smith.

Excellent service from Holden Smith. A huge thank you to Lucy and Lauren who handled my file. They were friendly, incredibly professional and always available to answer any questions I had. The inclusion of the app was also a fantastic convenience I wasn't expecting.

Many thanks to Lauren and Lucy for their conveyancing work and to Alex and Alice for their associated work. All first class and a thoroughly positive experience purchasing our house.

This was a big step for us,having been in our previous home for many years.The team were helpful explaining the process,and giving extra support as we needed it.

i wish to express the biggest thank you ever , for the HARD WORK , and professional service received by Francesca Graham , with the purchase of our new property

I was recommended to Holden Smith Law by my mortgage advisor. Leah was appointed to me and it was quite smooth from beginning to end. Leah was speedy at replying to any questions I had and she was very helpful during the whole process. I recommend this company.

We were unfortunately affected by the PM Law scandal and were recommended Holden Smith by a mutual connection. We had a really positive experience working with Donna. From the outset, she took the time to properly understand our situation and went far beyond what we had experienced with our previous solicitor. She identified key points that had previously been overlooked and used her expertise to successfully help us secure money off the house. Her thorough approach gave us confidence throughout the process. Donna was also clear, responsive, and professional at every stage, making what could have been a stressful experience feel much more manageable. We’re very grateful for her dedication and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a solicitor who truly goes the extra mile.

Joe Furness was extremely helpful throughout a complicated transfer of equity and remortgage process. He was patient, responsive and proactive in resolving issues, including a last-minute lender redemption problem which saved us a significant amount of money.

I really appreciated his professionalism and persistence in getting the matter completed successfully. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic service selling our property with Holden Smith. Chloe & Zack were extremely efficient and proactive. Would highly recommend.
