Holden Smith Law Reviews 

Great throughout, fast at getting things done, always there for when I had questions via email or phone. Donna was brilliant

I had a fantastic experience with Holden Smith Law, particularly Keely Moore, who handled my purchase from start to finish.

As a first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions and raised a number of enquiries throughout the transaction. Keely was always patient, professional and responsive, keeping me updated at every stage and explaining everything clearly. Despite a few complexities with the purchase, including additional compliance requirements and enquiries, she remained calm, organised and proactive in getting everything over the line.

Communication was excellent throughout, and I always felt that my interests were being looked after. Thanks to Keely's hard work, we were able to complete successfully, and I am now settled into my new home.

I would not hesitate to recommend Keely and the team at Holden Smith Law to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional and reliable conveyancing solicitor. Thank you again for all of your help.

I have just completed on my property after some chain issues, but Alex Jones has been truly wonderful!! He kept me informed every step of the way.
The first property I bought back in 2021, my estate agent recommended this company to me and I had Alex as my solicitor. He was a trainee at the time but he was so efficient and effective with his response to me. This time around I would not have used anyone else.
All I am trying to say is that a huge thank you to Alex once again!! He is truly an asset to the company.

Great service from Abena, everything with our house sale ran very smoothly. Will definitely recommend. Thank-you so much

Very helpful team, very professional staff who helped my with my matter

Fantastic service provided by the conveyancing team. Special thanks to Lucy, Lauren and Tilly. I was let down by my mortgage advisors and had no clue as to what the next steps were, in order to repay my HTB loan to the government and remortgage, I was lost. Lauren immediately took ownership and went above and beyond her normal role to sort every detail of the application. Without her, I wouldn’t have been able to complete this procedure. I was so worried and stressed about this remortgage until I instructed Holden Smith to help me. I highly recommend this company if you want a smooth, worry free process.

Thank you all again!

At first everything seemed to be going well. I used the app they provided and added all the documents on as they asked. I was contacted as they couldn't find any documents on the app and had to email everything through to them again.
They are very difficult to contact by phone and don't respond to email in a timely fashion.
They could obviously see we had a mortgage on our property but left this until a week before completion to tell us we needed to request a transfer from the lender (which is like re applying for a new mortgage which would have taken weeks to months to have completed). We had never moved with a mortgage so we didn't know this.
I was contacted them every week asking if we needed to do anything further, I was told there was nothing, and that we were waiting for the vender’s solicitors.
by re applying for a mortgage, we would have lost out buyer, as they had been waiting a long time for completion.

we had completed all paperwork on our side and were told that it was the vender’s solicitor who were holding the whole prosses up. This was a common theme that they used (we are waiting for the vender’s solicitor)

once we were told that everything was completed and we had moved in we applied for a mortgage and found that the property was in trust and they had not completed everything. after constant emails and trying to chase them by phone. We managed to complete everything 11 months after moving in.
Blaming the vender’s solicitors became a common theme from them, the estate agent was sending me all contact from the vender’s solicitors and it was Holden Smith who were holding things up and not completing things in time.

We used Holden Smith for our remortgage and transfer of equity - although they completed the process for us, it was not without it's issues. On 2 occasions, our personal details were sent to the incorrect email address (despite us flagging this after the first time), and another occasion where we were sent somebody else's personal details on a form (again, we flagged this but it took a few days for the email to be recalled). Sadly throughout the process we largely felt unsupported, in the dark as to what the process entailed and spent a lot of time chasing. We did receive an apology for the above governance issues, but it did completely break our trust. Because of this, we probably won't return to Holden Smith again.

Written on behalf of may parents that have recently moved home. Zack and the team made the process feel easy and simple, especially as we had a few issues with our purchase. Zack and Julie responded quickly to any queries we had and got issues resolved quickly. We will definitely recommend Holden Smith to family and friends in the future and we can't thank them enough for helping us through the process

Bethany guided me through the delicate process of writing my will with professionalism, sensitivity and care. She was thoughtful throughout, kept me fully informed at every stage, and provided clear advice tailored to my circumstances. Her calm and reassuring approach made what could have been a difficult experience much easier to navigate. I am very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her services.

We recently used the Horsforth branch for the sale of our property. Alex was helpful and efficient throughout which made the whole sale process run smoothly. Highly recommend using Holden Smith and Alex!

Selling my property with Holden Smith and especially Donna Horbury, supervised by Zack McKindley-Baines, has been made easy. I felt well supported throughout the process, no question was too small or silly, with quick responses and comprehensive explanations. They have kept up the high level of service that I experienced from them and Holden Smith on my previous purchase and sale, so can be confident that they will provide a similar level of service in the future.

All the staff was very helpful and professional

Absolutely the worst people I have dealt with. If you are looking for honesty and a trustworthy team to get you through the house-buying process, then please avoid these. I had the worst experience ever, and the Branch Manager in Elland is a horrendous person to deal with, who was mainly anonymous and when he was present, either ignored or misled things. I can honestly say that the whole company just want the money, I have made complaints and nobody even responds to these. Awful Awful Awful!!!!!

Very professional and efficient service, Bethany was excellent and very helpful.

Great service from Katie & Eleanor always quick to respond and very proactive. 5 stars,
Would recommend.

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.
