Great service..

The team at Bailey Smailes in Holmfirth handled all the family affairs relating to the wills following the death of my parents and also handled the legalities of the house sale.
This took a massive load of work and stress away from us as a family.
I consider their services good value for money.

Sarah and Blythe dealt with all the problems associated with our recent sale and purchase which had many twist and turns in the process. They were very professional and kept us in the loop at all times and I felt reassured that they were looking after our best interests. I would definitely use them again in the future if the need arises.

We used Bailey Smailes by luck as we were looking for a smallish local firm. It was a minor alteration to our wills, but we were impressed with both the service and the confidence that we gained. We will most definitely use again if we need further advice.
