Excellent service

I used Paris Smith for the purchase of a commercial property and I very much recommend Isabelle. Isabelle took over my case when her colleague went on maternity leave and she did so seamlessly. It was a slightly challenging purchase due to various freehold and listed building challenges but she was clear and quick throughout. I was kept well informed and I felt well supported throughout the process.

Wonderful service provided

Jennifer was extremely knowledgeable and held my hand with calm and patience through my leasehold enfranchisement request. She guided me through a tricky situation and often gave advice on how to maximize my chance of a successful out of court settlement. Can’t recommend her enough. Will definitely use her services again

Professional but friendly approach.

I chose to work with Paris Smith having worked with them before on a different matter. I was not disappointed. All paperwork was sent by email and explained. If I didn't understand they were very patient and helpful and talked me through stages step by step. I would definitely recommend it gives you a great piece of mind knowing that they’re working with you to make sure that we reached a successful conclusion.

Expensive conveyancing and very little communication and follow up. Everything was ok in the end but had to chase up on multiple occasions to maintain progress on the property sale. Would not recommend this firm as you pay a premium price for a basic level of service.

09/06/2026

Dear Mr Green We’re sorry to hear that you felt the need to leave this review. We value all feedback and would welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience further. If you would like to get in touch with the solicitor who handled your case, they would be more than happy to speak with you directly. Kind regards Sandy (Business Development Manager)

Straight forward conveyancing for house purchase but... Kept to the quote and kept the communication flowing. Had to chase a little as we got close to completion but purchase from offer to completion only took 7.5 weeks.

Although it was recommended by the developer and initially gave the impression of a ‘no sale, no fee’ arrangement, this was not the case. I was charged a substantial fee despite no successful purchase being completed.

A representative from Paris Smith LLP responded to this review

26/11/2025

Dear Yubiao We are sorry you felt the need to leave this review. As advised by the team, they do not offer a ‘no sale, no fee’ service for the work involved in your matter and an abortive fee for the work completed was raised. It was unfortunate that your purchase did not proceed to completion but unfortunately this was out of the team’s control and was subsequently down to your related sale not proceeding whereby you had separate solicitors acting. Kind regards. Sandy Business Development Manager

Same experience as S.E.S! They have been "administering" my late mother's estate for 6 years. She was 98, and her Will was written by them as a Trust, with themselves as Sole Trustees. So, on top of the £16K that they paid themselves for probate, they are into us for another £40K, as of 2025. It is a small cottage which has been the home for many years of the excellent lady who cared for my mother. She pays £5000 pa rent, not that we have ever seen it, and for administering it they have charged an average of £8000 pa over this period - a task we would have performed for nothing! We have no idea how much we currently owe, or why - they don't explain. 14 lawyers have been involved, most of whom we have never heard of. But they've told us clearly they're not going to step down as Trustees until we pay their bill, so they're threatening us as well. They even threatened to sell it, which would have put our tenant out onto the street in the middle of winter. Their behaviour may be legal; but it has been unpleasant - my mother intended it for the benefit of her grandchildren, one of whom has Downs Syndrome. No doubt, as with S.E.S, Paris Smith would also class these as mere "concerns"!

Dear Neil, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the administration of your late mother’s estate and the associated costs. Your feedback regarding fees, rent, and overall estate management has been noted and will be reviewed internally, as transparency, fairness, and client satisfaction are very important to us. We welcome you to reach out directly to discuss this matter further and address any outstanding concerns.
