Great first time buying experience

I was recommended Delicia by a friend and was not disappointed. She and her firm were responsive and proactive - I never had to chase them for anything. Although the purchase process had some hiccoughs, I was reassured by their attention to detail and would thoroughly recommend her to anyone else. Possibly not the cheapest out there, but you get what you pay for and I wouldn't want to save on this sort of thing if it meant poorer service. I've heard stories from friends of mistakes in the documents their solicitors provided them, but I had no such experience with Paris Smith, everything was great.

We’re really happy with the service Delicia provided while helping us sell our house and purchase our new property. Delicia and her team were communicative and kept us updated at every step of the process. They were also incredibly efficient and speedy in dealing with everything, which made what can be a stressful process feel much easier. We’re very grateful for all their help and would fully recommend Delicia to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor.

Clear, expert and very helpful

We had been given partial and confusing advice on a tenant situation and didn’t have confidence in it so went to Jacky for a second opinion. She was clear, more confident in her expertise and helpful in advising solutions and leaning in to act upon them for and with us. She advised a clear way through and we now have a good outcome for us and the tenant. I would definitely recommend her and her firm overall, Paris Smith.

Emma Provided 106 provisions for our selves as requested by a particul difficult and somewhat contraditiry local authority in Berkshire near reading. How they can make a simple process last for months following there own polices mainly self defeating. Emma work with us to complete this despite the best endeavors of the authority. Completed in the end. But months instead of weeks Fortunately she had the stamina to endure this and our patience to comply.

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.

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.

Professional and Highly Recommendable

I was recommended to Paris Smith and Michael Moore several years ago, and I have never been disappointed with the service, expertise and professionalism they have provided throughout my dealings with them. They were engaged to guide me through the process of successfully exiting my business, a journey that inevitably presents a number of challenges and hurdles that can be daunting fir any business owner. Throughout the process, Michael Moore and Alex Pegg provided the business with clear, concise and highly knowledgeable advice, drawing on their extensive experience and expertise in this area. Their professionalism, attention to detail and ability to navigate what can be a complex and demanding process instilled me with considerable confidence. They were always approachable, responsive and focused on achieving the best possible outcome. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone seeking expertise and support within the commercial arena.

Compassion & integrity

Grace assisted me earlier this year when I experienced an employment situation I never expected to face, after 30 years of loyal service I was in resettlement negotiations with my employer when I was invited to attend a private conversation. I had already been talking to Grace regards the resettlement from the US back to the UK when the conversation was integrated. Grace immediately called me back & was true compassion & integrity guided us through the whole negotiation process with experienced sound advice & a "we will win" attitude which in our time of need exactly the support we needed. I cannot recommend Grace highly enough & praise her professionalism, manner & overall goodness. We will be forever thankful for all her help & wish her a bright long lasting career!
