Kristine was a gem from start to finish of our mortgage application. She was happy to answer any questions we had regarding the mortgage process through several emails and one MS teams chat. Highly recommend.

I used Blacks Solicitors on a recent re-mortgage application from an investment property coming off a bridging loan, and timing was of the essence. I must say that they came highly recommended by my mortgage broker and they did not disappoint. Amy Whiting and Helen Carter dealt with the case and from start to finish they were very professional, communicated all steps of the process, and most importantly very efficient reducing time and keeping the transaction as streamlined as possible. Highly recommend and will definitely be using again in the future, thank-you both!

The whole process was easy from start to finish. Liam and Heidi are very efficient, kept us fully informed and always responded to queries very quickly.

I call this first the legal mortgage therapist. They are fast, approachable, accessible and more importantly respectful. I have dealt with Andrew Lancaster, Andrew Smith at the start and Jenna who have handled my case with a never seen before therapy approach. They are not bossy respectful and fast in their job and my mortgage took around six weeks from start to completion.

I feel it only right to take the time to write a review, because Nicola at Paris Smith Solicitors has been nothing short of exceptional. I recently found myself navigating five simultaneous mortgage applications, all of which needed to complete on the same day. The complexity and pressure involved could easily have become overwhelming for both of us, but Nicola's professionalism, expertise, and unwavering commitment ensured that everything progressed smoothly from start to finish. What truly sets Nicola apart is her communication. Throughout the entire process, she was consistently available by email—which, given my profession and working hours, is not always my preferred method of contact—but even more impressively, she was readily available by telephone whenever needed. Most remarkably, she remained accessible whilst on annual leave to ensure completion happened regardless of her own circumstances. That level of dedication is simply exceptional. Her commitment speaks volumes about her professionalism, but more importantly, about her character. Nicola genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to support them when it matters most. If I am completely honest, my previous experiences with solicitors have often left me feeling that they can be uncommunicative and somewhat aloof. Nicola is the exact opposite. She is approachable, responsive, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgeable. At every stage, I felt informed, supported, and confident that my best interests were being looked after. As a result of this experience, there will not be a single legal matter in the future for which I will not seek Nicola's assistance. I have found that elusive and invaluable thing: a professional whom I trust implicitly and who I know will always act with integrity, diligence, and genuine care on my behalf. Nicola is a tremendous asset to Paris Smith, and every client fortunate enough to work with her should consider themselves in very safe hands. Thank you, Nicola. Your efforts were genuinely appreciated and will not be forgotten.
