Absolutely excellent!

I have been using the firm and specifically Zack McKindley Baines for some four years and after twenty years in property investment I have never found anyone close to the service levels received from Zack and his team. I could not ask for better !

A representative from Holden Smith Law Limited responded to this review on 22 May, 2025:

Thank you so very much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review. Zack is over the moon with your kind words.

Recommend Holden Smith Lae

We were assigned Nicola and we were aiming to finish before stamp duty deadline however due to unforeseen circumstances on the vendor's end we were unable to. Nicola worked hard to ensure we did not miss the timeline and was always swift with responses. Whatever had to be done on our end was done efficiently and in a timely manner. I have no doubt that if it wasn't for the vendor's personal circumstances we would have completed in March.

A representative from Holden Smith Law Limited responded to this review on 04 April, 2025:

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a great review, Nicola really does appreciate that you recognised all her efforts.

welbeck avenue Oldham

Although sale was resolved at 2nd attempt,disapointed at lack of urgency chasing 1st buyer who turned out to be a time waster.This lost us approximately 4 months ,annoying as all the time sale
was pending cost money paid out to protect property..i.e water rates, council tax, octopus energy.

Think in future would recommend local firm which would make it more accessible for queries.

Great service very pleased - good communication
