Property first registration

Jonathan was very helpful picking up the pieces from my late Aunts estate after the firm
We were using Coles Solicitors had an intervention by the SRA in August 2020
and were shut down.
Jonathan's work involved doing a 1st registration and dealing with HMLR for the propertys after the original deeds got lost in the intervention, then dealing with the sale of them. His expertise, knowledge and approach was very professional. Communication was brilliant and things were carried out in a very promt manor.

Excellent Service

Many thanks to Bailey Smailes Holmfirth. The whole process of writing our Wills was very straight forward, professional and efficient experience with Sarah Palmer.
We would highly recommend Bailey Smailes and especially Sarah to anyone looking to write their will.

Found Sarah very approachable previously. After a few years it was like meeting a friend who you hadn't seen for a while. Friendly, efficient and a sense of humour, like all the staff I have met at Bailey Smailes.

Beaming smiles with Bailey Smailes

Lyndsey Bland at the Holmfirth office dealt with the conveyancing in the purchase of our new home. At all times she was friendly, helpful and efficient and ensured that everything went smoothly and as quickly as possible.
Bailey Smailes will be our first port of call for any legal matters in the future for us.
