Holden Smith Law Limited

I used the Denby Dale branch to conduct a review of my will and update and was extremely satisfied with all aspects of my dealing with them, everyone being relaxed and friendly. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Martin Crenshaw was excellent in dealing with out house sale.

The process of reviewing our wills and bringing them up to date was excellent. It was a pleasure to conduct the process online, not exactly face to face but that was no problem, our choice. The resultant wills were exactly what we wanted. Cost seemed reasonable compared to some stories we had heard. We chose not to deposit the completed wills. However there was one area of disappointment… admin. The initial process went well, but then elements of communication took on a rather annoying jumble. I appreciate that the company was in the process of moving etc., but the disjointed email trail let things down. Guess it just needs someone to review and oversee adim processes to get it sorted. Despite this glitch, would recommend the service, and we are happy with the practical outcome.

Great advice from start to finish, lovely solicitor. I went to make my will, not something we want to think about but it needed doing. I'm glad I chose Holden Smith Law.

Quick and professional I would like to thank, Leah Walbank for her professional and Brillant service that she provides at Holden Smith, would definitely recommend to anyone that is a first time buyer. Rudolf

had an extremely disappointing experience with Katie Sanderson at Holden Smith. What should have been a relatively straightforward property sale turned into an 18-month ordeal. As a direct result of repeated delays, unnecessary requests, and poor communication, I estimate that this experience cost me approximately £45,000. This financial loss included: A forced reduction of the sale price by £20,000 Ongoing mortgage payments Council tax Service charges and other holding costs Additional management pack fees and related expenses During the first sale, an insurance claim that was unrelated to my property was raised as an issue. Even after the insurance company confirmed that they could not provide the information being requested, there appeared to be no practical workaround. The transaction stalled and the first buyer withdrew. When a second buyer was found, all documentation was already in place, including the management pack. Despite confirmation from the managing agent that nothing had changed, I was asked to purchase a new management pack at additional cost, causing further delay. Communication was extremely frustrating. Emails often went unanswered for days, and on several occasions I was told that documents were outstanding when they had already been supplied. The cumulative impact of these delays was severe. I was left carrying the property for many additional months and ultimately accepted a significantly lower sale price. In my opinion, the process demonstrated poor communication, a lack of urgency, and little appreciation for the financial consequences to the client. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Katie Sanderson or Holden Smith.

Many thanks to Lauren and Lucy for all their hard work in the conveyancing work on our house purchase. Also thanks to Alex and Alice for associated works. All absolutely perfect. We had a first class experience.

We had not moved for over 30 years,so much had changed.The team were very helpful in explaining the moving process

Absolute amazing company! I can't believe how quickly they done Everything always on hand to answer a question. When we heard horror stories about solicitors and time scales we were worried but not with Holden Smith. Daniel, Zain and especially Julie were just an amazing team and got us all done I'm super fast time. Nothing was ever a bother or a stupid question seriously highly would recommend them!!
