    Would never recommend or use again

    The service was not satisfactory from start to finish, lost documents. Lied about contacting times for other businesses to gain correspondence. If you ring up and ask for a call back don’t expect one. Some people of the firm cannot look at a calendar and get a date correct. Lost important paperwork and then tried to blame external processing times of another company. Worst experience ever, would not recommend

    Will update

    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.

    Will writing.

    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.

    Alex Osborne, Private Client Executive from Holden Smith Law has been absolutely outstanding helping us get our documents back from a Law firm who went out of business. Alex kept us up to date and was excellent in continuing to keep us up to date and forwarding documents that he was able to retrieve. I would 100% recommend Alex and would not hesitate using Alex again in the future. Excellent service, communication and outcome.

    Hi Wendy, We are pleased to read that you are happy with how Alex handled your case and have passed on your kind words to him. Kind regards, Holden Smith.

    Still waiting on my uncles will being sorted out. No communication from them whatsoever in last 16 months. And changed people dealing as wills executives 3 times over this period. And totally ignoring emailed information requests on updates.

    Hi John, We are sorry to read about your experience. Please may we ask that you provide us with further information including the name and case reference number to info@holdensmith.co.uk and we shall look into this further. Kind regards, Holden Smith.

    Sukhmani of Holden Smith handled the sale of my brother in laws home from the beginning of July 2025. He was on end of life and there was a risk of everything being frozen if he passed away prior to sale, but he had strong wishes that his sale would take place during his life. Sadly, after signing the contract, he passed away a couple of weeks short of exchange. The sale was still agreed. The buyers still wished to purchase and were prepared to wait pending probate. The proceedings were dealt with as quickly as possible and the sale completed on the 26th November 2025. It was an emotional time but Sukhmani and team dealt with everything professionally and with patience, care and support. A big thank you from the family

      Avoid at all costs

      A truly, truly frustrating experience with Abena Boateng. Communication has been extremely poor throughout this transaction and my questions and concerns were routinely dismissed. My offer was accepted six months ago and I still have no certainty as to when this purchase will complete. Months of delays and practically begging for updates that should have been provided proactively. The lack of clarity and communication has made this an unnecessarily stressful experience. I have now lodged a formal complaint with the Legal Ombudsman. Avoid this firm for your own sanity.

      Alex dealt with both the sale and purchase of our properties. It wasn’t a smooth process (through no fault of Alex’s) but he kept us updated throughout and was efficient when dealing with requests and problems. He never failed to answer the phone to us or respond to queries. We would use Alex and Holden Smith again and recommend to others.
