Poor communication

For the past five months, the process of buying our first home has left us feeling like outsiders—ignored and deeply disheartened. Despite numerous attempts, we never received a direct response from our conveyancer, who would only reply when our mortgage advisor intervened on our behalf.

However, after speaking to Caroline twice today, we finally received a phone call from our conveyancer. The process isn’t over yet, but Caroline, we truly appreciate your professionalism, willingness to listen, and strong work ethic. We only hope that our conveyancer follows your example, making the final steps toward completion smoother and less stressful.

Thank you again Caroline

Not the best

Depending who you get will depend on the experience - I have used them previously which is why i went back to use them again - unfortunately the person who dealt with me previously was leaving and we were given different contact details. Communication throughout was quite poor and on day of exhange/complete myself and Estate Agents were doing all the running around to ensure we could complete on a Friday - if it wasnt for our sense of urgency i highly doubt we would have completed on the day we did.

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.

We approached Holden Smith to help with a commercial lease assignment and I'm glad we did. They helped protect us from missing information in the process and made sure we signed the lease with everything needed in place. Colette herself was great, very timely and easy to get hold of, always being on the end of the phone if we needed her. I will use their services again and i highly recommend their services.

I would like to thank Tilly, Sarah, Sam and all the staff who have been involved in supporting the conveyancing/sale of my property. The service provided has been first class; I have never not been able to contact and speak to someone when I have needed to, and they pulled out all the stops to help the sale complete in line with my timeline. The whole process has been stress free. Amazing. Thank you so much.
