Tim at Holden Smith was recommended to me and picked up my property purchase at a stuck time of need! Prompt communications from the firm at all times and ensured completion in a complex sale and purchase process, assisting with the purchase side of things for my new home. Nothing was too much trouble. Didn't matter they were not local to me, as electronically, everything was provided and got through when needed. Thanks for all the help.

House sale not easy

I would not recommend using this firm for a house sale. Very poor communication. Unable to explain the process and then requests for things to be completed urgently. Then when we have done this emails days later to do it again, or ask if it has been done. If you are busy and have to plan time off to get documents signed it would be good to know in advance. I asked numerous times what else do we need to do and when, but didn't get an answer.
The house sale did complete and I am grateful for that.

Tim was the epitome of efficient

Special thanks to Tim Hare for being so so efficient when handling our sale. Not only was it month end, it was the end of the financial year AND the last day before stamp duty increases. Tim was on it from the outset and even worked the Sunday before to ensure everything completed as hoped and planned. If everyone had Tim’s work ethic and conscience, transactions such as this would be so much smoother. Thanks Tim!

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.

I personally think that mr luke undehill should be the incharge of this holden smith branch, no disrespect for other team members but Luke and Alta Giradi has given the dedication to their client and this firm, I don’t like putting up names for individual solicitors but i had to because of the smooth transition during my London Dagenham purchase, so i am writing reviews wherever is possible just to shine their morning, i hope you guys are well and remain healthy. Thank you for your work.

I would highly recommend Luke Underhill and Alta Girardi to manage the purchase and sale of your property. They are both professional, efficient and excellent in their field. I was always able to speak to either of them on the phone with any questions or queries. If on the very rare occasion they missed my call, they did promptly call me back. They kept me fully updated with the progress of my sale and purchase which made this a stress free process for me. I can't recommend them highly enough, they were brilliant!
