How hard can it be.
My mother visited the offices a week before Christmas last year, to issue instructions to draft a UK will, really easy, nothing complicated, what could go wrong, well, it took over 3 months to even get a draft, that draft was wrong, she somehow had gained a grandchild. Email was sent, we are now another 2 months down the line and still not had a draft. They never return emails or calls, promised to call my mother last week to discuss, surprise surprise, nothing, we are now over 5 months in from initial meeting, yet still don’t even have a draft copy. I even called them on her behalf as I have power of attorney, regarding a query she had, nope, spoke to me like an idiot. What a shambles.

Collected on:
Seemingly overworked and unresponsive lawyers
Pro:
Our lawyer seemed consciencious and detail-oriented and when we did speak she explained the legislation to us clearly.
Con: We instructed Holmes & Hill at the beginning of the year to help with the leasehold renewal of our property. Communication with the lawyer from beginning to end was slow. One meeting was missed, emails took a while (it took almost four weeks for the solicitor to let me know the response from the landlord) and she seemed so busy with many other jobs that ours didn't feel high priority. When after 6 months she advised us to wait rather than proceed (due to lack of clarity on applicable legislation that could have been mentioned to us at the outset) we decided to close the matter and go elsewhere.

Excellent Company of Solicitors
This review is for a different branch.
Having used Holmes & Hills several times I highly recommend them. The staff offer a professional service at a friendly informative level. I was especially impressed by the level of communication including evening & weekend emails keeping me totally up to date & informed, whilst keeping within their price quotation.
I recommend them 100%

Probate and conveyancing.
This review is for a different branch.
Following my late mothers death in April, I as executor, needed legal services to secure Grant of Probate, and conveyancing for the sale of the property. During both processes, I was kept informed of progress. Any questions I had were answered promptly. I am pleased to say the whole process, for both matters was seemlessly completed by 21/08/2024.
A representative from Holmes & Hills LLP responded to this review on 13 September, 2024:
Thank you for your review Richard. We were pleased to be able to help you.

Tracy was exceptional and very professional, understanding and extremely helpful during a stressful 15 months. The fixed fee was really a good idea and very helpful to know what the costs would be.
A representative from Holmes & Hills LLP responded to this review on 13 September, 2024:
Thank you for your review Chris - good to know the fixed fee was a benefit!

Excellent service - Cannot thank you enough.
This review is for a different branch.
Charlotte provided an exemplary service from start to finish in my case. She remained professional at all times, but also supportive in making such an unpleasant experience much more bearable; she went above and beyond to ensure I reached a fair outcome. I believe I could not have reached such a positive outcome without her aid - Thank you.
