The Best Firm of Solicitors in Town

We have recently completed on a property and used Holden Smith Law in Piccadilly, Manchester. We had the pleasure of being looked after by Ryanne Smith and the Branch Manager, Brittany Clark. What an outstanding service we were given by these two wonderful solicitors from start to finish. Their communication skills were exceptional and the entire experience was one of upmost professionalism and integrity. I cannot stress enough what a smooth and stress free transaction this was and will not hesitate in recommending Holden Smith Law, Manchester to all my friends, family and colleagues. It is so refreshing to deal with solicitors who actually know what they are doing - well done Ryanne and Brittany for your dedication to your clients and attention to detail! You blow other, lesser solicitors, out of the water!

Amazing experience with this company

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Zack McKindley-Baines of Holden Smith Solicitors for his continued support, professionalism, and dedication throughout my purchase.

Zack was consistently responsive, clear, and thorough, even when the process became prolonged and complex. He took the time to explain matters in plain terms, kept me informed at every stage, and ensured that nothing was overlooked. His calm and proactive approach made a stressful process far more manageable.

It is clear that Zack genuinely cares about his clients and takes pride in delivering high-quality work. I am very grateful for his commitment and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor.

We initially had a bad experience with one of the solicitors handling our case, with lack of clear and prompt communication. This resulted in our case being delayed quite significantly. After a while, we got assigned a different solicitor (Ahsan Khan) who handled our case extremely well and we eventually managed to complete our purchase. Overall, I am satisfied with Ahsan Khan's work, but encourage future clients to ensure that your designated solicitors are communicating effectively from the get go.

A good service when faced with unforeseen challenges

Holden Smith provided conveyancing for the purchase of my first property. The process was all brand new to me but my solicitor, Hannah, was patient and had great people skills. Some things were last minute our end and we had unforeseen challenges with the property I was buying but Hannah very much rolled with the punches and reached out to me if there was anything I needed to action my end.

It has been 3 weeks since we completed and moved in. After the whole ordeal of buying our first home which was stressful, I only remained with a positive review of Holden Smith and Lauren. She was patient and really thorough. It was such a rollercoaster period as we had a purchase fall through 4 months in. We still stayed with Lauren onto the next purchase which literally took 8 weeks from viewing to completion. Not to say we didn’t face some delays due to her being busy, but she always always took my call. And on the call, she was patient, polite and professional. Overall we remained with a positive feeling of Holden Smith and we have settled into our new home. We are happy to recommend these solicitors♥️

Happy with the conveyancing service

I was recommended to Holden Smith Law for selling a flat. I am happy to have used them. They replied promptly to my emails and phone calls. There was a big rush at the end, as the buyers wanted to complete before Christmas. Zain Khan made every effort to facilitate this, and it was achieved.

Challenging Sale - Great Solicitors

I've had the worst journey selling my home due to errors made by third parties, however, Holden Smith (Keely Moore) have stuck with me to completion and I can honestly say, have been a great support.
If my solicitor had been as poor as some I could mention, I would really have been at the end of my tether, so I am very grateful for their professionalism.

Fantastic service all round

Absolutely fantastic service from Francesca at Holden Smith. Her attention to detail, care for the complex processes, and ability to move mountains when necessary was all so appreciated. Her communications were brilliant and we were so grateful to have had Francesca on our side. We would recommend her to any house mover.
