What I do

I am a Conveyancer dealing with all aspects of residential conveyancing; including freehold/leasehold sale and purchases, transfer of equity and remortgages.

Achievements:

I won the Peoples Award at the ESTAS for two consecutive years running (2023/2024), which recognises staff who go above and beyond for their clients and is based solely on the individual’s reviews.

Supervisor:

Rachel Maxwell

I am friendly, helpful and caring. My friends would say that I have a great sense of humour and my laugh is contagious!

I love to spend time with my family and my two boys (now 18 and 20!). I have also have a dog and love spending time with him and talking him for walks. I also enjoy socialising with friends.

Saved Our Home Purchase, Forever Grateful! We can’t recommend Smith Partnership highly enough. We were caught up in the sudden closure of our solicitors. On the very day we were due to complete, our funds were frozen, our deposit was at risk because contracts had already been exchanged, and we were absolutely devastated. Donna and Rachel at Smith Partnership went above and beyond for us. Every email was answered, every concern was acknowledged, and we received daily updates without fail. They were kind, reassuring, and most importantly, completely honest throughout the process. We were incredibly fortunate to have our money returned in under two weeks, and I genuinely believe the outcome would have been very different had we been with another firm. Thanks to their hard work and support, we are now settled in our dream home, and we cannot thank them enough.

The support and service from Donna Richardson has been nothing short of fantastic. She's kept me informed along with our clients to make the transaction smooth throughout especially as we were operating with tight deadlines, a real credit to the Smiths team. Thank you!

I needed a Conveyancer to help support my clients with their first investment property under a layered limited company structure. As this was an auction purchase the timescales were tight. Donna Richardson has been nothing short of incredible! Amazing with my clients providing the right support and guidance, working with me and the lender to get everything signed off along with working closely with the vendors solicitors to get this transaction through with time to spare. 10 out 5.

Donna and Krishna of Smith Partnership were exemplary in their conveyancing of our properties. They were polite, professional and efficient. Explanations were clear and they were patient when we required further detail. Our thanks for providing us with an excellent service.

I went to The Smith Partnership halfway through a house purchase after a PM law firm closed their doors on all business, leaving thousands of people high and dry. The lady who looked after my case was Donna Richardson. She was brilliant from start to finish. She caught up with the house chain very quickly and always got back to me if I couldn’t speak to her directly. I had a number specifically for her so I didn’t need to go through a long switchboard. I don’t think the move would have happened as smoothly as it did without Donna and her team. I couldn’t recommend them enough. Thank you.

The service I received from Donna, Krishna and Michelle was excellent. Krishna was very patient over the phone and very helpful and Donna always replied to emails if not same day the very next working day. Michelle and Donna worked so hard to get the sale and purchase over the line also with time not on our side. I’m so grateful, thank you team!!!!

We had a fantastic experience with our house purchase, and the whole team kept us informed every step of the way. A special thank you to Donna Richardson, who went above and beyond to take away so much of the stress and worry during what can be a very stressful time. Donna was always available whenever we needed her, chasing things up, answering our questions promptly, and keeping the process moving. Her professionalism, communication, and support made all the difference. We would definitely recommend Smith Partnership to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive conveyancing solicitor, and we wouldn't hesitate to use them again if we decide to move in the future. Thank you for making our house purchase as smooth and stress-free as possible!

Donna, Krishna and Abbie helped me with my first-time house purchase. The process of buying your first house is daunting but their fast replies and use of plain English really helped me to feel informed and involved in the process. They made the process simple and stress free. Thank you!
