What clients say about Watson Ramsbottom Limited
The firm is experienced in conveyancing, family law, wills and probate, and Help to Buy matters. Clients praise professionalism, efficiency, clear explanations, thoroughness and availability, with approachable, sympathetic advisers who provide regular updates and reassurance. However, several clients report poor quality control and diligence in conveyancing (errors in contracts and Help to Buy redemptions), reactive communication, failure to respond to emails, and a reluctance to take ownership—causing stress, delays and extra costs. Overall feedback mixes strong individual solicitor praise with frustrations about inconsistent standards and communication failures.

Going through court proceedings is a stressful and emotional experience.Carrie was brilliant in taking us through the process.Having that advocate, voice and someone fight your corner lessoned the weight and gravity of the situation. I will be forever grateful.
This was my first time using Watson Ramsbottom Solicitors, so I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. Unfortunately, while things went fairly smoothly to begin with, there were a couple of issues towards the end that left me out of pocket and disappointed. Firstly, I was given an incorrect completion statement. I paid the amount shown, assuming everything was settled, only to be told later that the information was wrong and I owed an extra £116. That was frustrating enough, but it didn’t stop there. Because the check on the source of my funds took longer than it should have, and I wasn’t made aware of how this would impact things, I was hit with a further unexpected cost of £270. This was due to the money being used in the redemption statement without proper explanation beforehand. What really disappointed me, though, was the response when I raised these issues. Rather than receiving an apology or a proper explanation, I was met with blame-shifting and excuses. That kind of response just isn’t good enough when handling something as important as a legal or financial transaction. Due to this experience, I would not use Watson Ramsbottom again.
I cannot thank my solicitors enough for their dedicated and professional support throughout what was one of the most difficult periods of my life. They handled every aspect of my case; from the occupational order and non-molestation order, through to child arrangements, financial settlement, and ultimately the divorce with clarity, compassion, and expertise. They kept me informed at every step, explained complex legal matters in a way I could understand, and were always available when I needed guidance or reassurance. Their attention to detail and strategic advice gave me confidence during an incredibly emotional and stressful time. Thanks to their hard work and commitment, I felt protected and represented throughout the process. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing strong and empathetic legal support in family law matters.
The solicitors here at Watson and Ramsbottom have been helping me deal with my case now for almost 2 years. During this time they have been super understanding to my situation, professional and firm whilst being very friendly and efficient. I can not recommend April Stephenson and her team highly enough. Thank you for all your help and hardwork.

Recommended by Anwyl Homes…received documentation & contracts with errors., had not been quality checked for mistakes by solicitor, bad practice towards communication, fail to respond to emails or explain details…threatened to charge for phone contact! not in our best interest, but rather the New Build Developer’s…compared to other conveyancers hired by myself, Watson Ramsbottom offered little support…will never use again!
Thankfully we found Carrie Hyde when we needed her most! Carrie was able to help and advise us during an exceptionally stressful time, cumulating in us taking action in the family courts and getting the protection we needed going forwards. Carrie was professional, respectful and sympathetic. Carrie understood our case and worked really hard to get the best outcome for us. Carrie was available to either meet with us or respond to emails whenever we needed her to.
A long and drawn out process culminating in an unacceptable and unprofessional handling of a Help to Buy redemption error, resulting in unnecessary and distressing pressure from the Conveyancer Despite having personally notified the Conveyancing Executive of an error in the Help to Buy redemption figure the day before completion; which they had not spotted, we were wrongly assured to complete using the incorrect disposal figure. The issue was known in advance and should have been resolved prior to completion. Instead, it has been raised retrospectively 2 months later, and I have been subjected to pressure to cover the shortfall caused by this error. This failure has led to unnecessary stress, delayed registrations, and the risk of knock-on impact to onward transactions. Communication has been reactive rather than proactive, with responsibility being pushed back onto the me as the client rather than owned by those responsible for progressing the transaction. A disappointing lack of diligence and accountability by the legal professionals we paid to advise and protect us during the sale of our property. I would not recommend.
Absolutely amazing service from the team, stress and hassle free. Very professional and efficient from start to finish.
