OK soliciors who made several mistakes

They were nice and seemingly professional to begin with however, they made several errors on official forms which delayed the completion of my divoce and caused me some embarassment - sending a form to my ex-wife saying I intended to move in with someone within the next 6 months and completing forms for the courts incorrectly.

They charged the same price for this service which was quite poor.

They aren't a great company, but not appauling either

Excellent! Helpful, honest, practical

I really found that working with Emma and the team from Ramsdens took a lot of the stress out of it. We sold 3 family homes in the space of a year and 2 of them were more complex than normal but the Ramsdens team really helped us through the process. Great value for money too!

Excellent Service

Emma at Camden's Solicitors completed a lease extension for us in record time with no stress, I am externally grateful that she did this so quickly and saved us money. Unfortunately the property sale was not as straight forward, BUT not due to any fault of Emma. I cannot fault Emma's communication and dedication to our case, she provided an outstanding service and made our side of things extremely easy. Emma was always available to talk to us, update and advise us, she was patient and informative when we needed it. If only our buyer's solicitors had been as competent as Emma.

Ramsdens complete probate for intestate estate

I live in Perth, Western Australia, and have recently received an inheritance from a relative in England who died intestate. Ramsdens Solicitors LLP of Halifax, England, has been dealing with this case since being appointed by my family. I was also appointed administrator of the estate on behalf of my family during this time.

I would have no hesitation in using Ramsdens Solicitors again should a similar situation arise, and am particularly happy to recommend Michael Robinson, Senior Associate Solicitor, to anyone who has need of a senior probate solicitor due to his knowledge, understanding, empathy and efficiency in dealing with this estate.

Ramsdens is always good at getting back to the client/good at replies

The team I dealt with my transaction was fantastic. Specially Stephanie Crowther. She was always good at getting back to my queries/concerns which is a relief. Having bad experience in the past from a different solicitor, I was so impressed by the service I received by Ramsdens and I will always highly recommend this firm to anyone as they dealt my case professionally until the end.

Sale of property

I cannot recommend Ramsden's enough, they have dealt with the sale of my property with efficiency and care. This is the first time I have sold a property and the experience has been great thanks to Emma Gledhill at Ramsden's.

Very professional and helpful

They have dealt with my divorce, my property purchase and also my will. I had no previous experience of dealing with solicitors and my experience has been very positive. Apart from once when I had to chase them in the property purchase they have been efficient, professional, helpful and understanding. I had limited means of paying the fees and they worked with me to set up a payment plan. I thoroughly recommend them.

Efficient and helpful service received in buying my new house

My estate agents gave me the initial quote for using Ramsdens, which was cheaper than I got from my local solicitors, so I decided to give Ramsdens a go. Despite not ever meeting the people working on my conveyancing, and feeling a little anonymous, the solicitors were always very efficient, usually turning around things the same day they received them. Aamir Arif was my main contact and I phoned him a couple of times to query things and I always found him helpful and no nonsense. I'd definitely use them again.

I had Rhianne Taylor as my solicitor on legal aid for two different family court proceedings and she was amazing. Always replied quickly, had empathy and patience when I was anxious. I highly recommend Ramsdens Solicitors.

Terrible service. I had to constantly chase for updates and any communication. The tone of communications were arrogant and brusque - I seemed to be an inconvenience! Then, after my purchase fell through, they sent me a material bill for what couldn't have been more than 2 hours work in total! AVOID.
