Excellent Service

We received excellent service from Emma Gledhill and Luke Samples during our recent house sale and purchase. The portal is very easy to use and speeds up the process of sharing important documents. A professional and efficient service. Thank you.
Highly recommended.

Lost our personal information

In 2019 Ramsdens were acting for us and sent a letter and documents containing personal information to an incorrect address. These were never seen again. We were unhappy with Ramsdens’ conduct and reported them to the Information Commission who found that
Ramsdens had failed to comply with their data protection obligations.

We would not trust Ramsdens again with our confidential information and recommend anyone thinking of doing so to satisfy themselves that Ramsdens now have systems in place to take adequate care of clients’ personal information.

Exceptional services

This is the second time we have used Ramsdens for a house purchase and yet again gone above and beyond to keep us well informed, up to date and reassured throughout the entire process. Especially with the difficulties we’ve had with sellers and buyers, the team have been superb. Special thanks to Andrew, Laura and Leah at the Huddersfield branch for going the extra mile and ensuring our sale and purchase went through smoothly and efficiently. THANK YOU!

Medical Negligence

I just want to personally say thank you to Nick Stojanovic, he has been an amazing support throughout this whole process. I contact Nick following what was the most heartbreaking experience I had within a NHS trust. From the onset Nick was approachable and showed great compassion and understanding of my experience and I immediately felt at ease. He had advised me throughout this process and never made me feel like I was too much of a burden with each call and email I have sent. He has given honest and clear advice throughout my claim and has made this experience effortless. I would 1000% recommended him and this firm to people who need honest and reliable professionals. Thank you again Nick.

Excellent FTB experience

A special thanks to Andrew, Laura and Leah at the Ramsdens Huddersfield Office. Buying a property as first time buyers was daunting to begin with, but Andrew's team went above and beyond to ensure all queries were satisfied, including an unusual private water supply arrangement. The process was fast, smooth and efficient and all parties, including the seller's agent complimented the excellent work carried out by Ramsdens. Would definitely recommend!

My wife and I used Ramsdens Halifax for conveyancing services for the sale of our old house and purchase of our new house. Our solicitors were very good throughout the process and were always very quick to answer any questions we had. Special mention to Luke who always replied to our queries promptly and really pushed for our purchase to go through when required. Also thank you to Emma and Joe for all their help. We would definitely recommend for conveyancing.

A client

Spoke to a very nice lady this morning, was told I was going to get a call back. A few hours passed and I did not receive a call. Hence called back to ask when I could expect this call. Instead was faced with a very rude switchboard, who told me that the solicitors do not have time to call me! This was shortly followed by a call by the solicitor 'Emily'- who only called to defend the switchboard, she failed to ask what even happened! Offered no apology instead spoke to me in an unacceptable and unprofessional manner and raised her voice. I will be taking this matter ahead. I would advice clients to seek help elsewhere. There is no respect or professionalism here.

I have working in London commercial property for over 30 years and I have used several large London based firms for property work over that time. I switched to Ramsdens a couple of years ago and Gwen Sharp has been fantastic leading on all my companies large and small transactions. Gwen always has time for a call, is highly professional and great to work with.

I used Rhianne Taylor for my divorce & Joanne Canning/Scott Aked for my remortgage and the service was seamless. All three people I dealt with were incredibly patient and helpful and managed to get everything through for me on my tight deadline. They were very communicative and responsive and always there to help with the many questions I had. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.
