Very poor service, avoid

I used Ramsden LLP for a house purchase as a buy to let (BTL).

If you want the continued stress of constantly having to chase up your solicitor then this is the company for you.

1) Very slow (over 2-weeks at times) to respond despite mortgage offer expiring.

2) No cover when solicitor goes on annual leave, everything just stops instead.

3) Untruths told by Ramsden LLP, blaming others for delays.

4) Poor due diligence - Solicitor didn't pick up on the fact the property had no Electrical Safety Certificate (a legal requirement for BTL property).

5) AFTER completion they chased me for an additional 10k due to an error they made in the financial completion statement.

Make what you will of this... I certainly will not be using them again.

First Class Service

We recently used Ramsdens Solicitors for their conveyancing services to sell our Mum's house after she passed away last year. From start to finish I have nothing but good to say about the company and specifically Amber and Tyler!!
Everything was first class whether that was communication over the phone, email or on their bespoke portal to the ease with which I could submit documents and their general attitude, they were always available and explained everything clearly in plain English not legal jargon.
I don't often leave reviews but had to with this team, we will definitely use them in the future and recommend to friends.

Thank you Amber and Tyler for making everything as easy, straightforward and stress free as possible!!

Review of Conveyancing Services by Ramsdens Solicitors, Wakefield, UK

In late July 2021, I approached Ramsdens Solicitors for their conveyancing services towards purchase of a small house in Buckinghamshire, not far from London. With barely two months to stamp duty deadline, I made the impossible request for completion by September.
Though I was a small client with a limited budget, they allocated the resources needed to get the job done by the deadline. The team of Conveyancer, Solicitor and support staff, worked with speed, efficiency and professionalism that exceeded my expectations. The IT system/portal was user friendly with easy access to documentation and a transparent progress tracking system. For persons who are not literate on legal matters such as myself, the clarifications whenever requested, was quite helpful as well. Am much obliged to Ramsdens for the overall quality of their services.

Very pleased

We recently used Ramsdens for conveyancing and were very pleased with the whole process. Our solicitor was always available or if not, replied to our phone call very promptly. She was friendly, explained everything in language we could understand and always knew without hesitation what was going on in our case.

I felt fully informed and supported by Claire during divorce proceedings. I was confident that Claire was the right person to lead me through this process and was very pleased with the outcome. I have recommended Claire and Ramsden’s to friends.

Made an enquiry for some legal work a couple of weeks ago. The receptionist took my contact details and said someone would contact me soon. Two weeks on and nobody has bothered to follow it up with me. I sincerely hope the quality of their response to an approach for business isn’t representative of the standard of their legal work!

Recently purchased a house from the council under the RTB scheme. Amber Daly and Tyler Maclean have been brilliant throughout and have made a daunting process surprisingly easy. The communication was excellent throughout and they answered any questions I had in a timely and thorough manner. Thank you both for making it as stress free as possible!
