I do not recommend.
This review is for a different branch.
I used this solicitor to sell my house and purchase another house. Hannah Pilkington was the solicitor and Amy was her assistant. It was always Amy that I had to deal with even though Hannah said she was my solicitor and she would be taking care of the case. The house I was going to purchase, I found out through independent research that the row of approximately a dozen trees at least 70 foot tall all had Tree Preservation Orders. This I feel should have been identified within the search as the trees lined the side of the drive of the bungalow. When I contacted Watson and Ramsbottom and said about the TPOs, Hannah said that nothing showed up in the searches!! I explained I did a simple search and identified that they all add TPOs. This should have shown up in the survey and I would not have continued with my purchase. I did tell Hannah this, and she said I still have to pay!! I also have to do my own research on who was responsible for the dry stone wall that extended down the side of the bungalow to the bottom of the garden, the garage and further down. Amy told me that nothing was on the deeds, and she presumed it was my responsibility!! I said this was not good enough and I proceeded to find out for myself. Amy also said that the deeds are gone ‘silent’ so again, she presumed it would be my responsibility!! It later transpired, it was the homeowner at the bottom of the private lane that was responsible for the Drystone wall. I am bitterly disappointed at the service I received and do not feel I should have paid for the purchase of the bungalow that I never proceeded with once I discovered everything myself. Also, I hand delivered all the requested signed legal documents. Amy telephoned me and asked if I would send them again. I explained I had already delivered them by hand and suggested that they find them. I received a phone call a couple of hours later to say that they had been located!!
Absolutely useless!! Avoid!

Highly recommended
This review is for a different branch.
I got in touch with Watson Ramsbottom following a recommendation and have been very impressed. Swift, consistent contact and sensitive handling of a difficult personal situation. I have never needed a solicitor before and was very distressed when getting in touch, but I'm now feeling more confident. Would highly recommend if you need dispute or family law support.

Family court support
This review is for a different branch.
I had representation and support from the family division of Watson Ramsbottom, mostly from Kayla and Sophia. Both solicitors were very professional and generous with the advice and expertise around a very contentious court experience

Lack of communication and lazy staff. Terrible. Please avoid!
This review is for a different branch.
As a cash buyer I was told by Watson and Ramsbottom that my house purchase would be swift. The only thing not told is how lazy their staff were in communication. 4 months later and having the complaints team review the case they responded that my 14 calls initiated 4 callbacks and they found this as acceptable as updates were available on the portal. The portal only ever had one update and is totally rubbish due to the staff not updating it. I will not be using Watson and Ramsbottom again and warn others to think twice before using them.

I was so heartbroken when I noticed I wasn't able to move my assets
This review is for a different branch.
I was so heartbroken when I noticed I wasn't able to move my assets from the company,
I lost so much and was really devastated, I had to seek help until I was directed to Mrs Olivia Trader and his Recovery company and Foundation that helped me to recover all the money I had lost. It was really worth it. I will be happy to share my experience with anybody, you can also connect with him for help and assistance for a successful and secured investment without any loss of funds.

Great conveyancing experience
This review is for a different branch.
My partner and I have just used Watson Ramsbottom conveyancing team for the second time and couldn't be happier with their services! Our case was managed by Ben in the Bristol office, with the assistance of Ayoola. They were polite and professional, maintaining great communication throughout the process.
We would thoroughly recommend their services and will definitely be using them again in the future.

Brilliant legal representation

I have received legal support from Maajid for a few months now. He has supported me through a really difficult time. Just having the reassurance and quick response has been a huge relief and I cannot thank him enough. Much appreciated for all of your hard work and legal advice. Sam
