Good communication, consistent, personal service.

We recently used Ramsdens (Elland office) to complete our sale and purchase conveyancing.

Our transactions were handled by Jolene Briggs and her team from instruction to completion.

Communication was consistent throughout and increased at times where required.

Following the date for completion being decided there was some challenges with our buyers solicitors however Jolene was on hand to support and ensured we completed on time.

Really great, local firm.

why shop about if the service is 100%

I don�t doubt prices for the services offered are in line with other legal firms, so why shop about if the service is 100%

We were given all the help we needed

Jodie made everything very clear and gave us the necessary advice where it was needed. She made a rather intimidating process simple and acceptable. We were given all the help we needed, and Jodies approach was friendly and unthreatening. Thank you.

I contacted Ramsdens solicitors to see if they would take on my Medical negligence claim due to them been local I provided them with all the information on the phone due to it being numerous medical problems involved I informed them of the paperwork I had and I needed to have a appointment to show them the paperwork and fully explain the full details of the case but they claimed they would not take on the case because it was not a 110 percent case without seeing all the documentation I had so their no win no fee is a farce they need you to be on crutches or in a wheelchair so it looks like I will have to go further afield to find a decent solicitor instead of a local solicitor so stay well away from Ramsdens if you want a solicitor who cares about local people and help people with serious medical issues in Elland how can they refuse to at least let you have a half hour appointment to go through the documents to fully understand ALL the evidence if you need a good solicitor don’t use Ramsdens

We were referred by our estate agent for the sale of our house. We were so impressed at the speed they got things going and their service we asked them to handle the purchase of our new property as well. Rachel, Andrew, Taylor and the rest of the team were great at getting everything sorted. We received really quick replies to any emails we sent. It was a really good efficient professional but friendly service. Thank you.

We would highly recommend Ramsdens conveyancing team in Elland. Jolene and the team did a fantastic job to ensure our house sale and purchase went smoothly and without any delays. We had a target completion date very early in the transaction and thanks to their brilliant communication, this target was met. Thanks for all your help!
