Arianne is one of the best solicitors I’ve encountered—both professional and kind. I had to see her twice because a section of the form was missing after I initially filled it out with her. She was more than happy to help me make the corrections without requiring another appointment and payment . I would 100% recommend!

Last time I moved I used Ramsdens to both buy and sell and I found both solicitors efficient and diligent. This time around though I had a lazy solicitor who did little more than relay information parrot fashion leaving me to decipher what response to take. My advice for anyone considering using Ramsdens for conveyancing is to check out the reviews on the profile of the individual solicitor you are to be assigned - the good ones will already have good client reviews, the not so good ones probably won't have any reviews. Its not the firm but the individual solicitor that makes or breaks your experience.

Amber, your exceptional expertise, dedication, and attention to detail have been nothing short of outstanding. Your proactive communication and unwavering professionalism made the complex process of purchasing commercial property remarkably seamless. I couldn’t have asked for better support—truly a 5-star performance! Thank you for going above and beyond.

Unfortunately, our family had no other option but to use a solicitor and I am so glad we selected Ramsdens, Liam and his team have been a godsend! Liam has an amazing ability to condense feelings, facts and wishes into thought-provoking letters. Ramsdens have maintained the upmost professionalism and care throughout our ordeal. Once again, many thanks for your excellent work on our behalf.

I had incredible support from Nick Barnes and Emelia Garnett in the York Child Law team at truly the worst time of my life. At the outset they helped and supported me and were able to reassure me at every step and even predicted some really difficult twists, turns and outcomes in a really complicated case. Legally they were extremely competent but also understood it was the worst time and supported me on a personal level by understanding that my family is my world. Words can’t justify how grateful I am in securing justice for my children.

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.

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.

Laura, William and Andrew organised our sale with a friendly politeness and it went through with minimal problems. I found the online portal a little unforgiving but we easily worked around that. Good easy process so recommended.

Being somebody in the property business im well used to doing business with conveyancers having sold 4 properties in the last 4 years.on 1st Dec. 2024 I accepted an offer on a leasehold apartment,having already had a quote from Ramsdens I instructed them to proceed with the conveyancing,within 4/5 days I had completed all the forms,paid a disbursement fee,provided deeds and everything else that they needed to proceed.
They said that they would contact Together Housing for the Leasehold pack and when they get a response about the fees they would contact me for the funds.
When I hadn't heard anything from Ramsdens for 7 weeks I assumed the Leasehold pack had been paid directly by Ramsdens and forwarded to buyers solicitor and would be added to my bill at completion,but no on 29 Jan I was asked for £210 for the leasehold pack saying Together Housing had just got back to them regarding their request,making out it took them 7 weeks to respond,REALLY.
I sent Ramsdens £210 to forward to Together Housing thinking things would progress nicely from now on.
How wrong I was as 3 weeks later I rang and spoke to 'Emma' who said they had sent the payment on but had heard nothing yet,which turned out to be untrue as when I rang 1 week later this time speaking to 'Joe' I was informed that their accounts office hadn't informed them I'd forwarded £210 to them so they hadn't sent it on to Together Housing but had just done so that day.
Today I was passing their new premises in Dean Clough so thought I get a further update,spoke to 'Joe'who was in reception and one of the people supposedly dealing with my property,he said he was too busy to look at the moment but would definitely email me later today to keep me up to speed.
Yes you guessed it 'no email',glad I hasn't holding my breath.
We're over 3 months in now and Ramsdens haven't even got the documents yet to send to the buyers solicitor.
So what I'm advising is DO NOT,REPEAT DO NOT PICK RAMSDENS TO DO YOUR CONVEYANCING.Choose anybody but them as they will deceive,tell you untruths and definitely not stick to the speedy service they promise at the outset.
What Ramsdens are unaware of is that a few of my properties are leasehold from Together Housing and im in regular contact with Rhian Williams Home ownership officer who confirms when and if Ramsdens have contacted them regarding my properties.
I will continue adding to this post as things progress OR NOT.
So watch this space
