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.

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.

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.

I can't speak highly enough of the incredible service provided by Ivana Bailey at Ramsdens Solicitors. When my family was faced with the overwhelming task of sorting out the estate of our deceased Aunt, Ivana stepped in and supported us every step of the way. From the very first consultation, her professionalism, empathy, and expertise were evident.
Ivana meticulously managed all aspects of the estate, ensuring that every detail was attended to with the utmost care and precision. She and her Team handled complex legal matters with ease, always keeping us informed and explaining everything in a clear, understandable manner. Their support extended beyond just the legalities; they showed genuine compassion and understanding, making a difficult time a little more bearable.
Both executors particularly appreciated Ivana’s proactive approach and her ability to navigate through the intricacies of estate administration with such efficiency. Her dedication to our case was evident, and her tireless work ensured a smooth process from start to finish.
If you are in need of a solicitor who is not only highly skilled but also truly cares about their clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Ivana Bailey and the team at Ramsdens Solicitors. They made a challenging experience much easier, and for that, we are immensely grateful.

Ramsdens were recommended to me by word of mouth. My father had passed away and I was selling his property. Ramsdens Huddersfield gave a fair quote: Joanne Canning was allocated to me. She was kind, easy to deal with, gave good advice, clearly had the experiance and above all, gave me confidence - despite the road not being an easy one. Thank you Joanne.

Absolute hats off to Amber Daly. She has recently assisted us in a commercial property purchase and her service has been phenomenal. I genuinely did not know solicitors like her existed. Fantastic communication and hard work! Thank you again.

Used Ramsdens services for the sale of my property, despite having every issue thrown our way, Jordan and Maria were always brilliant and professional dealing with every problem. They are approachable, responsive and action matters promptly. I will surley use their services for all my future transactions and specifically ask for Jordan to handle the case.

If you want to put your children first and focus on finding solutions in their best interests, then avoid this company. They're more interested in delaying proceedings so they can rake in as much money as possible out of the legal aid pot.

Be wary of using Ramsdens as financial deputy if your loved one's funds get near to the threshold below which a deputy cannot charge more than the fixed annual fee.
Ramsdens Court of Protection(COP) team in Halifax have badly let down my mother for whom I am primary carer. I am in the process of asking various authorities on how to have them investigated for:
- Not responding promptly to urgent request for critically needed equipment to prevent life-threatening heat exhaustion;
- Ignoring questions about moving deputyship to a lower cost solicitor local to where we are now living, abroad, after telling me that Mum's funds are getting low so they need to tighten their belts;
- Going on 'fishing trips' to find any excuse to pause large payments (including the equipment mentioned in first point): First they asked a barrister's opinion, who told them they should continue to fund care as if we were still in the UK, then instead of following the advice, going to ask someone else, whose suggestion of opening a case at the COP they seemed to prefer -- the COP can take years to consider cases, during which time their client would have died of heat exhaustion last summer if I had not personally funded the equipment needed to protect mum from the 40-degree plus temperatures that many elderly people have died of here
I can only assume that Barristers do not give advice for free, so I would like an independent investigation to look into whether and how much they charged from Mum's funds that are under their care, and whether the Barrister in question is often given fees by our deputy, in other words whether there is some mutual back-scratching going on at clients' expense.
UPDATE: Ramsdens have replied below that I am not their client. Given Mum's dementia this basically means Ramsdens are trying to avoid transparency about their work, knowing that Mum cannot sign any kind of power of attorney. Hopefully they won't be able to hide from auditors.
