Some solicitors are better than others

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.

A representative from Ramsdens Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 14 January, 2025:

We’re sorry your experience didn’t live up to your previous experience and our own high standards. We understand that the matter has now been resolved to your satisfaction, but if you still have concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Amber you are a star

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.

Upmost professionalism and knowledge

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.

Amazing service from Nick Barnes and Emelia Garnett

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.

Lost our personal information

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.

One of the best conveyancing experiences

This review is for a different branch.

We selected Ramsdens Solicitors amongst many that gave us quotations for a property refinance. They were professionalism even at the quotation stage, and the fees were very competitive. It was great a decision we made and we are happy with how quickly and efficiently they conducted our affairs.
We use them again for sure.
Thank you for a great service!

Excellent service

This review is for a different branch.

Beth dealt with the estate of my late father, including the will and LPA. The support and advice she gave was excellent. The empathy and compassion she showed myself and my Mum was excellent at such a difficult time. She put us at ease and took time to explain everything.She dealt with things timely and efficiently.

Cannot tell you how slow they are… staff go on holiday and your life is on hold as apparently ‘no-one else can deal with it’. So far back in time with regards to conveyancing.

A representative from Ramsdens Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 04 November, 2024:

Hi Helen I'm sorry you've not had a positive experience. Please could you send the address of the property and the person you've been talking to to marketing@ramsdens.co.uk so we can investigate what's going on? Many thanks

My wife and I used Ramsdens Halifax for conveyancing services for the sale of our old house and purchase of our new house. Our solicitors were very good throughout the process and were always very quick to answer any questions we had. Special mention to Luke who always replied to our queries promptly and really pushed for our purchase to go through when required. Also thank you to Emma and Joe for all their help. We would definitely recommend for conveyancing.

A representative from Ramsdens Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 02 September, 2024:

Thank you for your feedback, Gary. We’re pleased to hear that Luke, Emma, and Joe provided you with prompt and effective support throughout your conveyancing process. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated.

A client

Spoke to a very nice lady this morning, was told I was going to get a call back. A few hours passed and I did not receive a call. Hence called back to ask when I could expect this call. Instead was faced with a very rude switchboard, who told me that the solicitors do not have time to call me! This was shortly followed by a call by the solicitor 'Emily'- who only called to defend the switchboard, she failed to ask what even happened! Offered no apology instead spoke to me in an unacceptable and unprofessional manner and raised her voice. I will be taking this matter ahead. I would advice clients to seek help elsewhere. There is no respect or professionalism here.

I have working in London commercial property for over 30 years and I have used several large London based firms for property work over that time. I switched to Ramsdens a couple of years ago and Gwen Sharp has been fantastic leading on all my companies large and small transactions. Gwen always has time for a call, is highly professional and great to work with.

A representative from Ramsdens Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 12 August, 2024:

Thank you for your review, Peter. We’re delighted to hear that Gwen Sharp has consistently provided exceptional service for your property transactions. Your positive feedback and continued trust in Ramsdens are greatly appreciated.
