First Class Conveyancing Solicitors

I have been absolutely delighted with the service I have received from Andrew Chappell and his team, (Leah Shaw and Laura Smith). As a first time buyer you are never quite sure what to expect, but everyone I have dealt with at Ramsdens has been professional, friendly and prompt at responding to any queries. It was not a straightforward purchase, but Andrew dealt with all hurdles efficiently and with good humour, ensuring I was kept updated throughout. I honestly do not think the purchase would have gone through had it not been for his efforts. I would not hesitate in recommending Andrew and the team at Ramsdens to family and friends. Thank you!

Wonderful client service

Charlotte and her property team were simply amazing and so far ahead in terms of client service compared to what we were used to in Birmingham. Ours was not an easy transaction given that it involved a listed building in a conservation area, but Charlotte's guidance and rapid response to any of the search or indemnity issues took away the worst of our stress.
While we hope that this is our last house-move, we shall not hesitate to use Ramsdens in the future for other legal matters.

Absolutely Appaling service

By far the worst experience I have ever had with any firm. Zero customer service, email queries unanswered, phone calls not returned. There is zero accountability and the only way I finally got someone to look into my case was to contact a partner to see what was going on, and why no one had replied to my numerous emails asking for an update.
They sat on documents for 6 weeks before processing them, then lied about not recieving emails. Total, total disaster. Stay away.

Highly recommended!

Ramsdens have just dealt with the sale of my Mum’s house and I’m super impressed with their service. Laura Evans was always on the ball and quick to respond. A very professional firm and reasonable fees too.

Efficient in difficult times

The conveyancing of my house was undertaken in unprecedented times and on the whole both Emily and in particular Naomi handled the situation quickly and to my satisfaction. Naomi always returned any calls or sent emails quickly and always managed to answer any queries to the best of her ability, given that she was probably working from home. I quickly worked out that our case was only looked at on a Wednesday so was prepared get answers on that day.

Outstanding service received from day 1 to completion

The service received from all the team at Ramsdens has been outstanding. For what could have been very stressful and time critic the whole process was completed in 6 weeks. The portal is so helpful and great to keep track of progress without having to email for updates. However, any emails sent to Joanne and Rebecca were answered promptly and efficiently.
I cannot say more about the whole team at this branch other than keep up the great work and we will definitely use your services even if they are not linked to a particular financial product. Thank you so much and.look forward to dealing with you in the future. Sarah and Karl
