Harriet is a total star to work with

Communication was brilliant at all times. We didn’t have to chase Harriet ever as she responded so efficiently to everything that came in. This sale took over a year due to a break in chain and throughout she kept in touch just to see how we were with house sale. Would highly recommend.

Professional, Clear and Good Communication

We recently worked with this team for the sale of our old home in West Yorkshire and the purchase of our new one in East Yorkshire. The service was exceptional from start to finish.

The professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication they showed throughout the process were truly impressive. They ensured a smooth transition between homes, handling both transactions with great care and diligence.

We've now been in our new house for over a week, and it's fantastic! The move has brought us so much joy, and we're excited to start this new chapter in our lives.

Thank you for your hard work and commitment. We highly recommend their services to anyone in need of conveyancing expertise!

Made the process so easy to understand

Ramsdens were recommended by an estate agent friend and they really lived up to their word of mouth review. Sarah Hodgson and Danielle North were the people I dealt with most and both were fantastic. Sarah was my conveyancer and she made the whole process easy to understand as it was my first property purchase. Can’t recommend this firm enough.

Great communication & professional

This is the second time that I have engaged Ramsdens Solicitors. The first time, three years ago, was for the sale of a property with a freehold issue, which Katie Sharp resolved to our advantage; the second time was for the sale of my late mother's property. The property completed this week.

At all times, the conveyancing team Katie Sharp and her assistant Harriet Midgley acted professionally and promptly. Questions by email were replied to on the same day, and lo and behold, both of the team actually answered their own phones! If you left a message a ring-back was prompt, again the same day.

The sale of my later mother's property completed this week, in record time, during a pandemic. I am very grateful to Ramsdens for making a distressing time less stressful.

I am also in the process of using the will department for probate for my late mother's estate. Again, Alastair James has gone above and beyond the level of service that I would expect; he has guided my sister and I through the process with tact and knowledge.

I would highly recommend these solicitors for their conveyancing, will writing and probate services.

Brilliant service

We used Ramsdens for our recent house sale/purchase. Sarah and Danielle were fantastic and provided excellent support throughout the entire process. It was a complex 8 property chain and they managed to navigate us successfully through the process and far exceeded our expectations.

Outstanding Service and Professionalism from Ramsdens Solicitors

Ramsdens Solicitors in Holmfirth have been absolutely fantastic in handling the sale of my property. They are extremely organised and always on top of everything—you never need to chase them as they’re already ahead of the game and keep you well-informed throughout.

The team is diligent and professional, with excellent communication delivered in a friendly and approachable manner. They keep the sale moving smoothly, prompt you on anything you need to do, and stay on top of any potential hold-ups.

Altogether, it was a great experience—one of the best I’ve had. I have no hesitation in recommending Ramsdens Solicitors for their outstanding service!

Sarah and Danielle make the most wonderful team!! They have made a stressful journey a delight. I would recommend them to anyone and would 1000% use them again. They are professional, acted in a timely manner and they are happy to pick up the phone and talk to you and explain legal jargon- which I have found so many other firms don't seem to have the time to do! Geniually thankyou.

Katie & Harriet were a brilliant team when it came to selling/buying property recently. It was a complicated process with a few hiccups along the way involving a couple of chains that fell through, but they were great with their communication and we felt reassured by them. We couldn’t be happier that we dealt with them, and they’re an asset to Ramsdens. We’d have no hesitation in recommending them to others. Thank you both again!

Grateful thanks to Sarah and her team at the Mirfield branch of Ramsdens in connection with a recent sale. They willingly gave their time to guide me through the process which in some respects was a little out of the ordinary. Their no-nonsense approach is perfect for managing your expectations. I wouldn't hesitate in engaging the conveyancing services of Sarah and her team again.
