Ben Dawson
Associate Solicitor | Watson Ramsbottom

Highly recommended Ben Dawson, my solicitor who is handling the legal documents for me to purchase my new home in UK. I’m lucky to have Ben to help me settle a deal who is new to UK.

Ben is super responsive, high efficiency, smart and reliable. You will not be disappointed!

Thank you Ben!

House sale and Purchase

I've used WR for the purchase of 2 homes and the sale of 1. Superb, professional and friendly service every time. They respond to emails within minutes and never more than a phone call away to help with any questions small or large. Suzanne, Claudia and Gillian at the Chorley Office - could not thank and praise them enough for their help, guidance and diligent hard work. Would highly recommend

Excellent communication and level of service.

We used Watson Ramsbottom as they were the conveyancing service providers for the estate agents selling our late parents' property. The decision to do so was a wise on. The solicitor assigned to us was efficient, quick to respond to requests for clarification and help and would always communicate with us clearly, calmly, patiently and in a timely fashion. She was in short, excellent.
The legal aspects of a house sale are always a fraught time but for us this was dealt with with a minimum of fuss and we felt well-supported throughout the process.
In terms of our experience with a house sale I can't recommend our specific solicitor from Watson Ramsbottom highly enough.

This review is for a different branch.

The solicitors here at Watson and Ramsbottom have been helping me deal with my case now for almost 2 years. During this time they have been super understanding to my situation, professional and firm whilst being very friendly and efficient. I can not recommend April Stephenson and her team highly enough.
Thank you for all your help and hardwork.
