First Class Service

My Aunt's Probate was handled by Ivana Bailey and assisted by Sarah Watson. The service from the outset was polite, professional and ultimately very pleasurable. Both were extremely approachable and provided advice and guidance throughout. I was kept informed on a regular basis with clear, relevant and coherent updates which provided me with a great sense of confidence. At the outset it was explained to myself that my Aunt's last Will (produced elsewhere) was invalid as it was undated but they had been able to retrieve a prior Will that had been laid with yourselves and that they would proceed with this.
This saved a huge problem and the legalities were explained fully and in clear English.
I was fully aware of what was happening throughout the whole process and both Ivana and Sarah strove to keep me updated even when I was abroad for four months and only had access to a phone. This I found very professional. The sale of my Aunt's house was also undertaken by Ramsdens whilst I was abroad and this could not have gone smoother despite the circumstances. Before the conclusion of my Aunt's Probate, the case was referred to HMRC. I was informed immediately that this would likely take some time. It did, but I had been prepared for it by Ivana and Sarah who diligently chased them throughout the whole process, eventually leading to HMRC dealing with my Aunt's case as a priority.
The whole process overseen by Ivana and Sarah was so smooth it left me feeling incredibly looked after and satisfied at its conclusion.
Both Ivana and Sarah were a credit to yourselves and I would like commend them for their professional service.
It was a pleasure to have them handle my Aunt's Probate.
I would certainly recommend Ramsdens and would definitely use again.

I used Ramsdens Huddersfield for the conveyancing for my new house. I’m a first time buyer and they made the procedure so easy and everything was completed very quickly and I was moved in within 2 months. A huge thank you to Andrew Chappell, William Walsh and Laura Smith.

Excellent experience despite complex challenge

Ramsdens, specifically Andrew Chappell, Laura Smith and William in the Huddersfield office, gave us expert guidance in our successful attempt to buy derelict land behind our home in southwest London. They had been recommended by my sister, whose house sale they handled, and proved a solid choice. The team kept up pressure on the vendors for more than 21 months and pushed back against unreasonable demands for extra fees after the costs had been agreed. They also responded to emails out of hours when necessary to keep the legal ball rolling. Their sterling work means that we should now be able to add a significant garden to our ground-floor property that we might enjoy in retirement, adding considerable amenity to our estate and value to the property overall when it is passed to our families. Cannot be more highly recommended. Simon and Jadwiga Greaves, Clapham

Excellent Service

I had an excellent experience working with Ramsdens Solicitors while purchasing my property. They were professional, efficient, and kept me well-informed throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and clear communication made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I always felt confident that everything was being handled with care and precision. I highly recommend Ramsdems Solicitors and their team to anyone looking for reliable and knowledgeable conveyancing services.
