My wife and I live in the south I wanted to buy a property for our daughter but in trust and near Nottingham. The previous home that we were fortunate to be able to purchase for her 15 years ago needed to be sold and although we have bought and sold other properties in our early years, we are now very well into our 80’s. We thought a local firm to where she would be maybe the best option and had only reviews of law firms Accessible to us, no family or friends locally. Both house sale and intended purchase fell through to add to the challenges we faced. Vision and mobility problems made use of modern technology and requirements of personal identification had us rely greatly on the lawfirm of our choice rothera Bray & Co. Ellie Robinson bore the brunt of this Regarding the conveyancing and James Briggs the Trusts.
Being unable to set face-to-face with Ellie or James, we thought might prove to be a considerable disadvantage that this was not the case. They and an associate Christopher Sweetman could not have been more attentive or kindly guiding us through all of the paperwork which seems to have vastly increased over our years.
It is a pleasure to be able to offer these comments in the hope that they may be a help to others, maybe like ourselves, well advanced in years needing this critically important choice of who will look after these complex matters.
Competence might be easily assumed but kindly and accommodating manner might not be so easily identified. We are very glad to say that we found all those qualities and more In this practice in Ellie Robinson James Briggs and Christopher Sweetman so we hope this may be of help. John and Pamela Bigwood
