Emily Reed was recommended to me and she provided a very good service dealing with the sale of my property. She was efficient, responsive, timely in dealing with the conveyancing process. I would highly recommend.

House sale

I first used the services of Stephen Rimmer a little over a year ago and based on their very professional service I decided to use them again this time for both the sale of our house in East Sussex and the subsequent purchase of a new house in East Anglia.

Professional but friendly

Rebekka talked me through each section of the LPA and explained the areas I was unsure about quite clearly.
I didn't feel rushed, and it was nice to know I could always contact her if I needed any further help. Thank you Rebecca for all your help.

Very smooth running throughout, had very little contact with Noel, as everything was streamline and all paperwork was issued very promptly. Noel was there as and when questions arose, which he advised in a patient, professional manner. We would not hesitate in recommending Noel & his team to future clients.

Outstanding Choice of Solicitor for a recent House Sale

Rebecca and Susannah at Stephen Rimmer were engaging, attentive, and professional throughout the entire process, and we felt comfortable from day one that we were in very good hands. Having never sold a property before, and living remotely as we do, we needed a high degree of clarity and reassurance which we received at all times, and always in a friendly good-natured manner. I cannot speak highly enough about the excellent efficient service we experienced. Many thanks, David & Louise Edwards.

Couldn’t recommend Noel and his firm more. This is the second time we’ve used them and Noel has been extremely efficient and helpful throughout the sale of our property. Thank you Noel!

So I have been reported for harassment and one of these solicitors is supposed to be representing me. In fact it's me being harassed. I've been slandered over social media. Been threatened in my home and while walking down the street so much so I am scared to leave my home now. This week had RSPCA visit because I've been reported for animal neglect. When RSPCA visited they had no concerns and said my animals are in great health and very spoilt and closed the case. I have tried to get legal advice from the solicitor for the past 5 maybe 6 weeks never available was told to call Friday she would defo be there's to talk but nope I'm at breaking point I need urgent advice someone to listen and give advice

Absolutely fantastic and extremely professional firm. Our solicitor, ‘Jessica Russell’ has dealt with the sale of our home - and got things moving within 2 months! She has really looked after our interests throughout and made sure the transaction has been as stress free as possible. Thank you Jessica! We will never use any other solicitor / firm in the future. 10 ⭐️’s.
