The Most Exceptional Experience

"This was one of the most professional service we have ever had. We've used 2 different Solicitors before for our numerous property purchases over the years but whilst their services were good, nothing could compare to the level of exceptional services provided by Stephen Rimmer LLP,"

Highly recommended

Brought a property previously with another solicitor and it was painful. I heard good things about Jack so I thought let’s try him, it can’t be worse! I must say the team have been brilliant. Jack and Lisa supported me through the process making it effortless. They were timely and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. We completed in 60 days. I would always recommended Jack and Lisa to anyone who wished to buy or sell a property. I would also like it noted I have learning disability and the support given to reassure me was great. I am a very happy customer, thank you so much Lisa and Jack.

We selected Stephen Rimmer to handle conveyancing for our recent home purchase following a thorough search of local and national service providers and were very happy with the service provided. The allocated solicitor Noel kept us informed throughout the process and was relatively prompt responding to queries without making us, as first time buyers, feel like we were asking silly questions. Would not hesitate to instruct for any future conveyancing work.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review, Wayne. Noel prides himself on being approachable and responsive. We wish you every happiness in your new home!

Rebecca - my solicitor and Abigail - her assistant, have been very good with my purchase and sale transactions. However, unfortunately I've just encountered the worst customer service I've ever received from any business from the switchboard (Beth and Ann). Very rude and unprofessional. They have left me very upset after the calls. Leta took my call after this and gave me the information I needed/offered to help which I appreciate. However, I will never use this business again after the calls this morning and will actively be sharing my experience for people not to as well.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that Rebecca and Abigail provided you with the professional service and support you expected during your purchase and sale, and we'll ensure your kind comments are passed on to them. We're very sorry to learn about your experience when contacting our switchboard. This is not the standard of customer service we aim to provide, and we're disappointed to hear that your interaction left you feeling so upset. We're glad Leta was able to assist you and provide the information you needed, but we appreciate that this did not undo your earlier experience. We take all feedback seriously, as it helps us review and improve the service we provide. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We genuinely regret that your overall impression of the firm has been affected.

I honestly can’t thank Leta and her team enough for everything they did throughout my home\-buying journey. From the very beginning right through to completion, they were nothing short of outstanding. Buying my first home was one of the biggest and most important milestones of my life, and naturally there were moments of stress and uncertainty. However, Leta and her team were there every step of the way, offering reassurance, clear advice, and regular updates. They were always quick to respond to my emails and calls, took the time to explain anything I didn’t understand, and made sure I felt informed and supported throughout the entire process. Their professionalism, efficiency, attention to detail, and dedication were exceptional. It was clear that they genuinely cared about making the process as smooth as possible and worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to keep everything moving. No question was ever too small, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble Thanks to Leta and her amazing team, I am now a proud homeowner, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for better solicitors to guide me through such an important journey. Their expertise and commitment gave me complete confidence from start to finish, and I will always be grateful for everything they did to help make my dream of owning my own home a reality. I would recommend Leta and her team without hesitation to anyone looking for professional, knowledgeable, and caring solicitors. They truly go above and beyond for their clients, and the level of service they provide is second to none. Thank you all so much for your hard work, dedication, and support—you’ve made an unforgettable milestone in my life a wonderful experience\. Five stars simply aren’t enough!

I rarely write reviews, but this is thoroughly deserved. Leta represented us with our house sale which went through last week. She made the whole process painless and kept us up to date the whole way through. She didn't add costs where they weren't needed, and she found solutions to hurdles that needed to be crossed. My wife and I would just like to say thank you Leta for a super professional service, you are amazing. And without wishing to demean anything you do, cheap too! Thank you again, Jeremy and Rebecca.

Joseph was very responsive and pro-active. He responded to enquiries quickly and was always available for a call. He is the first solicitor I've used who I haven't had to chase. He will definitely be my go to solicitor in the future.

Everything under one roof!

My family have always used Stephen Rimmer over the years and they have always been exceptional in meeting our needs. This time we came to Stephen Rimmer with quite a complex task, my mother wanted to bring a trust to an end that was on the house she owned and then sell the house so my sister and I could have our inheritance now, rather than waiting years because of the trust. Chelsea Hamilton was excellent in dealing with this and explained it clearly what the procedure would be, we then had to tie this in to the house sale where Roy Bridge and his team dealt with the sale, everything went incredibly smoothly, I really don’t think I could trust any other solicitors to do such an outstanding job.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ When selling my flat in London from Germany, a dear friend recommended Stephan Rimmer as my solicitor. I can honestly say that I was not disappointed! From the very beginning, I felt incredibly well looked after. Emily and I shared a similar sense of humour, which made the whole process even more enjoyable. Whenever I got stuck with the English legal terminology or translations, Emily took the time to explain everything to me clearly and in detail, making sure I fully understood what was happening. Thank you so much, Emily, for your tireless help, patience and support throughout the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure working with you, and I truly appreciated the excellent partnership. I would happily recommend Stephan Rimmer and Emily to anyone looking for professional, supportive and genuinely personal legal assistance in the UK. 5 stars without hesitation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review and for choosing Stephen Rimmer to help with the sale of your London flat. It’s particularly lovely to hear how Emily made the process easier for you while you were based in Germany, taking the time to explain the legal terminology clearly and keeping things personal and enjoyable along the way. We’ll make sure your kind words are passed on to her – we know they’ll mean a great deal. Thank you again for your recommendation and for placing your trust in us. It was a pleasure to help, and we wish you all the very best for the future.

Amazing from start to finish. You hear so many horror stories about solicitors, taking tome to complete things and holding the process of moving up. But from start to finish all we experienced was professional quick and extremely help service. I would highly recommend in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We know how stressful moving home can be, so it’s fantastic to hear that you found the whole process quick, professional and helpful from start to finish. Thank you for trusting us with your move and for your recommendation – it really does mean a lot to the team. We hope you’re very happy in your new home!
