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,"

Fantastic from start to finish

My family have been using Stephen Rimmer as our solicitors for the last few years and it is due to the professional and prompt service they provide. Jack, in particular, has always had brilliant communication and kept us up to date every step of the way - no chasing required. Definitely recommend!

Rebecca is fantastic.

She was polite, professional and everything she did was with purpose and urgency. After working with countless solicitors and constant delays, Rebbeca has got a repeat customer in me.

We had a solicitor acting for us who was very good. However other's on Rimmers staff appeared to be very slow to respond and we believe caused delays in our overall transactions.

We take all feedback very seriously as we strive for excellence in the provision of criminal defence services. We have many based upon client feedback. Unfortunately there is never any guarantees in criminal proceedings with regard to the outcome in a case.

I would absolutely recommend Stephen Rimmer Solicitors and particularly Rebecca Curcher who handled and managed our property purchase conveyancing. Rebecca was approachable, communicated straight away, has exceptional knowledge and advocates for you to ensure you are completely satisfied with every aspect, timely, efficiently and effectively. Rebecca is lovely to work with. She understands just how stressful these matters can be and works closely with you to help you get the result you want. Well worth the fees charged which are standard conveyancing rates. Money very well spent. 👍 Thank you Rebecca.

Emily was amazing from start to finish which also included one false start due to delays by the buyer but Emily stayed with us and guided us through what could have been a very stressful journey. So much of the work was done by Emily without any fuss and her confidence began to rub off on us too. We exchanged, completed and moved into our new home within a week of each other and couldn't be happier with the role Emily played in getting us to this stage. Emily Reed is a star and happy to recommend her to anyone and everyone. There is always an amazing team of people who help deliver such great outcomes and we know they were there helping Emily but she was our primary point of contact and Stephen Rimmer should be proud of all its people and particularly of Emily.
