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,"

One of the Best

Wasn’t looking forward to making wills ! Not because we are uncomfortable about facing our mortality , but because of bad experiences with solicitors in the past ! How refreshing to meet a down to earth guy who explained every aspect of the process succinctly and in understandable language! How lucky we were to be given Adrian as our solicitor! If you use Stephen Rimmer ask for him , although we hope he is representative of the way Stephen Rimmer solicitors deals with all of their clients Keith and Christina Breach

Fantastic service

I reached out for support on my dad's will as his had become outdated following the passing of my mum 15 years ago. My dad struggles with documents, processes and had financial concerns. Rebekka provided care and attention throughout this process and helped guide my dad through, providing clear advice and options that he could understand. She made the whole process incredibly easy and straightforward and done so with courtesy, patience and a smile (which may seem insignificant to some, but to my dad this gave him a sense of comfort in what otherwise would have been a stressful situation). I can't recommend Rebekka and Stephen Rimmer enough, they were fantastic. Thank you for all your help and support throughout the process.

Knowing that her patience, clarity, and warm approach gave him such a strong sense of comfort means a great deal to all of us at Stephen Rimmer. Thank you for trusting us with such an important family matter!

I recently used this company for a probate case, it has taken 4 years to complete, very difficult to get response to queries and received very poor service

We always try to give the best service possible and it is disappointing to learn when our levels of services fall short. We are now in contact and looking to resolve these issues.

Brilliant solicitor and excellent team

Jack and his team were excellent. The vendors solicitors were a nightmare - didn’t respond to questions and didn’t understand the complexities of selling a house in Sovereign Harbour. They dragged things out 2 months longer than needed. Even on completion day Jack couldn’t get an answer from them!! But all the team persevered and eventually got this over the line. Without them I would have walked away from this purchase long ago. Can’t praise the team enough - they kept things moving and helped to keep me sane.

I had an excellent experience with Stephen Rimmer Solicitors during the purchase of my first home. The whole process was handled efficiently and professionally from start to finish. Everything was completed quickly, and all the legal paperwork was dealt with smoothly, making what could have been a stressful process much easier. I would highly recommend Stephen Rimmer Solicitors to anyone buying a property. Thank you for making my home purchase such a positive experience.

Thank you so much for the review Gosia. We’re delighted to hear your first purchase was such a positive experience. Thank you for the recommendation.

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!
