Highly recommend

We were selling a property and used Stephen Rimmer as our solicitors. The experience was excellent! We cannot recommend them highly enough. Joseph and Ryan responded almost instantly to emails and enabled the sale to go through as quickly as possible. They were really easy to communicate with and very helpful and polite. We will definitely be using this company again. Highly recommend!

Straightforward and Trouble Free

Stephen Rimmer, under Partner Roy Bridge recently handled the sale of my father's property following his move to residential care. Although an uncomplicated private sale, Roy and his team handled matters diligently and professionally throughout. Fixed price conveyancing with no unexpected surprises Roy responded to enquiries in a timely and informative fashion and the sale was completed to time and in line with our expectations. Many thanks

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.

We had a great experience with Roy from Stephen Rimmer LLC. As first time buyers he, and his team, were able to take us through all the complexities of the buying process without any jargon or condescension. The whole process was smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend Roy, and will certainly be coming back in the future as and when we need a solicitor.

Dear Sam, Thank you for your feedback and recommendation. We are delighted to hear that our team provided clear, supportive guidance throughout your first purchase, helping to make the process smooth and stress free.

I recently used Stephen Rimmer solicitor for the conveyancing of my house, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service provided. From start to finish, the process was handled with professionalism, efficiency, and clear communication. They kept me informed at every stage, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. What can often be a stressful experience was made much smoother thanks to their attention to detail and proactive approach. I particularly appreciate Roy Bridge and Daisy Dyer for their dedication to keeping things moving and ensuring deadlines were met without unnecessary delays. Their expertise and support gave me real confidence throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable conveyancing solicitor.

Thank you Aby 😊

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.
