Overall smooth experience

I had full trust in Georgina and Roy who handled my first time buying experience. My only feedback would be that as a first time buyer I wasn’t familiar with the process and terminology, so sometimes felt that things could have been explained more clearly as someone without this knowledge. Overall though this was a minor thing, and I found Stephen Rimmer to be great communicators and I am happy with the service I had.

Fantastic service

I instructed Roy at Stephen Rimmer to handle my recent sale and purchase and it was a refreshing change from my previous experiences with solicitors. Whilst my buyers solicitors proved to be challenging to work with, Roy was efficient with keeping me up to date with the progress and I could trust that he was doing all he could to keep things moving along. I would recommend Roy/Stephen Rimmer solicitors to friends and family and will likely use them again in the future. Thank you!

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.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Leta as our solicitor for both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new one, and we genuinely couldn’t have asked for better support throughout the entire process. From start to finish, Leta was professional, responsive, and incredibly thorough. Buying and selling at the same time can be stressful, but she made everything feel smooth, well-managed, and under control. She kept us informed at every stage, explained things clearly, and was always available when we needed reassurance or advice. What really stood out was how she truly went above and beyond. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and her dedication and attention to detail gave us complete confidence that everything was being handled properly. Thanks to Leta, what could have been a very stressful experience turned into a positive and seamless one. We are so grateful for all her hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and exceptional solicitor

What an absolutely amazing review Stuart. Thank you so much for taking the time to share it.

S. Rimmer LLP were engaged to complete the sale of an apartment after the solicitors I engaged initially failed to provide timely execution of their responsibilities, lacked diligence and without warning suddenly ceased operations. S. Rimmer were recommended (Emily Reed) and they took over the sales process after which everything went smoothly and within 4 weeks contracts were exchanged. They have been engaged again to sell another apartment. Excellent client service.
