Joe knows what he's doing - and always timely and in advance of what's required. Pity our buyers' solicitor couldn't be as efficient or effective. Would definitely recommend!

James Regan was perfect in assisting my purchase of a bed & breakfast. He made a process which could have been overwhelming into a straight forward and stress-free procedure. I highly recommend him & and the firm and look forward to working with them again in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with James Regan from Stephen Rimmer LLP for the purchase of a bed and breakfast guest house in Eastbourne recently. This was the first time for me to purchase a business property and on top of that I was temporarily living overseas during most of the purchase process. James made what could have been a daunting and overwhelming experience into a straightforward and simple process. This was thanks to his jargon-free and clear explanations and guidance throughout the purchase. James was quick to respond to any queries or confusion. I am truly appreciative of the service provided by James and his company and I will be highly recommending them to anyone who requires a solicitor.

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.

from Stephen Rimmer LLP

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!

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.
