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.

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.

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!

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.

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

24/06/2026

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.
