Repeat Client - Conveyancing

I have used the services of Stephen Rimmer and Leta Kerin specifically a number of times now. Leta always gets the job done, the fees are fair and reasonable, and Leta has been particularly helpful and efficient in driving my most recent property purchase through at pace following a previous unsuccessful transaction.

Move home with a repossession

Leta is my go to solicitor for every property deal I have made in the last two decades. I would not willingly use anyone else ( Leta retirement is not an option for you), everything she does is clear easy to understand and delivered in a way that is digestible. Nothing is too much work for her and she always has my best outcome at the core of her values. Amazing service and phenomenal outcome as always. Could not rate her high enough.

When we purchased a property recently, we did not hesitate to instruct Stephen Rimmers. They are highly professional and communication is excellent. The process was problem free and Leta Kerin and her team looked after us fantastically well. At all times we felt we were in 'safe hands'. A BIG thank you to the conveyancing team. We would highly recommend Stephen Rimmers.
