Highly recommended

5

We've had the pleasure of working with Leta on not one, but two separate conveyancing matters, and each time she has been absolutely outstanding!

Leta is incredibly professional, making sure everything is clear and easy to understand – no confusing legal jargon here! Her advice is always spot-on and genuinely helpful. What sets Leta apart is how proactive she is; she consistently chased the other side to keep the sale of our property moving forward to completion.

We can't recommend Leta highly enough. If you're looking for a conveyance lawyer who is professional, clear, provides great advice, and ensures everything progresses smoothly and on time, Leta is definitely the one!

Professional and great value for money

Stephen Rimmer acted as our conveyancer in a very professional manner and were great value for money. The one area they could have improved was providing more regular updates throughout the process.

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.

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.
