Sale of 1st property

Stephen Rimmer was very useful, quick and efficient.

I used their services to buy and sell my first property and will be proud to continue working alongside such a professional team. I would always speak highly of Leta Kerin the individual that would work endlessly for my individual needs.

I would definitely recommend Stephem Rimmer LLP as their conveyancing work on a recent remortgage was very smooth & efficient. I can particularly recommend Ms Leta Kerin who was particularly helpful & effective.

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.
