Excellent Conveyancing Solicitor - Highly Recommend!

I recently used Stephen Rimmer to help with the buy of my property, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient. Rebeca Curcher, who handled my case, was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain each step in simple terms. Communication was prompt and clear, which really put me at ease. The entire process was smooth, and their fees were transparent and reasonable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable legal support. Thank you to the whole team!

Great work done

Jack was fantastic and did a great job sorting out my flat purchase. He worked quickly and efficiently and got the purchase completed within 3 months. Answered all my questions and gave me all the detail and info I could have needed.

Our long drawn out relocation

Several friends had moved with the help of Roy Bridge and his team and every comment was positive, I asked our selling agent and his response was instant.....go to Roy Bridge.
We did just that, he had to deal with a 9 week old transaction that suddenly stopped dead, we started over and Roy was excellent, keeping us informed at all times and dealing with the frustration of having someone in the chain who seemed oblivious of how house moves actually work.
On a personal level, he's obviously a very busy man but he manages to communicate very well and I noticed communications from him at times of day that were outside of normal office hours.
So, 10/10 from us.

Highly recommended

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!

House move

I felt the communication from the team was poor I was constantly chasing for information. It seemed they had no urgency and if it hadn't of been for my estate agent I would have been left in the dark.

Conveyance house sale

We have used Noel Martin for conveyancing on a couple of house sales and purchases after some awful experiences elsewhere. We would highly recommend him. He has always been efficient and accessible; communication and updates without us having to chase!

God I can’t thank you enough I had an Irish lady from Northman Ireland defend me last minute after my previous solicitor dropped my case a week before hand and she was amazing. She put my mind at ease and was just lovely so professional

Jack was amazing throughout the whole process. Being a first time buyer made the legal aspect of things very confusing, and Jack was incredible patient, clear and professional the whole way through!
