Conveyancing for house sale and Wills
We decided on using Stephen Rimmer as our conveyancing lawyer for the sale of our house based on the reviews we read and are very pleased we did.
Our lawyer was Jack Prosser who kept us informed at all times and dealt with any queries in a clear and professional manner. All emails and phone calls were replied or answered very promptly.
We also created our wills at Stephen Rimmer and dealt with Jo who again made the whole process very efficiently.
We would certainly recommend Stephen Rimmer be contacted in the first instance for any legal requirements.

Excellent Conveyancing Service
Was extremely satisfied with the service when I was buying a flat for the first time at aged 58! The price quoted remained virtually the same at the end when the bill came. It was at least 50-70% cheaper than the quotes i got locally to me in Hove. I was provided with clear information and Rebecca and Susannah answered any questions I might have promptly. I also got an very detailed pack listing virtually all the information I would need about the new property. They made the process very easy and stress free. Thank you.

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!

Avoid as they cannot be trusted. They lie and are incompetent in conveyancing.

AWFUL AND APPALING. I simply came here to enquire on behalf of myself and in support of brave ex-RAF Fraud Investigator John Alexander Paterson and I was greeted by the rudest Receptionists on two occasions. Apart from the fact that I want to take legal action against Police Brutality after my face was in the paper as a missing person and I had been assaulted right there outside the Tourist Information Desk near the steps of Stephen Rimmer in Hyde Gardens and dragged in handcuffs and reported as "safe" in the local paper, I met John Alexander Paterson the following year and this brave man has put Stephen Rimmer Corrupt Solicitors on notice. I have been a victim of corruption and this brave man's life is in danger for exposing corruption from within. He has a lot of supporters.

Noel Martin is a brilliant conveyancer, I have recommended him to a few of my clients and they have all been really impressed at the service he offers. He always answers the phone, his costs are reasonable and he simplifies the legal jargon. I will be happy to recommend my clients to him long term. Thank you Noel.
