Buying first flat

5

Leta gave excellent advice and support for buying my first house, including meeting tight timelines (for example when the vendor wanted to complete prior to the October budget), all at a competitive price. I would strongly recommend her.

Leta at Stephen Rimmer LLP was very professional, diligent, and helpful undertaking the purchase of my flat in SE London. The report was extremely thorough and the purchase went through swiftly. The fees were also quite reasonable. Would recommend and use again

Moving house is meant to be one of the most stressful experiences in life, but Leta Kerin made it easy.
Communication was great, I was kept up to date with the situation, and if I had questions they were answered quickly. Even though I’m moving out of area I’ll stick with Leta for the next house.

Focused like a laser beam

Leta was on top of the whole process all the way. She kept me up to date with how things were progressing, even as the other party's solicitors were running slow.

Really pleased with the service. There was the stamp duty change mid way through the process but she kept me informed and updated.

Polite and professional all the way!

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.
