Jack communicated clearly and concisely, providing updates as needed. His efficiency and experience gave us confidence throughout the process, and we trusted him completely. A colleague recommended Jack to me, and I'm very grateful they did. I will also be recommending Jack to everyone I know.

Emily was absolutely amazing for us as first time buyers going through the conveyancing process for the first time - great communication and importantly for us quick and efficient work which allowed us to beat the stamp duty price rises. We also got great feedback from all other parties in the process, with everyone showing appreciation for Emily's speed and professionallism.

Emily Reed is the person you need for a smooth and stress free time buying or selling a house. She is very efficient and a good communicator which made the whole process easy from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to use again. She is also really personable and you feel that your transaction really matters. In the last 6 months, sold my late mothers house- an emotional affair but handled with sensitivity and kindness. Also purchased a property in Devon for which I received a detailed buyers pack from Emily. A big thank-you!

After an absolutely hectic 10 months of buying a home, including switching to a different property! Noel and the team have been the most reliable, supportive, and genuinely kind people we’ve dealt with.
What a fantastic team! I’m so glad we had Noel by our side throughout this process.

I have purchased and sold a number of properties over the years and cannot recommend the services of Roy Bridge and the team at Stephen Rimmer enough. Roy is hugely skilled and has always proven to be diligent, proactive, communicative and transparent in his fees. I will definitely be working with them again and have already recommended their services to friends and family.
A representative from Stephen Rimmer LLP responded to this review on 26 February, 2025:

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.
