Disappointing experience
Our first solicitor was Roy Bridge and we had no issues with Roy, he seemed helpful but he then went on annual leave and Joe Sheriff took over our case.
We were very unimpressed with joes work. Joe couldn’t find our mortgage deed a week before we were due to complete, so we had to drive all the way to Eastbourne so he had it. We was on a very tight schedule as our mortgage offer was due to expire and we couldn’t afford any more delays.
We was shocked he left it to the week before completion to check over all our documents, which demonstrated really unprofessional work from a solicitor. This could have been checked over weeks before he submitted a certificate of title to the lender. But it was checked when he submitted, this caused us lots of added stress with was easily avoided.
Joe also lacked in communication, we phoned him a few times (leaving voice mails to return the calls) and he would ignore them and would not call back.
Lesley weller the receptionist was a little bit rude too.
Would I recommend Stephen Rimmer LLP? No
