First class service once again ...

First class service once again from Leta Kerin and the team at Stephen Rimmer with the sale of mum's house, which went through smoothly and completed on time. Many thanks!

Amazing firm of solicitors

Rebecca Curcher and Susannah Poole have managed over the last year to complete two flat sales for me. They have been absolutely brilliant. They are very professional, efficient, speedy with their responses to emails, supportive, and I have no hesitation in recommending them. I wil certainly use them in the future.

Divorce

I found the advice I was given was helpful and processional. My divorce process took longer than I expected and I was given good support and advice along the way.

Lost sensitive paperwork

Awful. I signed all my paperwork and posted it by had through their letterbox as requested only for them to lose it. They were not bothered that they had lost paperwork with a lot of sensitive information on it.
Then a couple of months after the sale had gone though they wrote to me stating that there was outstanding ground rent to be paid that they had missed and now it had been handed to a debt collector I had to pay the arrears plus around £300 fees. They did not take any responsibility for this oversight.

I would go elsewhere.

*** update *** as you can see they responded I emailed them and was ignored. Gave extra information they asked trust pilot for and was ignored

Excellent Service

When we chose to use Stephen Rimmer for our recent flatsale, it was for the third time. They are more expensive than the online conveyancing firms but their service and attention is so superior it was worth the extra money. I would highly recommend the firm. They have produced our wills and sold 2 properties with great care.

Thank you Lynn, what we tend to find with online conveyancing firms is the headline price may seem cheaper but they add on lots of additional extras throughout the transaction and it ends up costing people more! Whereas our price is fixed and you have the additional benefit of great client care (as you have kindly pointed out 😁) and we don't charge if the matter falls through up to two times!

Brilliant all round, as always

Flat purchase

Emily Reed helped me with my property purchase. Having never done this before, it’s been a long and stressful ride, but can’t thank her enough for getting me to completion before xmas. Professional, informative and kind. Can’t fault! Would recommend and would use this firm again.

House sale

Professional, fast responses to my queries,I was given helpful advice from offer to completion by Roy Bridge & his associate Joseph Sherriff. Highly recommended. I previously used this firm for making my will. My parents used this firm since 1994. In December 2018 after my parents death the estate, monies the process was handled with care ,which was a very sad time. Best solicitor in eastbourne, my experience was fantastic.

Amazing Solicitors!

First time using a solicitor & we were really impressed with the service that was provided throughout the whole process. We dealt with Roy Bridge who was exceptional & Joe Sherriff who was also exceptional! They are a credit to the firm! Unfortunately the time scale of buying our house was very long but we were kept updated all the time. We are forever grateful for the help as it is quite daunting buying a house for the first time, but I am so thankful for Roy & Joe! Amazing work! Would highly recommend Stephen Rimmer Solicitors and would use again in the future!

Well where do I begin
Stephen Rimmer took on my case and then my Sister was using Helix law and guess what they all worked together to take over 50 thousand pounds of my money.

Negative Experience

At my will signing, with Sophia Oarton, solicitor, my experience was negative as in my opinion errors were made and I was dissatisfied with the outcome of my complaint. I would not use this solicitor or firm again.

Recommendation for Noel Martin and his team at Stephen Rimmer

I had an excellent experience working with Noel Marin at Stephen Rimmer for the purchase of my flat. From the outset, they were professional, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Every aspect of the process was handled with care and attention to detail, and they kept me well-informed at each stage. I especially appreciated their prompt responses to my queries and the way they explained complex legal matters in a clear and understandable way. Thanks to Noel, the transaction went to completion. I highly recommend Noel and the team at Stephen Rimmer for anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated solicitor!

Great service and communication!

Great service and communication! I have dealt with Joshua Duckworth and colleagues now over a few transactions, over the last few years, having bought and sold and set up a residents association. I have been impressed with the communication and helpful attitude explaining everything on a slightly complicated transaction. I also recommend the company via estate agents I am involved with as I know the high level of service clients will receive! thank you again!
