We recently used Rothera Bray for the sale of our property and the purchase of our new home, and Laura provided excellent service throughout. Moving house can be stressful, particularly when dealing with a chain and unexpected issues, but Laura was consistently professional, responsive and reassuring. She kept us informed, explained everything clearly and helped ensure the process ran smoothly. Her attention to detail, clear communication and willingness to answer our questions made a real difference. Thank you, Laura, for all your hard work. We would happily recommend Rothera Bray to anyone seeking a reliable and professional conveyancing service.

I recently sold my house using Ellie at Rothera Bray and couldn’t be happier with the service I received. From start to finish Ellie kept me fully informed, explained everything clearly and was always quick to update me on the progress. What really stood out was how proactive and reassuring she was throughout the process, especially when delays occurred further down the chain. Ellie made sure I understood what was happening at every stage which took away a lot of the usual stress involved in moving house. Her professionalism, communication, and attention to detail was excellent and I always felt relaxed and confident that everything was being handled properly. I would highly recommend Ellie to anyone buying or selling a property.

I had an outstanding experience with Ellie Robinson. She went out of her way at every stage and kept me updated continuously, even when there was no new information to share. Every part of the process was completed as quickly as possible and nothing was ever too much trouble. Ellie kept the other parties moving, provided clear and thorough legal advice, and presented all documentation in a way that was easy to understand. I could not recommend her highly enough.

Selling houses is always a daunting prospect, but my life was made much easier by the professionalism and efficiency of Laura Runcak and Lisa Rainbow. They communicated promptly at every step of the process, and I would definitely recommend their services. In fact, I will be using them again in the near future, as I have another house to sell. Both ladies are a credit to Rothera Bray. Many thanks from me and my Mum.

We as an organisation have used Rothera Bray on numerous other occasions when we have sold houses in our portfolio. Both Sarrina and Julekha are very easy to work with and have an abundance of knowledge in the legal conveyancing framework. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I cannot thank Seetal and Rothera Bray Solicitors enough for all the hard work and support they have given me over the last 4 years with my accident at work claim. They have been extremely thorough, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. Every step was clearly explained to me, and I always felt like they genuinely cared about getting the best outcome possible. Their attention to detail and dedication gave me a lot of confidence during a very difficult time. Thank you again for everything you have done for me.

I used Rebecca's services via Rothera Bray Solicitors to deal with the financial side to a divorce. I had an initial face to face appointment to talk through everything with Rebecca and this made me feel at ease and felt that Rebecca was the right person to help me. Rebecca has kept me highly informed at all stages throughout and has also given lots of great advice and has helped me a lot with getting things sorted. I am really happy with the service that I received and Rebecca was so friendly, kind, understanding and very helpful. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is requiring the help during a divorce.
