A big thank you to Sara Odedra for all her help with the sale of our house. She was always friendly, easy to deal with and kept us informed every step of the way. Whenever we had a question, she got back to us quickly and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. We really appreciated all the hard work she put in and would happily recommend Sara to anyone.

My experience working with Rothera Bray and in particular Nelissa was outstanding. I felt very supportive at a very difficult time, they showed compassion and empathy throughout the process. They made me feel like I could ask any question without feeling stupid and provided clear guidance and communication.

I was fortunate enough to have Laura Runcak look after what was a complicated and lengthy house sale and purchase. Laura was exceptional - professional, friendly, patient and always available to answer questions. Lisa Rainbow was also incredibly helpful. I would have no hesitation in recommending both Laura and Lisa.

Buying my first home was very daunting but Fatima Altaf was there for me along the journey. It meant a lot to have someone there to assist me through the process and be able to get me onto the property ladder.

Buying and selling a home requires a dedicated team, professional, congruent and great communication tools. I have to say the best teams in every legal matter service I've taken, all positive. Even when technology, and legal housing changes one thing remains, a professional, proficient, people orientated company. Highly recommend. Thank you team conveyancing Carol and Gail for being compassionate, professional and kind.

We really can’t thank Abbey and Luisa enough for everything they did throughout our sale.Having previously had a very disappointing experience with a solicitor who was difficult to engage with and rarely communicated, we were naturally a little apprehensive. Thankfully, from our very first contact, Abbey and Luisa completely restored our faith in the process.One thing that really stood out from the very beginning was that they explained they would only take on our case if they had the capacity to give it the time and attention it deserved. That immediately gave us confidence that we wouldn’t just become another file in a large caseload, and it set the tone for the outstanding service we received throughout. It showed a genuine commitment to looking after their clients rather than taking on more work than they could realistically manage.Their communication was exceptional from start to finish. They kept us informed every step of the way with regular updates, explained everything in a clear and straightforward manner, and were always happy to answer any questions we had. We never once felt like we were chasing for information or left wondering what was happening.What really set them apart, though, was the genuine care and compassion they showed. Buying and selling a home is one of the biggest and most emotional events in life, and Abbey and Luisa never lost sight of that. They treated us as people, not just another file, and their kindness, reassurance and understanding made such a difference during what is a very stressful time.Their professionalism, dedication and personal approach were incredible and we genuinely felt supported from beginning to end.Thank you both for all your hard work, patience and support. We will be recommending Abbey and Luisa to anyone looking for a solicitor without hesitation.Jake and Lauren
