This is the second time we have had Abbey as our solicitor for moving house, and once again, she has been fantastic. She is incredibly knowledgeable and reliable. She gave us complete confidence and reassurance at every stage, knowing that everything was being handled professionally. Throughout the process, Abbey was always contactable and efficient with all of our queries. What we really appreciated was how well she explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abbey to anyone looking for a solicitor. She has been brilliant both times we have used her, and we are extremely grateful for all her help and support throughout our move. Thank you Abbey!

I am Autistic and have CPTSD (Complex post-traumatic stress disorder). I normally need an intermediary to help me talk to solicitors but not here. I have Gabriella and Lucy. As a team they are the perfect mix. Gabriella is always able to spot when I’m about to have an episode and bring me back to neutral and Lucy’s emails are always Autism friendly. They put in reasonable adjustments I didn’t even ask for like colour coding important parts they need me to concentrate on, consider and respond to. I don’t even need an intermediary with them. They do regular updates which helps keeps me from worrying and most importantly they listen with the intent to comprehend not just respond. If you’re looking for a family solicitor and you have CPTSD or are neurodivergent, these 2 are your best options.

I was updating my Will after twenty years and received professional, friendly and prompt service from Azeem and his paralegal Amy. It was a fairly straightforward will but Azeem was understanding when I kept making sure that the contents were what I wanted with as many obvious bases covered as possible. Everything was explained to in plain English at every stage. Great service, thank you.

Excellent conveyancing service. My solicitor was consistently professional, calm and informative throughout the entire process. They gave me clear advice when I wasn’t sure how to respond to the buyer’s solicitor’s questions, and handled every stage of the sale with confidence and care. They remained patient when my first sale fell through and were very supportive during the second sale... The price they quoted was the price I paid even though it was over two years between quote and sale completion. I’m very pleased with the service and will definitely use them again for future property purchases.

I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Rothera Bray for the service provided when selling and purchasing my home. I had the great good fortune to have Sade Love and Shelby Richardson as the Conveyancing team for my sale of my home and purchase of my new home. Throughout both Sade and Shelby have provided beyond excellent service, dealing with issues and progressing the process to keep both sale and purchase in sync. Certainly it is true that this can be a most stressful process but Shelby was always at the end of the phone to reassure and explain matters, and Sade as lead, kept us informed and moved the issues and process forward with an expert eye on details. I have no hesitation in recommending Rothera Bray as a fantastic company who provide a great service at a truly reasonable price. Thankyou Rothera Bray and Thankyou Sade and Shelby. Superb.

I recently used Abbey as my solicitor when selling my property, with the assistance of Luisa. They were both extremely efficient, helpful and professional throughout the whole process. They kept everything moving smoothly and were always happy to help whenever I had any questions. I’m really pleased with the service I received and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a solicitor.

Abbey and Luisa at Rothera Bray were absolutely exceptional in dealing with the legal side of buying our first house. They made everything very easy and had great communication through the whole process. Would 1000% recommend!

I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, they made what could have been a very stressful house sale and purchase feel much easier to manage. Ellie was fantastic throughout the whole process. She was always helpful, responsive and kept us updated at every stage, even when things became a little complicated and stressful towards completion. She took the time to explain things clearly, answered all of our questions and made sure everything was dealt with properly.

Couldn’t have asked for better service. Not for the first time I found Rothera Bray Solicitors excellent in handling the sale of my property and subsequent purchase of another one. In particular Lucy and Karen were always timely, efficient, put up with my queries and questions and accommodated everything that I asked of them. Without hesitation I would recommend the firm for any one that’s selling or buying property.

We have used Rothera Bray for several different will and probate matters over the last few years. Nelissa Hicks has been outstanding. Excellent communication at all stages. Prompt and efficient replies to all our numerous queries. She has also been very helpful on providing guidance to help us with our future plans. We would highly recommend the company and will not go anywhere else in the future. Thankyou Nelissa. 5 stars.

We had a really positive experience with Sally Simpson at Rothera Bray while buying our new house. She was great throughout the whole process - quick to respond, professional, made everything really straightforward. We felt listened to and kept in clear communication at all times, which really made the whole process feel stress-free. Highly recommended.

Excellent solicitors. Libby was a delight to meet. Supported me through the whole process. Explained everything and provided me with the information needed. It made a stressful time easier.

Rothera Bray have just finalised the estate of my late dear mother. Ed Granger has provided a compassionate, efficient and speedy service throughout. He has explained the process at every stage, using easy to understand language without ever being patronising which has made such an emotionally difficult time easier to cope with. I would certainly recommend.

I had Chelsey and Anton representation on case and the outcome was even better than anticipated. Super helpful, knowledgeable and professional. Could not recommend this firm and them specifically enough!
