Carol Freeman and her team were simply brilliant in the handling of our sale and purchase when we recently moved down to Suffolk. With their help and support a stressful and at times complicated transaction was made to seem easy.

This divorce started off as a very stressful time for me, but the professional support, on a very specialised subject, provided by Rothera Bray, made all the difference... I can only describe Rebecca as my “GUARDIAN ANGEL” who manifested in human form to offer guidance, support and protection. At the very first telephone call I had with Rebecca, I could sense only fantastic positive vibes, that made me feel comfortable.

This house move for us at my age and health conditions could have been highly stressful as well as physically and mentally challenging. I must give all credit to our representative Deepika Vadher. Her communication was swift and sharp. I genuinely felt assured that my interests were a priority. I am most grateful for such a smooth and swift outcome.

Excellent service and communication through-out the process. The process is also totally digital thus, gave me that flexibility to conduct the transaction remotely. A target date was set and achieved. Thank you to Rothera Bray and especially Fatima! Highly recommended.

We used Rothera Bray for our recent house purchase. Our solicitor Abbey Freeman was absolutely brilliant and we would happily recommend to anybody. She made the entire process so smooth and stress free. Couldn't be happier with the service we received!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rothera Bray Solicitors during a challenging divorce process, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their guidance and support were invaluable, making a difficult time much more manageable. A special shout-out to Rebecca Hudson, my solicitor, who was exceptional throughout the entire process. Rebecca's expertise, compassion, and dedication were evident from our first interaction. She provided clear, practical advice and was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small. Her professionalism and empathy helped me navigate the complexities of divorce with confidence and peace of mind.

I had an outstanding experience with Rothera & Bray, particularly with Sarrina Mills and Tina Rana. They were both incredibly professional and attentive in addressing my queries. They went above and beyond to ensure the smooth exchange of contracts and successful purchase of my property, all while working diligently to complete the process before the stamp duty increase. This is the second time I’ve worked with Rothera Bray, and once again, they have exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the exceptional services of Sarrina and Tina.
