I had an excellent experience with Rothera Bray, with Sally Simpson handling my conveyancing. The whole process was managed in a highly professional and efficient manner, with all enquiries dealt with promptly and often responded to the same day with clear explanations. Every inquiry or feedback raised with the seller’s solicitor was followed through thoroughly, ensuring all legal points were properly clarified and completed without any confusion or doubt. I was guided step by step throughout the process, which made everything smooth and stress-free. Overall, a very reliable, professional, and well-organised service which I would recommend.

I recently spoke with David from Rothera Bray, found him and the whole team to be very helpful and professional. Dealing with a solicitor is not something most people have to do on a day to day basis and the team made it as easy and smooth as possible. Highly recommended.

As a family, we have used Rothera Bray on legal matters on several occasions and most recently working with Talita on drafting Wills. She was professional, responded in a timely manner, communicated clearly and took on board any questions we had; we felt well supported throughout the process. Thank you Talita.
