Testimonials
“A FIRST CLASS experience from Jo and the Team at Rothera Bray - “House sale made easy!” - from start to finish. Great communication and updates. Thanks to you all - I can certainly recommend this professional firm.”Rob S
“Hassle free, smooth and clear experience thanks to Johanna Goddard.”Esther
“Moved house in Feb this year, having started the process in October 2023. I've moved house 3 times now, using a different solicitor each time as I'd never found one I felt very impressed with. When using the previous 2 solicitors for house moves, I always felt like I had to constantly chase, which made what was already a stressful process even more stressful. Jo Goddard at Rothera Bray was pleasantly different by comparison. She kept me up to date throughout, she showed empathy when we had some challenging times and I just generally felt she wanted to do the best for us. I don't plan on moving again, but if we ever were to, I would definitely consider Rothera Bray again”A Green
“We used Rothera Bray for the purchase of our home and the sale of a property, and we are so pleased we went with them for both. Jo and Samantha were really great, they handled everything in a timely matter and kept us updated every step of the way. We would definitely recommend Rothera Bray to anyone looking for a conveyancing solicitor.”G Hill
“Johanna is such a great Solicitor! She looks after you 100%. She has GREAT communication (no matter how complex the situation is)! I loved the entire experience and have already passed her details on. Thank you so much!!”Chris
“Johanna, Samantha and Melissa were exceptional in the work they did for us when we sold our holiday cottage. There were a few extra issues to deal with and they did so professionally and very competently. Always approachable and available to give advice or clarify issues for us - even though we were abroad in Australia for 2 months during the whole process. We have used Rothera Bray several times previously and would recommend them to anyone.”Margaret
“We recently bought and sold a house through Rothera Bray. There were some major setbacks and issues, but Jo Goddard helped us through them all and kept pushing things forward. And it was incredible value for money considering how much she had to do! I could not recommend Jo and Rothera Bray highly enough. Thank you”Toby Wells
