“We chose Rothera Bray solicitors to deal with the sale of our late father’s bungalow because our parents had always dealt with them in the past. Thank goodness we did! Lucy and Karen were excellent throughout. They were compassionate and understanding and kept us updated at all times. They were also easy to reach and most helpful if we had any queries. We would highly recommend Rothera Bray and will definitely use them in the future should the need arise.”Lynne

Lucy and Karen were beyond helpful in explaining everything and dealing with Help to Buy when they were being not very helpful and slow.

However they excelled in all ways, listening to what I wanted, steering me in the correct direction and even coming in on non-work days for exchange. Lucy and Karen responded to every challenge to ensure we completed on the day everyone wanted. I have recommended them already to all my family and friends. ”Wendy
