“The service I received was excellent. In particular Michelle Young was exemplary and I especially valued the way in which she was flexible in seeing me on a couple of occasions when I called in without a prior appointment.”Richard Marriott
“Initially I chose Rothera Dowson because its office location was convenient to where I lived and the estate agents. But after the sympathetic and considerate service provided by both solicitors, I would certainly choose them again. I was comfortable with their attitude and reassured.”Michael J Smedley
“Michelle and her team provided an outstanding service and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Everything that they said they would do they did. They worked efficiently and honestly and when I compare this experience to that received from other solicitors it is head and shoulders above in standard. Others could learn a lot from Michelle. Thank you so very much in managing so efficiently what was not a straightforward purchase or sale.”Claire Peers
“Michelle and Julianne were thorough, professional and proactive-a seamless process. I would have no hesitation in using again.”R. Brighty
“Thank you for sorting out my home purchase in due course. Most grateful.”Electra Lumaj
“Moving house is very stressful, but Rothera Sharp did indeed make it a smooth experience. They could not have been more helpful and extremely professional. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone planning a house move.”Jean Hatherley
