“I needed a solicitors to recreate a set of title deeds and sell my parents property after they moved in their care home. Having made numerous calls to some of the 'big' names in Nottingham and searched online for 'specialist' solicitors no one wanted to deal with me or put me off as I was POA and told me it could take months if not years to sort the title deeds. I went through the address book and I contacted Rothera Bray who were fantastic from the word go. They fully understood what was required and the urgency, and from day one made me feel special and gave me the confidence that everything would be sorted as quickly as possible. It took just 2 months to have confirmation that the title had been accepted and therefore we were able to remarket the house and get this sold. From being told 12 months to get the tile deeds sorted it took Rothera Bray just 6 months including selling the property. I want to thank Kerry and Shelby for the patience they had in my many questions and for their swift replies to my many emails. These two are a credit to the profession and I can only speak in high regards. I will be using you guys again and will recommend anyone who requires a solicitors. Thank you so much.”Ady
