We cannot thank Julie Stewart and her paralegal, Alex, enough for their help with buying and selling our house. They were both so helpful and genuinely on the ball whenever we needed them. When Barclays messed up our mortgage offer at the very last minute, Julie was incredibly proactive and somehow managed to squeeze everything through in just a couple of hours to save the day! We are so grateful for all their hard work and will definitely be recommending them to friends and family.

My family have always used Timms for legal advice etc and over many years they have always given excellent service. A recent house move was a prime example. It was not to the easiest of transactions but Julie Stewart and her equally able assistants Alex Duffin and Lisa Newbold rose to the challenge to achieve completion within the projected timeframe.

Thank you to Lisa Newbold and Alex Duffin for their professionalism in dealing with the house sale for us. I would use them again in future if needed.

We first instructed Timms solicitors with a probate matter. We were so grateful for their guidance through a process that felt completely overwhelming. Based on that positive experience, we used them again to sell a property at auction. They made another unfamiliar situation entirely seamless and stress free. Outstanding support throughout.
