  Timms is the Solicitors with a human face! I have nothing but praise for them. I have had occasion to use them for a number of reasons in the past two years and every member of staff I have dealt with has been professional, polite, pleasant and easy to deal with. Recently Sam Reeves has handled my property sale, which was fraught with hiccups along the way, but she handled it with top level professionalism and cheerfulness. And the cost of their services is very competitive, which is always a plus! So all in all, I can highly recommend them.

  We used Timms for conveyancing and we couldn't be happier. Rachel and Emma have been brilliant. The process was smooth and timely. We were kept up to date all the way.

  The team at Timms of Burton have been excellent in every way. From the initial contact and prompt quotation for the service required, through out the whole process Rachel and Emma answered every question either verbally or by email at the earliest opportunity negating the need to chase up on a previous communication. I would use this firm again and have no problem recommending their services.

  Timms acted for us as executors in the sale of a family property through probate. There was good communcation: written, in person and by phone. It was easy to ask questions and have clear explanations. Rachel and Emma helped us to feel confident and made the process straightforward.
