  Really good service from the team at Timms, always there to answer a query or explain something.  Personally I would like to highlight Alex Duffin, Paralegal - nothing was too much trouble, Julie Stewart, Conveyancer and Lisa Newbold, Assistant. Thank you for acting for us on our sale and purchase

  It's amazing using Timms Solicitors for our mortgage application process. Though the journey was a bit long however it's understandable as Lauren was kin about having to get the needful done despite some non responsiveness on the side of the seller. Her unflinching support and customers understanding really helped in the whole process. Thanks to Morgan as well for setting the stage and for her assistance all the way. Now we 've got the keys and happy with the whole process. Thank you guys - willing to work with you again .
