We used Rich and Carr for the first time and are very impressed. Rubina was knowledgable and came back quickly with an answer with any questions we had. Cost of our conveyance was very reasonable as well. Very happy to recommend and will use again in the future.

Rich & Carr have done 3 property transactions for me, to date. Each came with its own set of complexities. All have been handled quickly, efficiently and diligently. I have come to find that the stresses in most property transactions are through solicitors not communicating or not having a good grasp on the details of the transaction. That is certainly not the case with Rich & Carr - the whole experience has been stress free, every time. I would not hesitate to recommend them for property transactions and I will definitely use them again.

Excellent company to deal with, my own experience was a very long one but this was in no way any fault of Rich and Carr, as obviously other less capable solicitors are responsible for slow practice. The wheels of Law turn slowly for wills and probate but that's the system in the UK.
