The highest quality conveyancing service

5

Incredible service and nothing was ever too much. I had a lot of questions which needed answering during the process and Pete was always ready to answer my calls and respond to anything I needed answering. I'm so pleased to have selected RFB Legal to represent me as they had an extremely approachable nature where I felt comfortable to ask any of the questions which popped up.

Pete made what could have been a really stressful experience feel manageable. The house buying process threw up a few unexpected hurdles, but he handled everything calmly and efficiently. He explained all the complicated legal bits in a way that actually made sense, without making me feel out of my depth.

What really impressed me was how he chased things up with other parties without me having to ask - he was totally on it! When deadlines were tight, he worked extra hours to make sure everything went through smoothly.

The fees were transparent from the start and fair for the amount of work involved. I've already recommended RFB Legal to my friends who are looking to buy.

If you want a solicitor who's not just professional but actually human too, Pete at RFB Legal is your guy. So glad I chose them!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Purchase within a quick time frame.

5

We used Pete’s services when purchasing our property. He ensured that the process was completed promptly to enable us to complete prior to the stamp duty change.

My wife and I are extremely impressed by the quality of the purchase pack provided. We were confident that all enquiries and questions had been answered in detail to protect us when purchasing our new property.

Pete was regularly available throughout the process to answer any of our questions. We were able to communicate with him and gauge where we were in the process. This helped us have realistic time frames of when we were likely to move.

We would highly recommend his services and would use him again in the future should we move house.

First House Purchase

5

As first time buyers, myself and my partner went with Peter Smith at RFB to help with the purchase of our first home. We were new to everything and so we needed a lot of guidance, but Peter was a great help and never tired of answering our many questions! Each step of the process was clear and communicated well to us, and we would certainly go with the company again in any future experiences.

Peter was outstanding! Highly reccomend

5

It took around 8 months for the buying of a house due to difficulties with a lack of paperwork from the sellers for completion.

Although the situation was frustrating, Peters transparency and regular updates throughout put our minds at ease, along with great advice which was much needed as a first time buyer.

Peter was also friendly, approachable and funny at times which added to the relief of the stress throughout the process.

I couldn’t recommend RFB / Peter more!

A huge thanks to Peter and the team for their work.
