The service and process of buying your first home.

5

Being first time buyers myself and my partner believed that this process would be difficult and every stage would feel stressful. However this was not the case, Peter made our lives easy and stress free through quick email reply’s and great communication skills. He was always a phone call away and would help us understand anything we didn’t know. We had a fantastic experience working with Peter as our conveyancer. He handled paper work and documentation efficiently (on time) and with great attention to detail. We felt confident and well-supported the entire way through. We highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a smooth and hassle-free property transaction!

Thank you Peter for all your hard work and helping us achieve our first home 🏡

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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Thanks again for choosing RFB Legal, and we’re always here if you need us again in the future!

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.
