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.

I had the pleasure of having Peter as my solicitor for the purchase of my 3-bedroom property. Throughout the entire process, Peter demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. He made each step of the legal process clear and kept me updated at every stage, ensuring I understood what was happening and what to expect next. Communication was seamless; Peter was always available to answer questions and provide guidance whenever needed. His approachable nature and helpfulness made the experience stress-free, and I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor. I highly recommend Peter to anyone needing a reliable, professional solicitor!
