Tenacity wins.
My experience involved selling a bungalow and purchasing a retirement apartment. The bungalow sale went through very quickly and without a hitch, the retirement apartment, however, took 9 months. All through that time Charles was a pleasure to deal with, he was always courteous, professional and had fantastic communication skills. Every time I became a bit down hearted he would explain the process and that these types of purchases can take a while. He was always quick to answer my emails and his tenaciousness, I’m sure, is what lead to the final completion.
I am very grateful to Charles and would recommend him and his company every time.

I have bought and sold a few properties and without doubt this sale was the best experience to date. It was a pleasure to correspond with Charles he is quick to respond, polite, efficient, and generally an obliging person, he made the whole process feel that we were in safe professional hands. The paperwork is the job least enjoyed however, it certainly did not feel like a chore and for that alone we thank him.

First Time Buyers
I would like to thank Anna Seifert-Craggs for providing us with a great conveyancing service during our first family home purchase. Her due diligence and professionalism was fantastic especially with a tight deadline to complete on the 20th Dec! This was all supported by Charles Ling especially in the final hours where he was an absolute star, ensuring we read into all updates during a very stressful couple of days leading upto completion. If this is his performance within the training environment; I truly believe once established he will make a priceless edition to any law firm.

House Sale with Power of Attorney
RFB supported me through the recent sale of my dad's bungalow. Our conveyancer, Charles Ling, was very friendly & approachable and he was always available via email or phone if we needed to contact him. He dealt with our queries very efficiently and helped to ensure that the whole sale process was as smooth as possible. I would defintely recommend Charles and RFB and would happily use them again if the situation arises.
