Outstanding Service

Harry helped me with my purchase and I can say as a first time buyer I could not have been in better hands. He took the time and went the extra mile to explain each and every part of the process in layman's terms and make sure I was involved at every part of the process. I would most definitely recommend him to friends and family and look forward to working with him again in the future.
Thanks Harry!

The service and process of buying your first home.

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 🏡

Currently trying to organise a remortgage of a property, so far this has taken over four months. Inaccurate information given leading to multiple delays and could have caused additional costs but luckily I kept questioning these and was eventually advised it wasn’t necessary. If you are looking for a prompt efficient company do not look here, I certainly won’t be using them again.

A representative from Ronald Fletcher Baker Llp responded to this review on 02 June, 2025:

I’m really sorry to hear about the delays and inaccurate information you’ve experienced during your remortgage process. We understand how frustrating and stressful that can be, especially when it risks additional costs. Your feedback is very important, and we’ll be reviewing this to prevent similar issues in the future. If you’d like to discuss your case further or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I sought legal advice from Harry Medway as I was selling a property which was rented out at the time. I found Harry very pushy and unprofessional, I did not sign a contract or pay any fees as I was not ready for work to commence, but he took it upon himself to carry out work and then charged me £750 plus VAT, I saw no paperwork to prove any work was carried out and as the company held my property funds once the sale went through, I was forced to pay the fees as I was unable to have my funds until this was agreed. This added more stress to an already stressful time. I would not recommend RFB.
