Brilliant customer care and very de.tailed

Working with Peter at RFB was probably the best experience we have had purchasing a property to date, and we would most certainly be using them again upon the next purchase.

We encountered a number of challenges during our property purchase, but thanks to our solicitor, everything was successfully resolved. Peter was consistently proactive, reliable, and understanding throughout the entire process. He took great care to safeguard our interests at every step. We are incredibly grateful for his services and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of expert legal assistance.

Reliable, responsible and outstanding solicitor

5

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!

House purchase

Peter Smith from RFB legal was the best solicitor we could have asked for to aid us in our journey of buying our first house. Peter Smith made the process feel stress free and super simple. His client care is incredible ensuring we were always updated with regular communication. Any queries we had Peter was able to explain and sort them promptly.
Peter provided us with a very proactive and efficient service ensuring our journey took no longer than necessary.
Many thanks to Peter at RFB legal.

I would start by saying our experience has been unbelievably positive. Myself and my partner bought our first home and I cannot express enough how grateful we are for Peter and his hard work at all hours (even on a weekend) to make sure we were set and moving forward. He has made moving into our home so much easier so thank you

Good service

5

RFB supported my house purchase and did a great job. My solicitor, Peter Smith, kept me informed of progress, communicated well and went out of his way to ensure my case was covered when the completion date clashed with his paternity leave. Peter was easy to contact and responded speedily to requests. Based on this experience, I would use the firm again for this type of work. Thank you.

Peter Smith handled the purchase of our property and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received. Peter kept us informed every step of the way and always replied to any queries we had very promptly. We could call him at any time and if he wasn’t available straight away he would call us back very soon after. He explained everything very clearly, he was knowledgeable and professional at all times. Very approachable and affable, nothing was too much trouble. Peter also handled the sale of our house a few month ago, we were so happy with the service then that we requested he did our purchase as well, this turned out to be a very good decision. We will definitely be recommending Peter and your company to our family and friends.

Outstanding

5

We went with RFB on the advice of our mortgage advisor (Zoe Anderson from the Mortgage Quarter - also outstanding). Peter Smith did our conveyancing for us on our first home and we really couldn't recommend him enough. He met us face to face initially to chat things through, provided us with any information we needed and was really quick to respond to any emails/queries, if there was anything we were unsure about. The whole process was very smooth. Pete was really on it throughout and made the whole thing so easy for us, taking care of everything patiently but also applying pressure when needed to get things moving and showing initiative with different things we didn’t pick up on. We didn’t have to pester, or even ask twice for anything and Pete made the whole process a breeze. Katharine Whittingham is also helping us sort a declaration of trust and we have had the exact same experience with her. Honestly 5 star service, highly recommended.

Excellent service.

RFB were recommended by a local estate agent to conduct the conveyancing work for our house purchase. Peter Smith, a paralegal from the Exeter Office was outstanding. Peter explained the processes in a friendly and professional manner and nothing was too much trouble for him. We received regular updates as to the progress of the purchase and the process was conducted in a very timely manner. We exchanged and completed quite quickly. Katharine Whittingham, a Private Client solicitor from the firm draw up a deed of trust for us re the purchase, again, excellent work and nothing was too much trouble for her.
We are very pleased with the work RFB have done for us at very competitive fees and would highly recommend them to anyone needing conveyancing work.
Not all firms are the same…Thank you Peter, Katharine and RFB.
Kind regards,
Tony and Camilla.
