Excellent service

Emily Maskrey acted for me when purchasing my new home. She was excellent in every aspect, advise and approachability was wonderful. She was always easy to contact, kind and friendly and very efficient in moving the purchase along smoothly and quickly. I was so lucky to have been recommended to her and so happy she was my solicitor throughout this matter. She made it all a pleasure and lifted all my concerns. She is an asset to RFB legal, thank you so much.

Purchase within a quick time frame.

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.

Fantastic service

Beth was incredibly helpful throughout my house sale and purchase. When my sale fell through, she was understanding and did her best to move things on quickly when I found a new buyer. Beth was always quick to respond to emails and voicemails. I was very impressed, considering solicitors can have a reputation for dragging things out. I had nothing but a great and prompt service from start to finish. Thanks Bethany!

First House Purchase

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.

It was our first experience buying a property and everything that comes with it. Emily Maskrey went above and beyond for us ensuring everything ran as smoothly as possible and that all timelines were met. Emily kept up us up to date with any changes or updates and was very responsive whenever we had a questions or concerns. We will use Emily again if/when we decide to go through the process again.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional services provided by Harry Coombe. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a high level of professionalism and a genuine commitment to assisting me. He consistently addressed my inquiries in a timely manner and kept me well-informed throughout the entire process. I felt fully supported at every stage. I am thoroughly impressed and will gladly recommend Harry and his team at Ronald Fletcher Baker to my family and friends. Thank you, Harry, for ensuring that my first home buying experience was a positive one.

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.
