I’ve debated and debated writing this but I genuinely feel the need to warn first time home buyers away from this company.

The biggest issue was that two days before completion, at 4.55pm I had a phone call from Andrew, the senior conveyancer to tell me that they couldn’t claim the bonus on my help to buy isa, which gave me a day to find £3k so that the transaction could go through in time.

That’s an awful lot of money to find considering I gave all my details about the isa to the company in July, and we completed in mid November. If it had been flagged then, I could have saved that money rather than have a day to find it. Help to buy isas are such a routine way of saving, it is unbelievable that it wasn’t flagged.

My second complaint how poor the communication was from Andrew. Consistently any phone calls were strategically made at 5 mins to closing time, which is such a childish way to operate.. Trying to get a response to an email was the same. It put an unbelievable amount of stress on me and it was so unnecessary.

I felt so let down by this company and I would advise going elsewhere

I would highly recommend this company. I had the pleasure of dealing with Chris Lewis who helped me with a civil matter. Chris gave an excellent all round service and solved the problem very quickly and efficiently. Should I ever need a solicitor in the future I will not hesitate to use Rubin Lewis O'Brien Solicitors again. Fantastic result.

We recently used Rubin Lewis for the sale and purchase of our house. We were managed by Nia, Lana and Niamh who were all amazing throughout the process. The ladies were responsive and kept us up to date on the process the whole way through. Conveyancing can be expensive however we found RLO to be incredibly competitive and they were based in our local town so easily accessible to drop off the original documents required throughout. Thank you again for making the process as smooth as
can be.

Juliet and her team were fantastic in conveyancing my new home, they were responsive, friendly and always kept me up to date. They also did my searches in record time and made the whole process seamless. I would recommended Rubin Lewis O'Brien to anyone needing a reliable and helpful conveyancer!
