First Time Buyer given smoothest sale.

I recently used Pete Smith as my solicitor when purchasing my first home in Seaton, Devon and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Pete was always available no matter the time of day and being able to message him on WhatsApp made the whole process feel very personal and reassuring. Any questions, queries or chasing I needed were handled incredibly quickly and I always felt that Pete had my best interests at heart. Buying your first home can be stressful but Pete made everything smooth and straightforward. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Professional, responsive, and supportive throughout

We were first-time buyers and part of a chain, so the process took much longer than we expected, with several rounds of enquiries and some added complexity around changes to the management company. Throughout it all, Ozlem was professional, patient, and incredibly responsive. She explained everything clearly, kept us well informed, and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel much more manageable. We would happily recommend her to others.

I was very disappointed with the service I received from RFB Legal Solicitors. In particular, my case was handled by Mrs Yasam Assad, whose approach I found to be rude and unprofessional. I also felt that my relatively straightforward case was not managed competently. Based on my experience, I would not recommend their services.

From our initial phone call through to completion four months later on our commercial property purchase, Deema and Sanah were outstanding. We never once had to chase for a response — if anything, they were helping me stay on track with the required timelines and next steps. Their communication was clear, consistent and proactive throughout. It’s rare to encounter a law firm that is both so client-centred in its approach and genuinely friendly to work with. I would highly recommend them and will certainly be using their services again.

Thorough, Responsive and Professional

Thomas was fantastic throughout the purchase of my flat. Although the transaction became quite stressful due to issues outside of our control, he handled everything extremely well and remained professional and proactive throughout. He was thorough, communicated clearly, and always took the time to explain things properly. I felt very well supported throughout the process and would highly recommend his services.

Bethany - A truly exceptional solicitor

Working with Bethany on my house purchase was an absolute standout experience. She was everything you hope for in a solicitor and more; professional, efficient, accurate, and consistently one step ahead. I trusted her implicitly throughout the entire process. She made something that can often feel stressful remarkably simple. What really set her apart was how proactive she was. I never had to chase; she anticipated every step, communicated clearly, and handled every detail with total confidence. It’s rare to feel genuinely reassured at every stage of a property transaction, but that’s exactly what she delivered. I can’t recommend her highly enough. In fact, paying the bill was a pleasure; and when does anyone ever say that. She was worth every penny.

Outstanding first class service

Due to my original solicitor being away from work unexpectedly, Thomas picked up my house purchase case 1 week before my mortgage offer was set to expire. Certain to say this made me tremendously nervous, given the very tight timeframe and how complex my case was (undervalue family sale). However I was absolutely blown away at Thomas’ ability to bring himself up to speed within a day or so for a case that was ongoing for the best part of 6 months. He took full control of the situation and managed to deal with the vast number of complexities thrown at us by our mortgage lender at the very last minute, as well as managing communication with our broker and the sellers solicitor. He pushed for a completion date and made sure the sellers solicitor adhered to this date also as there was a chance they could have delayed matters further. Thomas managed to get us over the line within 6 days of taking on our case by working relentlessly, and whilst keeping me updated every step of the way. I could not recommend Thomas enough. His professionalism, efficiency and communication (along with the rest of his team) had left me so very impressed. I will forever be grateful to Thomas for his tremendous work, and whosoever is represented by him will count themselves lucky!

Sale and purchase of property

Incredibly straightforward and stress-free from start to finish. As someone going through this process by myself, having a solicitor who was reliable, organised, and easy to communicate with made a huge difference. Charles was always quick to respond, kept me updated throughout, and explained everything clearly in a way that was easy to understand. What could have been a very overwhelming experience was made so much easier thanks to Charles’ professionalism and attention to detail. Charles handled everything efficiently, kept the process moving smoothly, and was always available to answer any questions I had along the way. I always felt reassured that everything was in good hands. I would highly recommend Charles to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, approachable, and dependable solicitor. The level of communication and support throughout was excellent, and I’m very grateful for all of Charles’ help during both the sale and purchase of my property.

Very poor experience with this firm as a whole. There were repeated mistakes, including accounting and calculation errors, delays, and serious communication issues. The overall handling of my case caused a lot of unnecessary stress. Be aware of unexpected or unclear costs.

Highly recommend.

Thank you for your fantastic review, Dawn. We are proud to have played a part in such a significant result, especially knowing the positive impact this has for the NHS.
