Meet Rebecca Coombes
I’m Rebecca Coombes, a Consultant Conveyancer with a personal approach to moving home. I support residential property transactions across England and Wales through Burgh Thorpe Solicitors.
Personal service was the starting point
I set up RJC Legal because I wanted to personally handle my clients’ matters and keep client care at the centre of my work. A property transaction is a significant step, and the support you need will depend on your circumstances and how familiar you are with the process.
For me, personal service starts with listening. I want to understand what you are hoping to achieve and what matters to you about the move. That understanding helps me give you guidance that is relevant to your situation.
My aim is for you to feel comfortable asking questions and informed about the decisions ahead.
Experience built around property and people
My legal career began in criminal law in 2008, and I moved into conveyancing in 2013. I hold an LLB (Hons) law degree and have progressed through management roles to become a Partner and Deputy Head of Conveyancing at Burgh Thorpe Solicitors.
I have particular experience in new-build properties and shared ownership, alongside a broad range of residential property work. I help clients buy and sell homes, manage linked moves, remortgage and make changes to property ownership.
The property and circumstances may be different each time, but clear communication remains central to my approach. I explain the legal work in a way that helps you understand how it relates to your own transaction.
Support that reflects your circumstances
A first-time buyer may want to talk through unfamiliar terminology. Someone selling and buying together may be more concerned about how the two transactions fit together. An investor may know the process well but still have questions about a particular property.
I work with first-time buyers, home movers, families, sellers, landlords and residential investors. I take the time to understand the guidance you need rather than assuming that everyone wants the same level of explanation.
How Legal Services Are Delivered
RJC Legal is focused on providing a personal service, so you know who is handling your matter and who to contact throughout the process.
Rebecca will work with you personally and remain closely involved at each stage of your matter.
Legal services are regulated, and Rebecca provides those services through Burgh Thorpe Solicitors, an authorised and regulated solicitors’ firm.
Once we begin acting for you, your legal matter will be handled through Burgh Thorpe Solicitors and correspondence relating to your matter will come through Burgh Thorpe Solicitors.
Burgh Thorpe Solicitors will be the solicitors acting for you, with Rebecca personally handling your matter and supporting you throughout.
Local appointments, wider support
I support residential property transactions across England and Wales. You do not need to live near Peterborough to work with me, as conversations and updates can take place by phone or email.
If you would prefer to meet in person, appointments can be arranged at the Burgh Thorpe Solicitors office in Peterborough. Please get in touch first so a suitable time can be agreed.
Supporting my local community
Alongside working with clients across England and Wales, I value the opportunity to support my local community. For the 2026/27 season, I am sponsoring Brad Bowering of the Peterborough Phantoms ice hockey team.
Let’s talk about your plans
Tell me about the property and what you are hoping to do. An initial conversation can establish the details needed for an estimate of fees and help you understand the next step.
