Porter Dodson Solicitors & Advisors Reviews 487

We used Porter Dodson solicitors for a property inheritance and transfer of deeds, mainly dealing with Reena Raval she was absolutely brilliant,friendly, professional, and always kept us informed and answering any queries, often out of "office hours"— she made the whole process so much easier and stress free

Katie and Shannon from the Taunton Branch were both great! Super helpful and thorough. kept us updated and informed at all times and made the process enjoyable and smooth! Would definitely use them again for any sales or purchases in the future!

I was supported and advised by Reena Ravel throughout the recent sale of my property in Bridport. Reena was very helpful and efficient, always keeping me informed about the process and answering my questions clearly and promptly.

Extremely helpful and professional. The staff on reception were always very pleasant and welcoming.

We cannot recommend Abigail Davis at Porter Dodson in Taunton high enough. This isn’t the first time I have used Abigail - she first helped me with buying a house, and she was fantastic. So much so that I knew exactly who to ask when I went on to sale that house and purchase our dream home. She’s is very knowledgeable and professional, but also just a super lovely, and understanding person and really works with you to help make the process as easy and stress free as possible. We are very thankful to her and her team for their help and would absolutely use them over and over again. Thank you.

Bethany was fantastic , first time selling a property so was unsure of all the processes, she was fast to reply to my questions and emails I would definitely recommend and use again

I had a complex sale involving cladding remediation, the Building Safety Act 2022, and much more. I tried local solicitors who turned down the work as being too complicated, beyond their PI insurance, etc. Then I found a blog post, by H.H. of Porter Dodson down in sunny Somerset, which claimed she could do it . . . and, ably assisted by S.R., she did!

I have the utmost respect for H.H.'s and S.R.'s knowledge, professionalism and determination to get things done, and I'm pleased to publicly thank H.H. for sorting out all the complexities, dealing with a somewhat sleepy solicitor at the other end, keeping at it and making the sale so much easier for me than I thought it ever could be . . . and after many months of work, not charging any more than her initial quote!

Thank you, H.H. and S.R. :-)

We dealt with Reena Raval at Porter Dodson in Sherborne when selling our house and found her and all other members of staff, without exception, to be friendly and most helpful. We were very impressed with the way that they kept us informed of every move as the sale progressed. They are now dealing with the purchase of our new property and I have every confidence that we will receive the same professional services.
I have no hesitation in recommending these people to act on your behalf.

Reena was quick, helpful, efficient and informative.

Louise Wootten was just FANTASTIC with the selling of an inherited property and then, in turn, the purchase of our first ever home. We were incredibly nervous as first time buyers and at times with wording that we were unfamiliar with it felt very overwhelming, Louise was brilliant, she explained everything in terms that we could easily digest, she was always and easily contactable both by phone and email. We really can't thank her enough.

I have just purchased a home using Porter Dodson in Yeovil.
Robert Coppard, Steve Dunkerton, Claire, Abbey and Tracy were really efficient with my questions and queries. Their knowledge enabled a clear conveyancing process.
I have used this conveyancing team before, and I would highly recommend them. When I move in the future I will be going back to engage their services again, because I like and appreciate their skills.

Absolutely shocking experience from the solicitors I was dealing with. Wacked on a massive sum for a re-mortgage when I only ever instructed them on a transfer of equity. Cost me thousands extra in fees and handled it all so poorly.

I can not praise the team highly enough. Kirby, Joe and Jodi were excellent. All there to answer an email and explain everything detail. Made a very hard and difficult time go with ease. Thank you all so much. I highly recommend. Thank you

As executors we instructed Zara and Ellice to act for us in the sale of a bungalow; we were impressed by their professionalism throughout and were kept up to date at every stage. Their friendly approach and knowledge made the process much easier.

We have no hesitation in recommending Porter Dodson - Zara and her team undertook our conveyancing in a thoroughly professional manner. At all times during a lengthy and complicated process we enjoyed concise and helpful communications- we particularly appreciated the guidance and timely responses when encountering 'difficulties'.

Porter Dodson dealt with the administration and sale of my late father's estate. They were efficient and informative, and made the whole process as easy as possible, with minimal jargon. Every staff member I spoke to was helpful and friendly. Many thanks again to Chris for dealing with everything and for patiently answering all my queries over the last year or so. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Porter Dodson for probate law and property conveyancing.

No fuss and quick responses. Reena Raval provided an excellent trustworthy service

Having researched specialist intestate solicitors, I contacted PDS and explained my role as administrator and that I needed legal advice as well as assistance. I was immediately put through to a senior solicitor whom , after lengthy discussions and negotiated fee, was instructed to represent our unknown relative and all that it entailed.
I asked how long this business would take and it was carefully explained in layman’s terms how heir hunters play a major part and this can take years.
Contracts were signed, and within days of having received all the paperwork, they were back with a rough calculation of time scales, disbursement costs (included in the fixed fee); important immediate tasks that needed to be done such as insuring the empty property; protecting the property; valuing the property and assets, etc etc . Of course I questioned everything and indeed was permitted to gather quotes and discuss best price and practise, making my role feel respected; listened to and valued.
I cannot fault their attention to detail; their communication skills and professionalism. Furthermore the “don’t hold me to this but could be 18 months “ was exactly that and all beneficiaries have received their windfalls with a bitter sweet gratitude from an aunt whom,sadly, few of us had ever known
With much gratitude to all who contributed at PDS

Used for house conveyance, Reena Raval was fast, efficient and professional throughout, despite various setbacks she worked hard to get the sale through to completion.

My wife and i were recommenced to instruct Porter Dodson to act as solicitors for the sale of our property
in Horley Surrey.
From the outset we found Reena Ravel most helpful at every point of the sale.
Reena kept us up to date with any problems that we encountered and solved them promptly.
Any time that we visited the office all staff were very helpful.
Finally we shall be using Porter Dodson again for another matter, and we would not hesitate to recommend them.

Regards

Mick and Gill Sibert.
