We took part in their review and then booked a place along with a number of Residentrs in Warminster,
The review of our old wills was comprehensive and thorough. We gave instructions and the service was quick, uncomplicated and accurate. We are now confidet in our legal needs.Sarah Stone is very competant and gave excellent Customer Service
Extremely good service on two house purchase transactions; expert and authoritative actions and advice by the partner Michelle Wilson, and excellent and efficient daily communications from her colleague Sonya Bailey
We put off arranging wills for some time, But now both in our 60s we decided that we should no longer wait. We learned that Porter Dodson were taking part in a will writing initiative raising funds for a local hospice.
We arranged an appointment with one of the partners, Paul Watkins. We asked him to prepare our wills and we also asked him to prepare Lasting Power of Attorneys'.
No-one really wants to think about making a will but we found Paul to be extremely helpful and understanding, and he took time to explain any points we were unsure about, making the process painless.
The documents have now been completed and in the anticipated time scale.
We were impressed by how straightforward the process was and the friendliness and professional approach used by the Team at Porter Dodson's Bridport Branch.
Reena Raval handled all the conveyancing aspects of the sale of the property very professionally, and dealt with all the issues along the way promptly and effectively. Would happily recommend using Porter Dodson for buying and selling property in West Dorset.
Michael Fitzgerald has just completed Probate and wrapping up of my father in law's estate.
Within a few minutes of meeting Michael, we knew we had made the right choice!
Throughout the process, he has been nothing less than brilliant in the way he has dealt with us.
All emails have been responded to promptly and he has at all times been friendly and approachable, with a good sense of humour when appropriate.
We will not hesitate to use Michael's services again when required and would thoroughly recommend him.
We are delighted to have followed him from Legal Advisor, through to qualified solicitor!
Miranda was professional and friendly - she offered an accurate quote and detailed responses to the support we required.
Miranda answered all of my questions and explained and applied her knowledge of tax and estates to our individual case which was extremely helpful and we would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you!
I used Porter Dodson for Grant of Probate and I found them professional. They provided good advice, communication was good and the documents were completed and submitted on time. As a result I have commissioned them to assist in the sale of a property.
Many thanks to Jacob Anderton for preparing our Wills. He was very approachable and took on board our wishes. Each part of the process was explained to us and carried out promptly. Our Wills were prepared in a timely manner and any legal terms explained clearly to us. A pleasure dealing with him.
So pleased to have had Porter Dodson namely Tanya and her team dealing with the sale of my Mother’s house. Never in any doubt we were in safe hands and wouldn’t hesitate to request Porter Dodson’s services in the future.
Had a really good experience using Michelle Wilson and her team for a recent conveyance. Really good communication and very thorough. Competitively priced. Would highly recommend.
Bethany and her colleagues gave an excellent service with the sale of our house, communication was excellent and always answered the phone when I was unsure or required information
First class service thank you
Upon just concluding a tricky conveyancing project I can recommend Porter Dodson wholeheartedly. The conveyancer assigned to me was excellent throughout. Great advice, communications, accessibility and thorough. And when compared to the fee charged by estate agents, very good value for money. Thank you for a job so well done.
after a number of time contacting them i have still not received any emails or phone calls the stress of loosing your mother and then finding out there was a will they need to get there act together and keep people up to date with issues
During a very fast paced moving experience we were delighted with the sale and purchase process provided by Porter Dodson. Our buyer had threatened to pull out by a deadline and Robert in collaboration with McCarthy Stone pulled out all the stops to complete on time. Many thanks too for our face to face meeting when the process was clearly explained to us. This was much appreciated and we would heartily recommend Porter Dodson.
Throughout the purchase of our new house and sale of our own, Caron Abbott was supremely efficient, cool, calm and pragmatic when up against a deadline.
All the documentation was very clear and any mistakes that I made, she was utterly polite in correcting me!
Her attitude to the whole conveyancing process was professional and efficient, (unlike others I have encountered). Not only does this reflect on her and er team, it must stem from the culture of Porter Dodson.
A huge thank you and well done.
Efficient and easy to work with - thanks :)
Very responsive and efficient.
Sorted our transfers of ownership without any hassle to us at all. Impressive service
Michelle Wilson and Sonya Bailey at Porter Dodson are our go to professionals for conveyancing. We have used them several times for our own residences as well as buy to lets and they have never let us down. Our most recent sale took just two months from start to finish and we were pleased that any issues and queries were swiftly dealt with, making the process as smooth as possible.
Excellent house sale transaction on this occasion, handled with professionalism and courtesy. Great comms and highly responsive. Highly recommended on basis of this transaction and previous work done by PD.
We can highly recommend Hayley Holland and her team who managed the sale of our leasehold flat recently.
The deadline was met, questions answered promptly, were helpful and approachable while maintaining a professional manner. We feel very confident to recommend Hayley.
