We had a great experience with Reena, Jennifer and Beckie in the Sherborne office to purchase our first flat. They were efficient, friendly and professional at all times, helping us at every step of the process and great at keeping us informed. We would highly recommend them.

Reena Ravel has been extremely efficient and thorough over the selling of our property. No stone was left unturned, advice was given at each stage to ensure the proceedings were expedited as quickly as possible under what seems a very clunky system in England when buying/selling property.

Residential Property Client

It has been a long and drawn out sale of my late mothers property, but made so much easier by the efficiency of Porter Dodson and especially Reena. Everything was done efficiently, professionally and in good time - so often not the case with solicitors. Thank you for making a difficult sale as straightforward as possible. Would highly recommend Porter Dodson.
