Complex sale for a number of reasons but the impressive part was when our Solicitor was on vacation and a Partner stepped up and got highly involved in problem resolution - not usual in our experience. Very customer focussed and excellent, pragmatic advice re what was acceptable practice when it’s so easy to go for the easy route! Recommend.

I would like to say a special thank you to Rose who has always been very approachable and friendly, leaving me at ease whenever I have had a question.

Thank you all for the work you have put in gathering information and eventually bringing this to a close.

The house sale and purchase was unfortunately a long drawn out process due to my buyers chain. Reena from Porter Dodson stuck at it and kept me informed throughout the whole process. She got my purchase property ready to exchange very quickly and kept chasing down the chain. I honestly believe that the house sale/purchase wouldn’t have happened without Reena’s hard work and determination to get it over the line. I would highly recommend Porter Dodson.
