quotes

We received a recommendation from a friend to use Steve Dunkerton and we were not disappointed. Steve provided a great service for the sale of our investment residential property near Bridport. His communication was always timely and detailed. Thank you Steve and the rest of your team.

Graham

All the staff that we had contact with were incredibly helpful, but Reena in particular, faced each challenge on our behalf with a calm and professional approach, and due to her expertise and level-headed approach, managed to navigate our sale through. It was unexpectedly lengthy and complicated, but we are so grateful for Reena’s tenacity, knowledge and support. Reena also expertly negotiated our ongoing purchase and tied everything up neatly for us. We would not hesitate to recommend either Reena or Porter Dodson to anyone needing representation in the property market.

Very helpful and swift from start to finish. Wonderful recommendation from my friend.

Serena

We asked Reena Raval to handle the purchase of our house in Dorset. We can't recommend Reena and the team (Beckie and Jennifer) highly enough. It was a tricky purchase, but Reena explained the risks and process clearly. The purchase completed exactly on time (and with a competitively priced invoice!). I will definitely use Porter Dodson for work again. We highly recommend Reena and Porter Dodson to anyone looking for efficient and effective legal support at reasonable cost.
