Bio

I qualified as a solicitor in 1998. After relocating to Dorset, I joined Porter Dodson and have worked in the Bridport Office Residential Team since March 2022, moving to the Sherborne Office residential team in September 2025.  

I help individuals and businesses buy and sell residential property. I enjoy the contact and rapport which is built with clients during a residential conveyancing transaction. I take pleasure in being able to assist people at an important stage in their lives when buying or selling their homes. I endeavour to make what is deemed to be a stressful process as easy and straightforward for the client as possible. 

I enjoy spending time with and entertaining my friends and family. I love to travel experiencing different cultures, but equally savour the UK coastline with camping adventures.  I like photography, shopping and am a keen football fan (spectating not playing!)

Testimonials

Reena dealt with the land registry in correcting the title on my house which proved somewhat complicated. She responded to communications promptly and got the job done to allow a sale to go ahead.

Laura

A relatively painless experience! Reena and Beckie were extremely helpful throughout the whole process of selling the house. All of the documents and required actions were managed online making trips to the office unnecessary meaning that things were dealt with swiftly and efficiently. The team were also easily contactable and able to answer any queries. A good job well done!

Elaine

Reena Ravel was recommended to me and I was delighted to follow up the recommendation. Reena, and her paralegal Beckie, kept me informed throughout. Documentation and the necessary checks were made in advance so that once an offer was accepted all was prepared. I asked for a prompt exchange/completion on selling a property and this was duly achieved with minimal involvement on my part. 

Executors

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.

Natasha

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. 

Rob

Reena and Beckie have made the conveyancing process simple and quick. They provide a great service and I would not hesitate to use Porter Dodson again. 

Mark

Both Reena and Beckie were always very helpful and responsive whilst dealing with my house purchase. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and their firm. 

Sue

Having moved a number of times over the previous years we've had experience of a number of solicitors, with Reena and Beckie being by far the most conscientious, diligent and efficient for our conveyancing - their communication was excellent and they continued to manage our house sale effectively. I can't rate them highly enough 11/10 and would recommend to anyone looking to find a first class solicitors.

Conveyancing Client

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.

Graham

I would like to highly commend the team at Porter Dodson for their exceptional service during our recent property sale. Reena Raval managed our matter with great professionalism and efficiency throughout. Reena was outstanding; she promptly answered all our enquiries via email, and we found her quick responses to be incredibly helpful in keeping the process moving smoothly. 

Property Client

I have been given nothing but quick and efficient work from Reena. Her emails have always been understandable. All questions have been answered with her confidence which enabled me to relax (if possible when selling). Excellent email assistance too from Beckie - as with phone calls with both. I would definitely ask again for my assistance with work in the future and many thanks for your help in the last five months. 

Hilary

We have used Porter Dodson for 45 years which speaks for itself. Recently we used their office in Sherborne, headed by Reena Ravel and her team and the service was faultless, prompt, efficient and courteous. Highly recommended.

Susie

Reena Raval acted on our behalf on a house sale - the whole process was very efficient with fast communication and quick responses to any questions. This whole process has been handled very professionally. I would thoroughly recommend Reena. 

Client

Impressively rapid and helpful responses at all stage of the sale of our Mum's property.

Sylvia

Reena and Jennifer worked hard to keep us updated and explain in every detail the procedure of selling and buying. Renna replied by return any enquiries we came up against and was always polite and understanding. She came over as a person who was on your side at all times. It was useful to liaise via the Taunton office but it would have been nice to put a face to the voices. 

Anne

Our house purchase was handled smoothly and it was straight forward to work with Reena and Beckie. The conveyancing process can seem complicated with lots of legal jargon, but everything was explained to us in a easy to understand way. All of our queries were answered promptly, we almost always had a response to our emails the same day, if not within half an hour or so which was really helpful and reassuring during the final stages of the process. We'll certainly be using Porter Dodson again in the future. 

Charlotte

The service provided by Porter Dodson through a difficult and emotionally challenging property sale and purchase was superb. Staff were accessible when advice was needed, responses sometimes were available out of normal working hours. We were impressed particularly by Reena Raval the solicitor and her assistant Beckie Old. Advice received was clear and concise. 

David

We had Reena as our solicitor during our house move process. It was a very long and complicated move, with lots of different queries and difficult solicitors on the other side. Reena was fantastic at keeping us informed and updated, and doing everything she could to move things along. I would absolutely recommend Porter Dodson if you are going through a similar process. Thank you Reena and the team for all of your help, we really appreciate you all. 

Olivia

We had a great experience selling and buying our house and wouldn’t hesitate to use Porter Dodson again for any of their services. Reena and Beckie were absolutely brilliant and were always available to answer our questions. Reena ensured that she kept us in the loop every step of way which was really reassuring, having not been through the sale process before. They always explained everything to us never made us feel silly for asking what were probably very obvious questions. We cannot thank Reena and Beckie for everything they did to make this process as stress free and smooth as possible.

Finally we shall be using Porter Dodson again for another matter, and we would not hesitate to recommend them.
