Bio

I joined the Residential Property Team at Porter Dodson in June 2025 having worked in conveyancing for over 30 years.

I handle all aspects of residential conveyancing and assist private individuals in the sale/purchase of their residential properties; newbuild; remortgages and transfer of equity.

I am passionate about the journey we embark on with our clients. I have a keen eye for detail and a commitment to exceptional client care. I ensure that each step is smooth and stress-free. I pride myself on being approachable, friendly, calm and understanding. Communication is key, so I will make sure you are kept informed throughout your journey.

Outside of work I love to unwind with a good book, a long stroll at the beach and spending quality time with my family.

Testimonials

We had to get a flat purchase in Exeter done very quickly. Nicola Hughes and her team at PD pulled out all the stops to get the purchase over the line in an amazing short time - 2 months from first viewing the flat to moving in! This was despite major complications with the Land Registry.

Throughout the rather fraught (for us) process, Nicola was efficient, calm, reassuring and kept us well informed. Very highly recommended.

Steve

Used Porter Dodson for conveyancing on my first house and they were brilliant. All staff I came into contact with were supplying me with all the information and patience when I asked many questions. They provided me with regular updates, advice on process and best choices and gave clear guidance on competing the paperwork. Would absolutely recommend.

My enormous thanks, gratitude and appreciation for your tremendous support and efforts, together with Róisín and Abbie, in ensuring the successful completion of my purchase. There were plenty of frustrations along the way, to be sure, but you very calmly and professionally navigated them and I sincerely appreciate all the advice and reassurance you provided to me along the way. Thanks to your excellent support, you really helped me to focus on the key tasks to help keep things on track, despite all the delays.

Our dealings with Nicola in the Exeter office were very easy. She understood our queries well and responded very quickly.

Alan

So glad I instructed Nicola Hughes to handle my purchase, her reputation precedes her. Nicola does not give up without exhausting all options and somehow makes the impossible happen. Thank you so much Nicola for delivering me a 4 week turnaround for exchange and completion, I know you went above and beyond and I am so grateful to you.
