Reena and Beckie communicated promptly and effectively with both the progress and problems during the house sale, enabling the process to keep moving. The sale proceeded in a timely and organised manner. A highly professional team. Thank you both.

Porter Dodson Solicitors have been a great help to us for the past 12 years. We have recently been very lucky to have Reena Raval from the Sherborne branch helping us with a property. Reena kept us updated at every step, explained everything very clearly with great communication and made the whole process feel completely manageable for us to understand. Reena dealt with our paperwork very swiftly and kept us updated with clear costings. Highly recommended!

Residential Client

Solicitor Reena Raval handled a house sale for us with exemplary efficiency and care, keeping us informed at every stage, and answering our questions clearly and with good humour. Our thanks to her, to her paralegal Beckie Old and to all the team. We strongly recommend Porter Dodson for conveyancing and other legal services.

When we had to sell my late mums home, Jenny and Emma walked me through buying and selling. Couldn't have asked for better help, would highly recommend the firm to anyone.
