Residential property law

Moving home can be one of the most stressful experiences in our lives. Whether you are a first time buyer or have done this many times before, the excitement we all experience is coupled with anxiety and worry.

Our experienced Residential Property Law Team will provide you with clear, helpful advice to guide you through this process and make matters as clear and straightforward as possible, whilst doing all we can to meet your anticipated timescale.

Our property lawyers can provide comprehensive advice and assist you throughout your sale and/or purchase of a property or land. We can also deal with the requirements of any remortgage, equity release or auction. We are experienced in liaising with your mortgage lender, estate agents and other third parties to ensure your transaction is brought to a smooth and efficient conclusion.

We have produced our own booklet explaining the process of buying and selling a house from both sides of the transaction (with typical timescales), which we send to all new clients before starting work. You can also find out more on the Legal Choices website.

We were very pleased with the service we received from Bethany. She worked so hard and diligently to ensure that our purchase was completed, communicating with us throughout. Bethany dealt with everything calmly and professionally, and all within the very reasonable set fee originally agreed. We would highly recommend Porter Dodson to anyone, and would definitely use them again.

We were directed to Porter Dodson in Bridport as an efficient and effective solicitor to deal with our flat purchase in Lyme Regis. They did not let us down. Amy Bishop and Steve Dunkerton were nothing short of amazing! It took 16 weeks from offer to completion. Both were communicative and always available for my sometimes pointless questions. I cannot rate these guys high enough. I will be recommending Porter Dodson at Bridport solely on the expertise of Amy and Steve. Thank you both so much.

Paul & Suzie

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.

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.
