Complex sale for a number of reasons but the impressive part was when our Solicitor was on vacation and a Partner stepped up and got highly involved in problem resolution - not usual in our experience. Very customer focussed and excellent, pragmatic advice re what was acceptable practice when it’s so easy to go for the easy route! Recommend.

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.

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.

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. When Reena was away, Michelle Wilson stepped in seamlessly, ensuring our progress was not hindered, which we greatly appreciated. The communication was excellent from start to finish, and we felt well-supported by the entire team throughout the process. We would not hesitate to recommend their services.
