Louise and Tiffany were absolutely great. First time purchasing a house and everything went incredibly smoothly, from instruction to completion everything was done in 3 months. Great response times, very kind and professional. 100% would recommend for home purchase.

Nicola & Roisin were fantastic. My house purchase was far from standard, and the team at Porter Dodson in Exeter remained professional and kept me updated throughout. They went above and beyond when other parties didn’t and I’d recommend anyone to use them. They’re my first choice! Thanks both.
