Excellent support during a very complex and long sale and purchase due to various unavoidable situations. The original fee quotes were adhered to regardless of work involved, I would highly recommend Porter Dodson, especially Kirstie Headon who had the patience of a saint, and Rosie Kirby, who responded to all my panic and stress so well.

Reena Ravel was recommended to me and I was delighted to follow up the recommendation. Reena and her paralegal Beckie Old kept me informed throughout. Documentation and the necessary checks were made in advance so that once an offer was accepted all was prepared. I asked for a prompt exchange/completion on selling a property and this was duly achieved with minimal involvement on my part. Gemma, the receptionist deserves a special mention for coping with stress on exchange day as well as always being accommodating and passing on messages to Reena whenever I popped in.

Thank you for all your hard work getting me into my new home. I’m so happy here.
You are an amazingly efficient friendly team. I’m so pleased I used your services

Porter Dodson Yeovil- Bryony and Rosie have been absolutely brilliant in helping my partner and me purchase our first home. They were always quick to respond, kept us informed throughout the process, and took the time to answer any questions we had.
Buying a first home can be quite daunting, but their professionalism, knowledge, and support made the whole experience much smoother and less stressful. We are incredibly grateful for all their help and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

I had a fantastic experience working with Jenny & Emma in Wellington during the purchase of my first property. From start to finish, they were incredibly supportive, professional, and always on hand to guide me through the process.
As a first-time buyer, I expected things to feel quite overwhelming at times, but their clear communication and reassurance made the whole process feel seamless. They were always patient, thorough, and happy to answer any questions I had which made a huge difference.
I’m genuinely very grateful for all their hard work and the support they provided throughout it didn’t go unnoticed and was very much appreciated.
I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again in the future. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone going through a property purchase, and I’m hoping to work with them again when we come to sell another property in the near future. Once again thank you so much from Nikkie M

We had a great experience with Reena, Jennifer and Beckie in the Sherborne office to purchase our first flat. They were efficient, friendly and professional at all times, helping us at every step of the process and great at keeping us informed. We would highly recommend them.

Paul and his staff explained and made the process of making my Will and Health and Financial LPA's very straight forward for me.
Much more efficient than completing the paperwork myself, following government guidelines etc.

Reena Ravel has been extremely efficient and thorough over the selling of our property. No stone was left unturned, advice was given at each stage to ensure the proceedings were expedited as quickly as possible under what seems a very clunky system in England when buying/selling property.

It has been a long and drawn out sale of my late mothers property, but made so much easier by the efficiency of Porter Dodson and especially Reena. Everything was done efficiently, professionally and in good time - so often not the case with solicitors. Thank you for making a difficult sale as straightforward as possible. Would highly recommend Porter Dodson

Reena and Beckie have made the conveyancing process simple and quick. They provide a great service and I would no hesitate to use Porter Dodson again.

The team at Porter Dodson were all extremely helpful, thorough, prompt with responses and always able to explain things to us very well. Our first purchase fell through and the team were extremely supportive throughout a difficult time. The second house went through smoothly, and everyone made the whole experience very easy. Thank you.

Both Reena and Beckie were always very helpful and responsive whilst dealing with my house purchase. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and their firm.

Having moved a number of time over the previous years we've had experience of a number of solicitors, with Reena and Beckie being by far the most conscientious, diligent and efficient for our conveyancing - their communication was excellent and they continued to manage our house sale effectively. I can't rate them highly enough 11/10 and would recommend to anyone looking to find a first class solicitors.

I instructed Ellice Pounder recently to write my Will. She was excellent, very professional and I was well advised throughout the process. I would highly recommend Ellice.

I have just sold a house and Porter Dodson were my choice of solicitors. I am so glad I chose this firm!
Louise from the Poundbury branch was so helpful. All my enquiries were answered very promptly and clearly and I felt the whole sale was dealt with very professionally.
I would not hesitate in recommending this company.

I asked Porter Dodson ( Louise Wooten ably helped by her assistant Tiffany Powell ) to act for me and my wife in selling a large London house and simultaneously buying a similarly priced apartment in the same borough of London. The two transactions totalled several million pounds. The conveyancing in the latter case was voluminous, but both transactions proceeded without a hitch and completion was achieved simultaneously in line with previous promises and commitments.

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 amazingly 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.

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
The complexity was historical but once all parties were focussed on completion the required result was achieved
Very customer focussed and excellent, pragmatic advice re what was acceptable practice when it’s so easy to go for the easy route!! Recommend
