Very good experience!

We recently used Olivia on a new build leasehold and are amazed at how quickly the transaction was. Buying a house is one of the most stressful milestones but Olivia made it the easiest milestone yet. Olivia was great - she provided us with ongoing updates, gave great advice and answered all our questions promptly. We would definitely recommend Olivia and are so grateful to have had her doing our conveyancing. Thank you so much Olivia.

Glowing Review for Olivia Graves at Rawlins Davy Reeves

I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Olivia Graves at Rawlins Davy Reeves to sell my property, and I can confidently say she exceeded all expectations. The sale needed to be processed quickly due to time constraints, and Olivia rose to the occasion with remarkable efficiency and skill.

From start to finish, Olivia’s communication was flawless. She kept me informed every step of the way, explaining complex matters in a clear and accessible manner. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every interaction, and she approached each aspect of the transaction with unwavering focus.

What stood out the most was Olivia’s calm and stoic nature, even during high-pressure moments. She handled every challenge with confidence and grace, ensuring I felt reassured throughout the process. Her expertise and problem-solving skills were nothing short of extraordinary, and she consistently delivered timely, practical solutions that kept the sale moving forward without a hitch.

Thanks to Olivia’s dedication and capability, the sale was completed within the tight timeframe I required, which was no small feat. If you’re looking for a solicitor who combines exceptional professionalism with outstanding efficiency, Olivia Graves is the one to choose. I cannot thank her enough for making what could have been a stressful process so smooth and successful. Highly recommended!

Burcu has provided a professional, knowledgeable and efficient service in a family law case.
She has kept clear, easy to understand communication throughout the process which has been a great relief.
She has been quick and efficient to make amendments in my statements.
I would recommend this firm and Burcu’s services. If you are looking for a reassuring, capable and reliable solicitor, she is the one for you.

I just wanted to say how brilliant Olivia was with our sale of our property.

She was amazing on the day of exchange, keeping me updated all the time and saying at 4.55pm that it wasn't the end of her working day and she would get the exchange done.

I cannot thank her enough for doing that and making everything else so smooth.

Recommend for anyone to use Burcu Bulbul and Rawlins Davy Reeves.

My name is Peter Nixon I have currently been in a difficult situation with the care of my children.
This has been a new and different experience for me.
I was asked to get a solicitor and I decided to use Rawlins Davy Reeves simply because I walk past there office a lot.
I didn't know how good they were or have any idea how long i would need to use a solicitor for.
I became in contact with Burcu Bulbul from Rawlins Davy Reeves.
I have been in contact with Burcu for 9 months while the social services and courts have been decided on the outcome of the children.
Burcu has been an absolute pleasure to work with and has delivered me the best service I could have asked for.
Burcu has always been very professional and most importantly has reassured me and showed me that she was always there to support me when i needed her.
I have the up most respect for her and the whole team at Rawlins Davy Reeves.
I am thoroughly impressed with the service, support and compassion that I have received from Burcu.
I would recommend Burcu Bulbul and Rawlins Davy Reeves to anyone who needs a solicitor whether it be a family case like mine or for some other legal matter.
All that is left to say is thank you very much Burcu Bulbul and thank you to Rawlins Davy Reeves.

I am absolutely shocked at the arrogance that has been shown after my father's will was sent through a non-tracked service and lost due to their lack of responsibility.
I stress that this issue has been an on going situation for over a month now, with me having been patient and kind the entire time, understanding they may be a busy practice. However, I have been told that since my father passed away 6 years ago "there is no urgency", despite the fact that I am in need of the document for other processes relating to the passing of my grandmother in another country - to which there has already been a months delay now. They have also told me that it was "my responsibility to have the document after his death". Which is irrelevent to them and the fact is I did have a certified copy. However, I have moved countries twice since then and I am currently in between two cities over 1000 miles apart, unsure of where that copy is. All I needed was the original document for processes relating to a recent death and I am being contradicted in a, frankly, narcissistic manner.
Despite me waiting already for a month for any clear response about the missing document, my patience, let alone understanding, has not been appreciated and I have been left with nothing but a matter that is not only not my responsibility to resolve morally but also pragmatically as Royal Mail asks for the sender to resolve the issue on their end. Shocking behaviour and service. I am absolutely shocked.

Unprofessional service, no acknowledgment or response to a written letter requesting information. Followed up with telephone call, RDR took details and promised to look into it and come back to me. To date no response whatsoever. Couldn’t possibly recommend.

This firm was recommended to me by a financial advisor, who had good experience with them, and I am one satisfied customer as they say. Although I could not purchase the property, due to personal reasons, the legal work was 100%. I had clarity and transparency at all times, ranging from process to payment details. I shall recommend and return!
