Friendly and efficient service

I was at the end of aclong chain selling and buying a property. Laura Carter and her team dealt with the conveyancing process in a professional and friendly manner. Communication was great and it was evident had I not been in a long chain the whole process would have concluded much quicker. Fees were very reasonable too. Would highly recommend.

Devonalds dealt with the sale of a buy to let property for me. The service was friendly and helpful and I was kept informed about progress. I was very impressed with their online app, which was easy to use and an excellent way of keeping in touch and keeping up with progress. Staff were also helpful on the phone.

Devonalds were very helpful, didn't make me wait. I would recommend them to anyone who needed a Solicitor, regardless what their situation was.
I found Zac approachable. He advised me and it was an interesting topic.
I personally wish to thank them. If needed, I would definitely use them again.

Devonalds have been brilliant during a very long and drawn out 6 months it has taken to buy our house. At our end, we were ready to complete within 8 weeks of the offer being accepted and this was due to Nicky’s excellent work getting required work complete. Will definitely be using Devonalds for any future purchases!
