Bronte Haynes - Superstar
We've had an exceptional experience working with Bronte for three property transactions in the past 12 months. Start to finish, the process has been handled with professionalism, efficiency, and excellent attention to detail.
Communication was always prompt and clear with regular updates at every stage. She made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Any questions we had were answered quickly and thoroughly and we always felt in safe hands. What really stood out was her proactive approach in chasing things up without us needing to ask and ensuring deadlines were met. We felt genuinely supported throughout which hasn't been the case when using a different firm in the past.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bronte to anyone needing a reliable and knowledgeable conveyancer!
A representative from Rawlins Davy Reeves Limited responded to this review on 20 June, 2025:
Dear Ed, Thank you for your kind words and continued trust over the past year. We’re thrilled to hear that Bronte provided such a smooth and professional experience across all three transactions. Your recommendation means a great deal to us. Best regards, Rawlins Davy Reeves Limited

Can not be beaten
First class service, and we couldn’t have asked for better service.
From start to finish Alan put us at ease, understanding what was required and dealt with the situation in a very professional friendly way.
We would recommend Alan and his colleague Neil to others as their first port of call, and if we ever need any further legal advice, we would not hesitate to contact Alan.
A representative from Rawlins Davy Reeves Limited responded to this review on 20 June, 2025:
Dear Graham, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted Alan and Neil provided a first-class, professional, and friendly service throughout. Your recommendation means a great deal. Best regards, Rawlins Davy Reeves

Great service for our Flat Management Company

Sale and purchase of properties
We sold our house and downsized to a flat with the conveyancing carried out Rawlins Davy Reeves. Due to stamp duty pressures all conveyancing had to be completed by 1 April. Bronte and Alex who handled everything were professional, straightforward and easy to communicate with. They were excellent and even with more pressured circumstances they achieved all that was asked of them. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who need good solicitors.
A representative from Rawlins Davy Reeves Limited responded to this review on 14 April, 2025:
Thank you for your lovely review, David. We're so pleased Bronte and Alex could support you through a smooth and timely move. We really appreciate the recommendation!

The best solicitor we could have asked for
Our solicitor, Hannah, was incredible. She handled both our sale and purchase, and managed to make it all happen before the stamp duty change. She was efficient and excellent in her communication, keeping us updated every step of the way. When there were any issues that arose, Hannah was quick to resolve. We have nothing but positive things to say about our experience with Rawlins Davy Reeves and particularly Hannah and would recommend them to anyone.
A representative from Rawlins Davy Reeves Limited responded to this review on 03 April, 2025:
Thank you for your fantastic feedback, Fiona! We're so pleased to hear that Hannah provided such exceptional service throughout your sale and purchase. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us. If you ever need assistance again, we’ll be here to help!

Timely, to the point and professional...5 star!
After much research, we selected Bronte Haynes based on her prompt and insightful responses to our initial inquiries. While the transaction wasn't straightforward, Bronte swiftly comprehended the important aspects that needed to be addressed. Despite a few challenges, she remained composed and effectively managed to keep the process on track and helped us complete in just six weeks. We wholeheartedly recommend Bronte's services if you are seeking a fresh, well-informed conveyancer.

Thank you for your kind words, Darren. We're delighted to hear Bronte's expertise and efficiency helped navigate the challenges and complete your transaction smoothly. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated.

Flat purchase conveyancing
Exceptional service from Bronte at Rawlins Davy Reeves. Bronte remained an anchor through the whole process, diligently keeping me informed every step of the way, and promptly dealing with all enquiries in a timely manner. As a first time buyer I particularly appreciated her patience and expertise answering my questions, and tenacity to get the job done as quickly as possible.

I would NOT recommend Rawlins Davey Solicitors, I used them for the purchase of the Freehold on a block of Flats. Alex Crabbe failed to due his due diligence and issue a LPE1 but has refused to admit that he did or offer any compensation when we were faced with a deficit on the account following completion. Very sloppy work and would avoid using him/them.
