Fantastic service

This review is for a different branch.

Nick is a total professional with the calm, knowledgable and wise advice that only comes with significant experience in an industry. He displayed considerable patience in guiding us through the purchase of our house as first time buyers and his attention to detail was nothing short of extraordinary. Recommended by a friend to us, I would have absolutely no hesitations in recommending him to others.

We did have issues with the firm surrounding the purchase, particularly with communications due to personal reasons and a staffing issue.

This however should not detract from my wholly positive review of Nick as a first class professional.

Great service for our Flat Management Company

This review is for a different branch.

Jan at Rawlins Davy Reeves has provided great professional support services for our Flat Management company over a number of years. She has always been proactive over the regular annual activities as well as the ad-hoc support we occasionally need.
Everything to do with annual returns, changes of directors and other tasks is always carried out promptly and in a professional manner. She is a pleasure to deal with.

Sale and purchase of properties

This review is for a different branch.

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.

Ana was very knowledgeable and helpful. When we were beginning to wonder if we could ever get this work done, as 3 other legal practises declining the work, she completed it smoothly, without fuss and in and timely manner. So grateful to her for relieving us of this worry. Highly recommend her and her team

The best solicitor we could have asked for

This review is for a different branch.

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.

Timely, to the point and professional...5 star!

This review is for a different branch.

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.

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.

Had the pleasure of Neil White acting as my solicitor for a property purchase. As a first time buyer, Neil clearly and patiently explained everything to me and made the process as pain free as possible. Look forward to using this companies services in future.
