How Devonalds Compares
Value for money
Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.

Dylan led us through the process, explaining everything in an understandable way. He was able to answer all our questions and guided us painlessly through it all. We had dreaded making our Wills for obvious reasons but it really was easy.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nicky for my new home and I couldn't be more satisfied. Nicky made the entire process seamless and stress-free. His expertise and dedication ensured that everything was handled efficiently and accurately.
I highly recommend Nicky to anyone seeking a reliable and knowledgeable conveyancing solicitor.
Thank you Nicky, for your exceptional service!

Very capable solicitors and would highly recommend to friends and family. We wanted to use a local firm for the purchase of our first house, Sara and Helen made the whole process straightforward and largely stressfree, even with an unexpected plot twist at the end. Thank you both for your help and guidance! If/when we buy again or sell, we'll come straight back.

We just purchased our first house and we were recommended Devonalds Solicitors, in particular, Sara Edwards' Team who handle conveyancing.
They use an app that makes it really easy and convenient to check updates, and progress with your case. It's not without its issues however, we found it particularly useful.
They respond quickly, and they are great in person and on the phone.
As Brits we love to complain about the weather, GP receptionists, and how solicitors love to "drag their feet".
We found the process super fast and we were kept in the loop the whole time. No feet were dragged.
They gave us great advice when we were worried and provided us with clear options when choices needed to be made.
They did an amazing job, and we are very thankful. Hopefully we won't need to buy / sell again but if we do, we know where we will go.
