During my first appointment any feeling of nervousness was quickly dissipated. While remaining totally professional throughout, Cara (Taylor) was friendly and welcoming and put me at ease. Everything was carefully and clearly explained at a measured pace. There was no sense of being rushed or patronized. The process was completed smoothly (and painlessly!) and my wishes were carried out relevantly and unequivocally.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Devonalds to anyone in need of legal advice. Their commitment/link to the Cancer Research UK fund is especially laudable and reflects the caring nature of the company all round.
A representative from Devonalds responded to this review on 15 May, 2025:
Thank you for leaving such a lovely and glowing review about your experience. It is great to read how Cara put you at ease and you didn't feel at all rushed and that everything was clearly explained. That you would recommend us to others is the highest compliment you can pay us. If we can ever help you again, please let us know.

Would highly recommend. What is a difficult topic to discuss was made easier by Cara Taylor. Very efficient, friendly and a credit to your organisation.
The receptionist on the front desk greeted me with a smile.
Would highly recommend your organisation 100%.

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 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!
A representative from Devonalds responded to this review on 30 July, 2024:
Thank you for your kind words in your review. It is lovely to see that you appreciate the work done by Nicky and the team. We hope you are very happy in your new home and if we can assist you in future we will be happy to do so.
