Sara Edwards and her team have been amazing. Sara has answered any questions we had within minutes and did everything she could to ensure the sale went through as quickly as possible. I would highly recommend Sara and her team and will definitely be using them again.

We had a perfect experience with Devonalds, the team are professional yet personal and very pleasant to converse with and nothing is too much trouble, in fact they made such an effort to complete 2 properties for us in record time, correspondence was always sent out immediately, far better than any other solicitors I have ever used.

I have had the pleasure of working with Alex and Kelsey from the Pontypridd branch and can honestly not recommend either of them highly enough. As a first time buyer, this entire process was totally new to me, but everything was explained clearly at every stage. Alex and Kelsey were proactive on communicating any updates to me and ensured I felt secure in what was happening at all times. Everything was completed quickly and with a great deal of care. Thank you so much!

Devonalds made it so easy for us. The whole process from start to finish! I would like to especially thank Luke McCarthy for all the chasing he done, and everything else in between. Highly recommend!

We sold our home and purchased another with Devonalds acting as our solicitors. Whilst the sale of our own property was smooth, the purchase of our new home was full of issues and delays (none of which we're Devonalds fault), as the vendor's own solicitors we're moving very slowly and the house we were purchasing was somewhat unusual and came with some unusual quirks that needed to be resolved before we completed.
Despite this, Luke and his team at Devonalds went above and beyond to try to keep the ball rolling on our purchase, speaking with both the vendor's solicitor and estate agent to get answers to outstanding queries and push for a completion date that was sooner, rather than later. I wouldn't hesitate to go with Devonalds again in future.

Highly recommend Devonalds Solicitors, their service is impeccable and I cannot thank the team enough for their help and support in buying our new home. Buying and selling Is an already horrendously stressful process anyway, and we had the most ridiculous experience due to what can only be described as another solicitor firms sheer incompetence. However, Alex and the team were super efficient, very supportive and most importantly took the time to answer all the 'stupid questions' so we truly understood the entire process and guided us every step of the way. We cannot thank them enough for their support and professionalism.

We were referred to Rhian in treorchy for our first house purchase, and she was absolutely amazing! Solicitors on the other side of the sale made several mistakes, but thanks to Rhain being persistent and extremely helpful we picked up our keys yesterday and couldn't be happier! I'd defiantly recommend Rhian and her team in treorchy, they were amazing from start to finish! Always available, and no question was silly or to much hassle to answer! Thank you!

I am sorry to say I am unable to recommend the conveyancing team of this firm. Mine was an uncomplicated case, the sale only of a vacant property to a cash buyer with no chain. But from the first day I encountered carelessness, neglect and unnecessary delays. I was also charged more than promised in the original quotation, but was refused any refund. Avoid.

What an outstanding service! Lots of my friends and family use them for good reason, they are super efficient, go above and beyond, very experienced, communication is flawless to. Possibly the most friendly helpful service you could come across. Sara Edwards and Leanne Carter do an outstanding job for my family and friends. I don't usually write a review, but I felt this was the least I could do to say thank you, for all their hard work and dedication. Sorry, I didn't take the take to write this review sooner.

We went with the Tonypandy branch to do the conveyancing work on our house and the service we received was outstanding! Glenn was professional throughout and Hayley was always prompt and helpful. Someone was always on the other end of the phone or email and nothing was too much to ask of them! I would highly recommend Devonalds and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Lovely friendly solicitor for probate who talked us through everything and gave us 2 different options. They had a fair price and were very honest with what I needed. I was very happy and wouldn't hesitate if I needed them for anything else. Others I spoke to were just after what they could make off me.

Completed our will with Devonalds. Lauren Powell and Phil Robinson at the pontypridd office were fantastic. Many thanks we will use this company again.

Myself and my partner used Alex Kilby for the purchase of our first home. As I work in the industry myself I had already heard good things about Alex and was recommended by colleagues in work. Alex got the sale through from start to finish in a very quick time considering it was over the Christmas period. Any queries and questions were answered efficiently and professionally. I would recommend Alex to anyone looking to purchase a home in the area. Thanks for your help and best wishes.

We recently purchased our first house with the help of Sara Edwards, couldn't have asked for a better service+she made the whole process a lot less daunting! Would highly recommend
