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.
A representative from Rawlins Davy Reeves Limited responded to this review on 09 June, 2025:
Thank you for your detailed feedback, Dan. We're glad Nick's expertise and patience made your first-time purchase smoother. We appreciate your understanding regarding the communication challenges and will continue working to improve. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

So grateful to her for relieving us of this worry. Highly recommend her and her team

We recently used Olivia on a new build leasehold and are amazed at how quickly the transaction was. Buying a house is one of the most stressful milestones but Olivia made it the easiest milestone yet. Olivia was great - she provided us with ongoing updates, gave great advice and answered all our questions promptly. We would definitely recommend Olivia and are so grateful to have had her doing our conveyancing. Thank you so much Olivia.

Glowing Review for Olivia Graves at Rawlins Davy Reeves
I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Olivia Graves at Rawlins Davy Reeves to sell my property, and I can confidently say she exceeded all expectations. The sale needed to be processed quickly due to time constraints, and Olivia rose to the occasion with remarkable efficiency and skill.
From start to finish, Olivia’s communication was flawless. She kept me informed every step of the way, explaining complex matters in a clear and accessible manner. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every interaction, and she approached each aspect of the transaction with unwavering focus.
What stood out the most was Olivia’s calm and stoic nature, even during high-pressure moments. She handled every challenge with confidence and grace, ensuring I felt reassured throughout the process. Her expertise and problem-solving skills were nothing short of extraordinary, and she consistently delivered timely, practical solutions that kept the sale moving forward without a hitch.
Thanks to Olivia’s dedication and capability, the sale was completed within the tight timeframe I required, which was no small feat. If you’re looking for a solicitor who combines exceptional professionalism with outstanding efficiency, Olivia Graves is the one to choose. I cannot thank her enough for making what could have been a stressful process so smooth and successful. Highly recommended!

I am absolutely shocked at the arrogance that has been shown after my father's will was sent through a non-tracked service and lost due to their lack of responsibility.
I stress that this issue has been an on going situation for over a month now, with me having been patient and kind the entire time, understanding they may be a busy practice. However, I have been told that since my father passed away 6 years ago "there is no urgency", despite the fact that I am in need of the document for other processes relating to the passing of my grandmother in another country - to which there has already been a months delay now. They have also told me that it was "my responsibility to have the document after his death". Which is irrelevent to them and the fact is I did have a certified copy. However, I have moved countries twice since then and I am currently in between two cities over 1000 miles apart, unsure of where that copy is. All I needed was the original document for processes relating to a recent death and I am being contradicted in a, frankly, narcissistic manner.
Despite me waiting already for a month for any clear response about the missing document, my patience, let alone understanding, has not been appreciated and I have been left with nothing but a matter that is not only not my responsibility to resolve morally but also pragmatically as Royal Mail asks for the sender to resolve the issue on their end. Shocking behaviour and service. I am absolutely shocked.

Unprofessional service, no acknowledgment or response to a written letter requesting information. Followed up with telephone call, RDR took details and promised to look into it and come back to me. To date no response whatsoever. Couldn’t possibly recommend.

This firm was recommended to me by a financial advisor, who had good experience with them, and I am one satisfied customer as they say. Although I could not purchase the property, due to personal reasons, the legal work was 100%. I had clarity and transparency at all times, ranging from process to payment details. I shall recommend and return!
