Stay away

Very slow and unprofessional. Used them for buying a first home and what a shock, they did almost nothing and charged way above the price mentioned at the start. I had to chase the lender and seller and the agency. Did half of their job and it still took them forever to just send a few reports. The worst part was when they said it takes 4 days to print an offer. I mean what?! Just avoid them if you want to save money and nerves, and mostly time.

Thank you for leaving your review regarding your purchase. Following a discussion with the team, we understand there were circumstances that were out of our control that contributed towards the delay, such as the timings from the leasehold and management companies involved; a situation that was discussed with our client directly at the time. Relating to your comments regarding our fees, these remained the same as those that were explained within our terms of business and were agreed to at the beginning of the transaction with us. If you would like to discuss this further, do feel free to contact us directly. Warner Goodman LLP

Excellent Conveyancing

All of the team at Warner Goodman were friendly and helpful throughout my purchase and sale transactions. John Blakes teams were helpful, informative and timely with information, nothing was too much trouble for them. John's knowledge and guidance was invaluable. The fee paid is worth the service provided and we will be engaging Warner Goodman again for other matters. All round this was an excellent service which was even more appreciated by us as it was during the pandemic.

John, Karen and the team were just brilliant and faultless. We have had the pleasure of using their services since April this year with one failed and one successful house purchase. The team are ever so efficient and helpful.
