About this score
This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average. In legal services, value for money is not about being the cheapest option, but about whether clients feel the service, expertise, and outcome justified the cost. This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score
This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like.
When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

"We were probably one of the earliest clients of the founder Jim Goddard some 25 ish years ago and we wouldn't go anywhere else. We always recommend Complete Wills and recently a family member has gone ahead with a single will and we are going to receive a £25 love2shop voucher"

Sold a flat because of a Executor job i was given, Goddard Dunbar did the selling side, within 4 months it was all completed. So decided to use them again for the purchase of my own house.

We were probably one of the earliest clients of the founder Jim Goddard some 25 ish years ago and we wouldn't go anywhere else. We always recommend Complete Wills and recently a family member has gone ahead with a single will and we are going to receive a £25 love2shop voucher which is a nice touch for us. Tracey on Reception is lovely - very welcoming and knowledgeable. Nothing is too much trouble. We recently saw Pip who gave us excellent service. So friendly and very professional. A big thankyou to all the staff for your help, advice and for being so lovely.

A great experience with the sale of my late Dads house with Goddard Dunbar from start to finish. The cost was very reasonable too, compared to the other two quotes we had from other solicitors. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your 5 star review Julie, it is truly appreciated.

Seemless, communicative & professional
I recently hired Goddard Dunbar & Associates Ltd to sell my house, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, friendliness, and communication. Everything you could hope for when selling your home, really. They went above and beyond to keep me informed at every stage of the process. They were always responsive to my questions and concerns, making what can often be a stressful experience feel manageable and even enjoyable. They gave me expert guidance, and worked tirelessly to get the best possible outcome. Their friendly approach combined with their professionalism made the whole thing smooth and hassle-free. I would definitely recommend Goddard Dunbar & Associates Ltd to anyone looking to sell their property. If you want a team that truly cares about delivering results while making you feel valued, Carole, Deborah, and the whole team are the ones to call.

I can not recommend this team enough. There were multiple people helping throughout my purchase and sale and all of those were brilliant. From start to finish, the whole process was stress free and it was all thanks to the team involved. Excellent communication, very reactive, very professional. All in all phenomenal service, put your faith in these guys.

Navigating the property market as a solo first-time buyer can feel overwhelming, but working with Goddard and Dunbar made the entire process seamless. Their communication was consistently great from day one, and they were always easy to get a hold of whenever I had questions or needed reassurance. Definitely recommend
