Excellent service from start to finish.

Kirsty at Goodlaw solicitors came highly recommended to us when we were looking for an conveyancer and I’m so glad we went with them. Kirsty and the team were so efficient - always keeping us informed and always on hand to answer any questions and support us through the process. The sale of our flat went through seamlessly and although we had a few ups and downs with the purchase of our new property (let’s just say that the conveyancing team on the sellers side were not so efficient!) Kirsty kept on top of this and managed everything very well. We felt at ease throughout the whole process and we would highly recommend.

Dealt with our Sale and Purchase perfectly!

We dealt with Kirsty and her assistant Ellie for the sale of our property in Lancing and onward purchase. I couldn't recommend them enough! The property we were buying was a little complicated for us as it included land to the side of the house on its own deeds and an offsite garage which came with all its own complications! They explained everything to us in a way we found it easy to understand. They were always on the other end of the phone and quick to respond to our emails. They made the process so much easier than our first purchase ever went - Thank you Kirsty and Ellie!

Awful experience - felt like I was emailing an AI machine

Every step of the experience was hard and stressful. I felt like I was speaking to an AI machine, who had no customer account management training, and simply did not care or want to help me through the journey. These companies churn this process everyday, so should be offering to making things easier and offer expertise. For the customer, most people do a sales process rarely and it is quite daunting being given pages and pages of information. I did not feel like I had a helping hand at the other end of the email (they pretty much refused to pick up the phone). My contact, lacked attention to detail, often hadn't read things properly and was asking me things I had already answered. They never tried to build any kind of relationship, even when I said I was feeling a bit stressed. When I tried to set up a call to help things, he kept pushing back (talking, even if a quick phone call can clear things quickly and help to build a relationship). After nearly losing the sale, I gave up on my contact at Goodlaw and went directly to the vendors solicitor, and thankfully rescued the sale. They went on holiday without telling me, I felt patronised, they completely lost my trust, not reading things properly. They over complicated things. I can honestly say, they have no idea about the customer. It was utterly awful. I noted that he does not have any reviews on their website, maybe if I had someone else it would have been better.

Brilliant from start to finish

Really great to deal with, especially through such a stressful time. Each email we sent was responded to really fast. If we ever didn’t understand anything Ellie explained everything and never judged! We are so grateful.

Knowledgeable and efficient

My recent experience involved the sale of a house and probate. Both were handled efficiently and promptly and any questions that I had were responded to with minimum delay. I found the staff very courteous and knowledgeable and I would certainly use this firm again.

Fantastic Service

George and the team stepped in mid way through buying our house after a previous solicitor had nearly lost us the sale. The service was proffessional, friendly, fast and with great communication throughout, would thoroughly reccomend.

I have sold my flat and bought a new home with the help of Ellie and Kirsty. They have been amazing and dealt with some very tedious bits of my sale, always absorbing most of the stress and making sure I am always in the loop and understand my options. I haven't had to chase anything as they are always on it, they always answer the phone if I have any questions and are super speedy at replying to emails. They have made the whole process much more bearable, I am so very glad I chose them!

I enlisted the help of Good Law with my house sale and purchase, and they were brilliant throughout. Both Jina and Alisha made things incredibly stress-free and were lovely to deal with. It's definitely the smoothest moving experience I've had to date, and I have already recommended them to other people.

Owen and team have been very helpful throughout the process and it was a great comfort to us to have him on our side to guide us through our situation. I'm sure we will be in touch with Goodlaw again in the future should the need ever arise.

My wife and I recently sold our flat in Hove and completed on the purchase of our new home in Shoreham, using GoodLaw as our solicitor's. Kirsty and Ellie were fantastic and kept us updated throughout the whole process. Anything we needed explaining or running through, they were only an email or phone call away.
We can’t thank them enough for all their help and support, and would definitely recommend! Thanks.

Just completed my sale using GoodLaw Solicitors and what can I say. Fantastic service is an understatement. I switched legal firms from PPL because of time requirements and its the best decision I ever made. Janek was fantastic from start to finish. Will be reccomending them to everyone. Thanks Janek and team.
