Conveyancing

I thought having to sell my dad's house as his attorney would be very stressful. Apart from the difficult and emotional task of sorting through and emptying his house, the conveyancing could not have gone any better. All staff were sensitive, kind, informative and professional. They kept me in the loop the whole time, guiding me through the process with kindness and patience. Timescales were met, and we completed within three months. I cannot thank Julia Beach and her team enough - I am so grateful!

What was anticipated to be a complex and taxing procedure was made remarkably stress-free by Kim, who was patient, empathetic, highly competent, and totally professional in all respects.

Paul and the team were great from start to finish, communication was quick and clear and they were always happy to answer any questions we had. Chris who managed the exchange and completion was brilliant, kept us fully up to date on the progress (or lack of it from time to time) and we could see that she really cared about getting things sorted for us. Thank you all

Paul and his team came recommended to me and were thorough and attentive, chasing and following up paperwork when necessary and keeping me updated. If someone was out of the office other members of staff took over and each as knowledgable as the others on my file,. These details were particularly important to me as I was purchasing from abroad and the time difference didn't always accommodate me waiting to speak to someone else etc. Great service.

I required a Will and Power of Attorney carried out at a time of loss and personal stress. Your staff, particularly Bella, was supportive, professional, and helpful at a very difficult time.

We have been very impressed by the conveyancing process through Warner goodman. Emma Gilliland and Megan Barber are fantastic. They use clear language and stear clear of legal-ease when writing letters or talking to their clients. They are respectful, efficient, and do a thorough job. We have used them previously for the purchase of our first home. And are now using them for a sale and purchase. We would highly recommend.

We were first time buyers and a number of people recommended Warner Goodman and everyone was right to do so as they were absolutely brilliant. We never got to meet the team in person due to lockdown which was a shame but everything still went smoothly and they were very thorough. I would highly recommend Warner Goodman and would consider them for other services beyond home buying/selling based on my experience.

The service we received from Emma and team at fareham was top class. They supported us this year for a sale and house purchase.
The service, response time and honesty was fantastic especially with a few ups and downs in the market.
It was so refreshing to receive this professional service and made it a lot easier for us.
We will definitely be using them again.
Thank you
