Excellent service provided against a really tight deadline

My partner and I had a co-habitation agreement prepared prior to our moving in together.
Due to some unforseen delays by the other party, the agreement needed to be reviewed by my solicitor Samantha Miles in a very short period of time. She explained to me simply and clearly all the areas of concern which she had and in just a matter of hours had the re-draft of the agreement with the changes ready and returned to the third party.

The service I received from Samantha and Warner Goodman was exceptional, very fast, efficient and friendly. I can highly recommend this company to anyone requiring a solicitor.

Heather and her Top Team

We are getting towards the end of a very stressful house move Heather and her Team have been very supportive the whole way through. Always understanding and willing to listen and guide us through the process. We have exchanged today Heather had the office on speaker phone when she called us with the great news and I think we were all in tears by the end of the call. We can't thank them enough for helping us get through this and help us get to our new retirement flat. Top team thank you so much.

Didn't inspire

Used WG for house purchase 18 months ago. Excellent! Going back felt like a second year car insurance policy. Not competitive, especially on the Power of Attorney quote. Twice the price of another well known Southsea solicitors. Also not taking on business in that area at the moment due to restructuring. Lackadaisical approach re conveyancing quotes. This may have been down to volume of work. Not convinced that they wanted my business so have gone elsewhere

We worked with Paul and Chris for our recent purchase. We were impressed by professionalism, reliability, level of experience, and knowledge they had offered. Our case was pretty challenging but at no point they gave up on it and pushed as hard to get it over the line. This is the second time we used Warner goodman and both times we were pretty pleased with the results. Strongly recommend.

Paul Winslade and his team were simply a pleasure to work with on four property acquisitions and a few we did not proceed with. An excellent team where the test of excellence is the ability to consistently maintain the highest possible standards of performance at every level in the team, which they did on each and every occasion.

Would not use again. Slow to answer questions and because of bickering with sellers solicitors, increased delays, we had to pay stamp duty. To resolve issues I had to contact seller directly.
