I wanted to sell my flat in Southsea in order to purchase another property and move.
The local solicitor I usually use couldn’t deal with the sale of my flat because the top floor of the building exceeded 11meters in height, meaning the building fell into the ‘Building Safety Act’ which they didn’t specialize in.
My solicitor recommended Warner Goodman who were a local solicitor to me and who dealt with the Building Safety Act. I always like to use a local solicitor as I don’t like using online / postal / no win no fee / solicitor company miles away etc.
Cost wise they are competitive and I was more than happy to instruct them for my sale and purchase.
Flats can be complicated to sell with accounts / section 20 / maintenance cost / management and lease.
The sale of the property I owned fell through twice. Two of my buyers pulled out at the last minute, which was out of the control of myself or my solicitor and frustrating.
Warner Goodman were always positive, having plenty of experience, they were always reassuring and kept the costs to a minimum, keeping all the work they had done to use in the next sale when a new buyer would come along.
Eventually I managed to exchange contracts on my 3rd sale attempt and have now successfully moved.
I would definitely recommend Warner Goodman. I my experience, especially if you are selling a flat. They are very experienced, efficient and organized and very reasonably priced and I will always be thankful for their service.

Without a doubt, having used Warner Goodman for three property transactions they are the epitome of professional service, clear easy communication, personable and above all good to do business with which means that they also remove a lot of the stress which inevitably goes with buying and selling property. My experience of the receptionist, Paul, Chris and Daniel can only be described as faultless.

We switched to Warner Goodman after our original solicitor's Ts&Cs revealed numerous hidden costs. I'm so glad we did as Warner Goodman have been so much easier to deal with and understand as first time buyers. Paul and his team communicated regularly and would always explain everything clearly. They were always happy to answer questions and had an approachable, friendly manner. We felt confident with our purchase in their hands and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Warner Goodman or use their services again if required.

From the onset of our dealings with Paul and his team at WG we felt thoroughly supported and well informed. As first time home buyers we needed a guiding hand and this was provided in a professional and kind way and when the inevitable delays in the housing market slowed the process down WG were excellent at advocating for us, keeping momentum and communicating with us and our vendor. We felt their service genuinely couldn't have been better and feel very satisfied.
