First class service

My experience was with the sale of my house and purchase of flat which did not go smoothly for various reasons - I cannot speak highly enough of the professional advice, help and actions taken by my Solicitor, which resulted in each of the challenges being overcome over a considerable time but this resulted eventually in a successful sale and purchase. I could not have had a better Solicitor and would thoroughly recommend him

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.

Competent, dedicated and thorough professionals

5

Goodlaw have acted for us in the sale and purchase of two properties in Bognor Regis. To say that the process (over the past 18 months) has been fraught is something of an understatement. Buyers pulling out, the death of the vendor, a long delay before submission to probate, the realisation of freeholder and leaseholder responsibilities under the Buildings Safety Act 2022 and a somewhat unhelpful attitude from the vendors solicitors have all contributed to a more difficult than usual conveyance

Power of Attorney House Sale

Gareth & Diane were both professional & kind as we navigated our way through a power of attorney house sale for my mother with no registered title. I would highly recommend.

A difficult sale

I was selling a leasehold flat and buying another one. I think Gareth should write a training manual for trainee solicitors studying conveyancing because just about every problem that could have happened did!

Gareth and Diane were my contacts at Goodlaw. Their experience and calm nature were behind every stage of the sales process. All communication was clear and precise, and I highly recommend using Goodlaw.

Outstanding SErvice Provided

We dealt with Owen Walsh in the main and also Gareth Collins - a reasonably complex transaction which was handled professionally and with pace by both. Clear communication and speedy responses kept us fully informed throughout. Understandably these things do take time to complete, however being kept informed and emails responded to the same day and with clear and easy to understand responses took away any pressure we felt during this process. Thank you

Given the abundance of subpar solicitors, it was a relief to find Goodlaw (special mention to Gareth). Timely, quality and professional advice that could be understood in plain English. Highly appreciated for what turned out to be a rather complex case.

We used goodlaw for our conveyancing.

Gareth Collins has been amazing throughout the whole process and could not have been more helpful.

Gareth and his team have been extremely responsive, answering all our questions quickly and answered my many, many calls without making me feel like I was pestering them (even though I likely was - sorry!!!).

Gareth knew our situation and that we were on a tight deadline to compelte before the stamp duty relief deadline. He ensured he did everything possible to make this happen and I’m so pleased that his hard work has paid off and we have exchanged today (after many issues that Gareth had to overcome).

The professionalism shown throughout has been second to none. I was particularly impressed with the advice I recieved and the time taken to explain things to me.

I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for us Gareth and would not hesitate to use you again, and will certainly recommend you to everyone!!

Thanks again, you have made the whole process less stressful, and pushed things on when they could’ve caused us to miss out on the relief.

We’ve had an excellent experience with GoodLaw, with Gareth providing a service above and beyond for our conveyancing. Gareth was always available via telephone and email. The buyers of our property used a rogue conveyancer but Gareth took it all in his stride and did everything possible to get our move complete. Gareth brought levity to what would have otherwise been a stressful situation. Could not recommend them more.The value was excellent and we’ll always use GoodLaw!

We had the slightly nervy prospect of Goodlaw taking over the previous law offices during the conveyancing of our house purchase!

I have to say, the transition was a marvellous upgrade and our conveyancer mkII (Gareth) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout. We are in Buckinghamshire not Sussex and used Goodlaw on recommendation. I will happily pass on the same to anyone who asks.

First class service.
