I found John extremely helpful and responsive when I needed him to be. We had some issues with the house on the day of completion and John was the calming force in the storm. He secured £1000 off the purchase price in the final hours and I am very grateful for that as the work I’ve now had completed cost £984. I would use Warner Goodman again for the service I received.

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.

The team who dealt with our property puchase were, without exception, professional, friendly and very helpful. We were updated on the progress of our purchase on a regular basis. We couldn't be more happy with the service we received.

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
