I recently worked with Charlotte Payne and Carol Taylorson on a commercial property transaction. They were highly professional, provided prompt responses, and offered excellent support throughout the process. I would highly recommend them to others and would gladly work with them again.

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.

The service I received was excellent. I was kept informed and the staff provided support for everything I was looking to achieve. The work was all done remote outside the UK and all went smoothly. The engagement was a positive experience

WGS was recommended to me, so I chose them on this reference. John Blake was my Solicitor, however throughout I dealt mainly with the Paralegal who I felt lacked PR skills and often spoke to me in a condescending manner. This also made me feel unable to ask questions about anything I did not understand.
This lack of good communicative care made an already stressful situation, even more stressful than it needed to be.
Documents were misfiled, and I was asked for paperwork to be sent that I had already sent. On occasion when I asked the Paralegal to get back to me via a phone call, it didn't happen.
The communication at the end reference completion was good and the lady who dealt with this side of things kept me in the loop and was very helpful.
I am now in my house, so we got there in the end.

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
