Top class service, with a great attitude!

Can't fault Goad and Butcher. Anne Verhagan dealt with my late father's probate, inheritance tax etc. She and her colleagues acted with diligence, professionalism and understanding. Conversations were always friendly and caring.

A really good personal service, which you don't get from larger, city firms. Highly recommended!

Left me in legal limbo. They deserve a zero-star rating at most.

In 2020 Goad & Butcher represented me in buying a property. The sale was completed, I paid my fees and the purchase price to Goad & Butcher. Some time later I looked on Land Registry for the title deed and found I was not named as the owner. Goad & Butcher refuse to communicate with me about this matter. While I was their client if they had foreseen a problem they could have warned me and advised on risk. I got no such advice. The SRA say it is a service issue and they cannot deal with it. The Legal Ombudsman are still looking at it. Three years later I am still not named as the owner of the property and still no word from Goad & Butcher.
