A Dream Conveyancing Team

Kirsty, Ellie and Milly at Goodlaw guided me through the purchase of my first home - and I could not have asked for better support or service.

From the first moment the process was outlined to me clearly and comprehensively, and then they calmly steered me through it to successful completion.

They were thorough and diligent with the conveyancing work, and always available and always incredibly friendly with me. There is a lot of knowledge and expertise right across the team, which meant that there were no delays and I was confident that my best interests were being protected.

My thanks to them and the firm and I highly recommend them to anyone, but particularly to first-time buyers such as myself who may think the process can be daunting to begin with - not with Goodlaw!

Thank you K, E and M.

Fantastic Solicitor

Beyond five stars!

This is the most supportive legal advice I have ever come across. From start to finish, Malvina offered clear, supportive, and accessible communication, guiding me through every step of the process with care and professionalism. She approached my case with optimism, giving me confidence and reassurance during a challenging time.

What truly sets her apart is her compassion and understanding, you are not just a client, you are treated as an individual with unique needs. I am blessed to have received such a great service and outcome thanks to the incredible work that was carried out in my family matter.

A Pleasure

As FTB's we chose Goodlaw Solicitors as they were local, we are super glad we did. We were assigned Jina (Solicitor) and Alisha (Legal Assistant), they worked with us through a purchase that we had to pull out of - as it was not right for us. Then we instructed them again for a current and successful purchase and we delighted with the outcome.

Goodlaw Solicitors where approachable and professional and nothing seemed like too much trouble. It was great that they had an office base where you could pop in to hand over paperwork, and had the chance to meet up with Alisha who guided us through the AML checks in the initial stages.

A pleasure to deal with and highly recommended. 🤗

Wishing you all the best in your new home! 🏡 Kind regards, The GoodLaw Team

Wonderful Support and Advice

I had an excellent experience with the conveyancing process through Jina and Alisha. Jina was able to push through completion at short notice and under pressure. Jina was calm throughout the process and updated me at each step of the way in a clear manner.

Good service from George Coomber, and Charlotte Boyall (paralegal)

I appreciated the good service and timely communication from George and Charlotte, during a time-sensitive transaction. Working together we finished the transaction with a pleasing two weeks to spare before deadline. Much appreciated!

Excellent Service! I could not have asked for more.

George recently helped us with purchasing a property, subsequent remortgage and transfer of equity, and his service was impeccable. Both George and the team were quick to respond and answer all questions we had thoroughly, removing all the stress from the legal process.

After a frustrating and truly awful experience with a previous firm, we turned to Good Law Solicitors—and the difference was immediate.

From the moment Kirsty Gilbert took over our case, everything changed. Kirsty, along with Amelia and Ellie, was efficient, approachable, and genuinely supportive. They kept us informed every step of the way, answering our questions with clarity and care.

They not only brought us up to speed quickly but also played a vital role in saving a large property chain that was on the verge of collapse. Their professionalism and dedication were evident throughout and made a significant impact—not just on us, but on everyone involved in the chain. The contrast between our previous firm and the team at Good Law was night and day.

We can’t recommend Good Law Solicitors enough—especially Kirsty. She truly turned our experience around and made what could have been a nightmare into a success.

We have and will continue to recommend Kirsty and her team.

Thank you!

Not the best experience when buying a house. From the beginning I explained I was using a LISA and they didn’t seem to take this on board.It was only until a family friend told me the process of how to use it for the purchase I was able to use it. This resulted in later than anticipated for the completion date.
Trying to get the bank details to pay also just took so long.
I don’t think I would use them again. We still got our house though so we did reach the end goal. They are just very slow.
Getting other documents written alongside the purchase was a painful. The confirmation these documents had been completed was 4 months later!

A representative from GoodLaw Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 05 June, 2025:

Thank you for your feedback, and congratulations on your new home. We’re sorry to hear the process wasn’t as smooth as expected. From our records, we’re not certain which solicitor handled your matter, but we’d really appreciate the opportunity to look into this further. Please feel free to get in touch so we can better understand and address your concerns. Kind regards, The GoodLaw Team
