John Blake’s team were great from the start, they kept me updated throughout, were easily contactable and prompt with their responses. The members of the team I spoke to were really friendly and answered all my questions (being a first time buyer, I had ALOT). The team made what could have been stressful situation, a really pleasurable experience. Karen in particular was wonderful! Thank you!

Exceptional service from day 1. Nothing was ever too much for Paul and Chris. They kept us informed constantly but it was never overwhelming. Any stupid question we had they had an answer to and explained it to its fullest. It was a pleasure to use Warner Goodman, but especially the service from Paul and Chris. We would highly recommend anyone to use Warner Goodman.

Myself and Lydia just want to thank Paul for his outstanding professionalism & how he helped us.

As first time buyers we weren't sure what to expect from the process and heard a lot of horror stories about unhelpful Solicitors, but we found Paul and everyone we spoke to at Warner Goodman extremely kind and helpful.
Paul explained everything to us even at time we weren’t really sure still- weekly updates & support for us couldn’t be more thankful!

We will certainly be recommending your firm & thank you all for the help.
