First time property purchase help

Emma Lanza has been dealing with the purchase of my 1st property. There were lots of hiccups (seller's fault) and Emma has helped me through a very stressful process in a calm and efficient manner (prompt responses also). Thank you!

Danielle and the team were great

Danielle and the team were great! They were always on hand to answer questions and give us guidance where needed. We weren't buying through an agent but they were great at keeping things moving and giving us updates when there were any.
Thanks guys, keep up the good work.

Sales and Purchases

I have used Goddard Dunbar for the sale and purchases of two properties over the last two years and have been very happy with the experience. Danielle has been my contact throughout and is friendly, professional and uses clear and honest communication. I definitely have no complaints and would recommend. :)

Picking the right solicitor

I have used the firm before and for this sale they were my first choice of solicitors, throughout the sale of my property I have always found them professional and prompt in answering any of my questions however trivial

Communication/updates awful

I felt that the proactivity of the solicitor was very lacking, I found her updates abrupt and very jargony, and whenever I asked for an update I felt like an inconvenience. My sale was only progressed with the proactivity of a conveyancing assistant who I found to be very effective and informative, but the solicitors communication was not good. I also made a lot of ground by taking matters into my own hands, contacting other stakeholders myself to move it along. Very little empathy for a stressful experience shown.

Good morning Katie, I am sorry to hear that you had such a stressful experience with one of our team, it is most unusual to hear this as you will notice that all our reviews are currently 5 star. Please be assured that we are now investigating you case and will reply to you with an update as soon as we possibly can, in the meantime please do not hesitate to contact our Head Solicitor/Director Lindsey if you wish to discuss this sooner.

Goddard Dunbar very efficient, worth considering if you need legal advice.

Goddard Dunbar are in the process of sorting out McClures Solicitors mess who have gone into administration. The person dealing with us at Goddard Dunbar Paul, has been clear and gave an explanation of what was required. Pleased to say the procedures that were to be taken are now in place, the cost for Goddard Dunbar to do this is nearly two thirds less than Jones Whyte quoted! (who are the main company dealing with McClures)

Goddard & Dunbar: Excellence personified

I engaged the services of Goddard & Dunbar to execute the sale of my late mother's property. A very efficient and professional company. Communication was excellent from Hannah who responded to each and every email the same day answering my questions with clarity and precision, no ambiguity at all which was very refreshing, helpful to say the least. Hannah also went above and beyond what I have cone to expect from solicitor's when I have engaged other firms. All in all an excellent firm to work with; dymanic, friendly, proactive and empathetic. Well done and thank you Goddard Dunbar and Hannah

I have recently moved house

I have recently moved house, which was a process that took us 5 months..Emma Lanza was our conveyancing solicitor. She was absolutely fantastic, patient, professional and put up with my endless emails and contacts! I would absolutely recommend Emma and her team to anyone. We were very lucky to have the support of such a super firm....do not go anywhere else!!

Friendly and efficient service

Emma Lanza and her team handled the sale of our property and from the outset they provided an extremely efficient service. All of the communications we received were clearly explained and any phone calls we made were quickly answered and our queries dealt with. Given that we are living 3,000 miles away from the property we were selling and most of the communications were by email we encountered no problems and couldn't believe how easy the process was made by Emma and her team. It took just 8 weeks for the sale to be completed.
Would highly recommend Goddard Dunbar.

We used Goddard Dunbar to update our Family Trust, the previous solicitors having gone into administration. At a very stressful and anxious time Mr Paul Finn and his assistant Abbi Roberts were efficient, helpful and reassuring. Abbi always had the time to answer any questions we had and kept us updated throughout the process.

Efficient, Contactable and Responsive

Goddard Dunbar were a fantastic and efficient solicitor for us. They handled three remortgages, one new mortgage and a property equity transfer. They were always contactable, responsive and took the stress out of moving property.

Exceptional and high quality service

There aren't enough superlatives in the dictionary to adequately describe the wonderful service that I received from the Goddard Dunbar team, especially our conveyancing solicitor Emma Lanza. We used Goddard to deal with both the sale of our property and the purchase of our new property and it was a decision we never once regretted. Emma and the team constantly kept us updated on the progress of the deals, made sure we received all the information in a timely manner and were always there to provide help and advice when needed. I would have no hesitation in recommending the team to anyone else who needs help with selling or buying a property, they really do offer a wonderful five-star service.

I would highly recommend Goddard & Dunbar Associates if you are buying or selling your home. My experience was outstanding from start to finish. Associates were always on hand on every telephone call and team dealing with my sale and purchase always kept me constantly informed throughout. They definitely helped to relieve most of the stress that comes with moving home.
