What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Warner Goodman LLP has built a strong reputation in Southampton for conveyancing and related legal work, with clients returning to the firm for property sales and purchases over several years. A number of reviews mention the clarity of the information provided, from initial quotes through to completion, and describe communication as responsive and timely. Named solicitors such as Kiri, John Neal, Natalie French, Samantha, Grace and Louise receive particular praise for explaining matters in plain terms and remaining available for questions afterwards.

One thing mentioned again and again is the firm's ability to keep transactions moving under pressure, including one sale completed in exceptional time when a mortgage offer was close to expiry, and another chain that was rescued from near collapse. Clients also note that quotations were honoured without unexpected changes, and that assistants and reception staff contributed to a professional and supportive experience. The settlement agreement process is highlighted for its straightforward handling, with clients describing the journey as stress-free. Instructions span residential conveyancing, settlement agreements, estate planning and employment matters, with the same names appearing across different types of work.

I was extremely pleased with my dealing with Grace Kabasele. I was confident that she had my best interests at heart and was an expert in this area of the law. She was very easy to deal with and I would wholeheartedly recommend her and Warner Goodman.

The whole team were excellent at all aspects of the sale of our property. Clear information. Quick turnaround of details needed/requested, and supportive to the pressure on us. Completed in exceptional time, due to pressure in the chain of someone with a mortgage offer due to expire. Will use John Neal and the firm again for our future purchase.
