I had a very positive experience with Goddard Dunbar & Associates during the sale of my property. The team were professional, responsive, and kept the process moving efficiently from start to finish.
Communication was clear throughout, and any queries I had were addressed promptly. They handled the legal side of the transaction thoroughly, kept me informed at each stage, and worked well with the estate agent to ensure a smooth exchange and completion.
I was particularly impressed with how they managed everything while I was overseas, making the process straightforward and stress-free. Their guidance and attention to detail gave me confidence that everything was being handled properly.
I would highly recommend Goddard Dunbar & Associates to anyone looking for reliable and efficient conveyancing services.

We can’t recommend Goddard Dunbar & Associates highly enough for handling the completion of our house sale and purchase. From start to finish, the whole process was managed with professionalism, efficiency and clear communication.
Buying and selling at the same time can be incredibly stressful, but the team kept everything moving smoothly and made sure we were updated every step of the way. They were always on hand to answer questions, explain paperwork clearly, and reassure us when needed.
Completion day went through seamlessly, and we truly felt supported throughout the entire journey. If you’re looking for a reliable, proactive and friendly solicitors firm to handle your move, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Goddard Dunbar & Associates.
Thank you for helping us start our next chapter in our new home! 🏡✨

We recently completed on our house purchase and I honestly can’t thank Charlotte enough for everything she did for us. From start to finish, she was absolutely fantastic. Buying a property can be stressful, but Charlotte made the whole process feel manageable and under control.
She was always clear, thorough and incredibly responsive. No question ever felt like a silly one, and she took the time to explain things properly, which really helped put our minds at ease. When things needed chasing or clarifying, she was proactive and on it straight away.
Her colleagues were also brilliant — professional, helpful and efficient throughout. It really felt like we were in safe hands as a team.
If you’re looking for a conveyancing solicitor who genuinely cares and keeps things moving, I would highly recommend Charlotte and the team. We’re so grateful for all their hard work in getting us over the line.

WOW ! We have just purchased our first home and we had absolutely no idea what we were doing ! We were recommended @goddarddunbar&associates by our mortgage broker and a quick phone call later and a few weeks of going through the motions we have our first home ! Charlotte and Nicola took on everything and answered any questions and kept us well informed every step of the way and made the whole process effortless on our part and even stayed behind late on a Friday to get everything over the line on the day of completion. We can’t thank or recommend @goddarddunbarassociates enough for all the effort and help in helping us get our first home and we will without doubt be back in the future ! We hope you all have a great Christmas and a well deserved rest.

Thankyou all so very mush once again, Owen and Natalie
