It’s been quite the journey selling our property with a subdued market last year it was at times difficult but throughout Godsells have been magnificent
Alastair initially valued it and gave us an accurate assessment of what we could achieve and a realistic appraisal of the market at the time
Following on from that we mainly dealt with Steve Leigh-Bryant in the Christchurch office who has been a total pleasure to deal with throughout.He has a positive outlook and has dealt with all our queries and questions maintaining an upbeat and professional demeanour at all times.
His feedback has always been useful and he has been available when needed with accurate information from the potential buyers.His local knowledge is second to none and that has been crucial in securing the sale of our house which has happened just this week
All in the Christchurch office have been brilliant to deal with and I cannot recommend Godsells highly enough..they’ve definitely earned their money on this one
Thanks from the bottom of our hearts for all your efforts and keep up the good work... Read more

Whilst the initial marketing advice was a little on the optimistic side in terms of valuation, the sale process was handled extremely well with regular updates from the team at Christchurch.
We'd like to say a big thank you to Alistair; Steve; and Emily for achieving the sale of the property in challenging market conditions.... Read more

A long post, but detailed and honest!
Having used Richard Godsell a few years ago and receiving exceptional support and service, instructing them as a highly regarded, long standing estate agent with a remarkable reputation in the area ticked all the boxes for me. On both occasions I dealt with David Midgley.
David gave his honest opinion, he was kind, patient, understanding and extremely professional and I felt he acted in my best interest at all times.
He kept me in the loop with every detail, went above and beyond to deliver everything we agreed and everything he promised..
David found a buyer within 6 days and negotiated a fair price for me.
I also felt he treated us both as a seller and buyer with respect.
I also took David’s advice and used a local solicitor who Richard Godsell have a good relationship with and everything went smoothly and efficiently and everyone worked as a team.
I personally could not have asked for anything more and I would highly recommend David to anyone - you won’t be disappointed!
They say, buying and selling can be stressful, but I think, choose the right agent and let them do their job! Completion on the property took just 9 weeks!! (Yes! - you have read that right!!)
Thank you David and your team - you are a credit to the Estate Agent industry.... Read more

We instructed Richard Godsell for the sale of my Mums property and the purchase of her new one. My Mum had lived in her house for over 50 years and had no experience of selling or buying a property.
We can not thank Steve, and the team enough for the way they dealt with the whole process from beginning to end.
Steve was so thoughtful and patient throughout and explained everything to Mum throughly. He chased up the solicitors constantly, keeping us up to date continuously. I have bought and sold many properties over the years and have never experienced the communication and levels of personalisation that we did on this occasion.... Read more

We've just bought through this agent and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
We had a difficult chain with multiple issues both above and below. The Godsells agent communicated with all buyers, vendors and solicitors to ensure that the transaction went as quickly and smoothly as possible.
We were kept informed at every stage and everything was explained to us.... Read more

My agent, Steve, was always informative, helpful and someone I could rely on, particularly when the first applicant failed to follow through. My disappointment was shortlived as he confidently predicted we would soon succeed with another buyer and he was right. The process was swift and painless. All the staff in the office were helpful and I would recommend their professionalism to anyone who needs to buy or sell.... Read more
