Customer Testimonials

The team at Godsells in Southbourne have been truly exceptional! We’ve just navigated a really tricky chain situation, and without their help (Stuart in particular) I can’t imagine that we would have ever managed to move! From the moment they put our house on the market to the moment of completion, we really can’t fault them. Excellent communication and a personal touch from a fantastic local company. Nothing but praise and high commendations for the whole team! I should add that Rebecca and Sam were excellent and attentive with viewings and giving us feedback as well as keeping us updated with progress! The rest of the office staff are always so polite and helpful on the phone too!
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 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.
Very happy with the professional, friendly and efficient service from everyone at Godsells. Special thanks to Steve for all his help with managing our sale. We would highly recommend Godsells to anyone looking to buy, sell or lease a property in the Christchurch area.
After a terrible experience with another local Christchurch company, who had my property for sale for 20 weeks and only materialised one serious offer at way less than asking, I was hesitant about estate agents. However, within a week of trusting Alastair in the Christchurch office, we had 3 offers at asking and above. Thank you, Alastair for your professionalism and help all along the journey.
Excellent customer service, Rebecca and Stuart were fantastic to deal with. The communication throughout the process of selling my flat through them has been outstanding. Very satisfied customer!!
A big thanks to Stuart and Rebecca and of course, the rest of the team for selling my flat. What started as a nightmare from the 1st and 2nd buyers pulling out ended up with a 3rd buyer who was somewhat awkward in some areas!! Stuart and Rebecca pushed hard and fought my corner, chasing buyers, solicitors and the buyers themselves throughout and kept me informed of every little detail even though I’m on the other side of the world!! A huge thanks to Godsell's in Southbourne. I am very impressed with their experience and professionalism. Will be using again without hesitation.
From our first dealings with Richard Godsell, especially Alastair and Steve, we have been so impressed! They have gone above and beyond to help us with first, finding a property to buy, then all the way through, they could not have been more helpful. Chasing solicitors and all parties involved, to push the sale through in the time scale we needed! I can not recommend them highly enough as estate agents, but also great guys too! Thank you for everything……even the flowers that have just arrived, amazing!
Excellent personal service from Stuart. Kept us informed and managed the tricky negotiations with the purchasers. ...and moved things on very quickly!
Bought our home through Steve at Godsells and we were really happy with the advice and support we received. Nothing was too much trouble and Steve was great at helping us with a difficult chain too. Thank you so much for finding us our dream home!
A massive thank you to all at Richard Godsell Christchurch. Highly recommended!! Not only for your patience with us over the last 8 months, but for your guidance and advice throughout. Then to top it off, the beautiful flowers that turned up this morning. A lovely touch to finalise our sale and purchase with you. Thank you!
