We’ve used Goadsby on several occasions to sell our businesses and have also purchased through them in the past. Over the years, we’ve built a strong relationship with Mr Nurse, who has been consistently professional, supportive, and reliable. I can’t fault Goadsby as an agent, and whenever I’m considering a new business opportunity, Mr Nurse is always my first point of contact.

We had a fantastic experience with Goadsby Verwood selling our home. The whole team were professional from start to finish and made what can be a stressful process feel so much smoother. Their communication was absolutely brilliant, we were always kept informed and updated, which gave us real peace of mind. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they were always on hand to answer questions and offer guidance. They also worked incredibly hard to push things forward so we could meet the date we needed, which we really appreciated. It genuinely felt like a team effort, and their coordination behind the scenes clearly made a difference. A huge thank you to everyone at Goadsby Verwood for all your hard work, we’re so grateful for your support in getting our sale over the line!

Would absolutely recommend Goadsby in Verwood. Ali and her team were very proactive and great and keeping us updated. Things with the chain became difficult around exchange and completion and Goadsby did everything in their power to help move things forward and keep lines of communication open.

Goadsby Broadstone managed the recent sale of our property. Their communication was second to none, keeping all parties updated throughout. Sophie went above and beyond to ensure the process was as seamless as possible. Thank you to an amazing team!

My dad has just exchanged on a property he has bought through Goadsby. Tommy kept us up to date throughout and when we suffered a loss during the process, Tommy explained this to the sellers and kept the chain in place despite the inevitable delay it meant. As buyers we found the process professional and would look to use Goadsby if we were ever selling

DON’T TRUST GOADSBY ESTATE AGENT (unless you have shares in the Co.)

DO NOT TRUST GOADSBY ESTATE AGENTS, WIMBORNE. THEY WILL FLEECE YOU for EVERY PENNY & THEIR Customer Service IS TERRIBLE. MAKE SURE GOADSBY PUTs ANY OFFER TO reduce their % FEE IN WRITING because THEY’LL LIE LATER ON! BE AWARE OF GOADSBY. Make sure you speak to OTHER ESTATE AGENTS WHO WILL CHARGE 0.6% (average) - to 1% (instead of 1.5%+). GOADSBY ESTATE AGENTS ARR SLY. They will BE DESPERATE FOR YOU TO SIGN UP WHEN THEY FIRST ARRIVE. THEIR CHARGING FEE % (which they WILL NOT POINT OUT TO YOU AT ANY STAGE) - APPEARS at the BOTTOM of the PAGE (page 1, I think) - JUST ABOVE WHERE you WRITE & SIGN YOUR NAME . TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE YOUR GETTING A DEAL, YOU WILL SEE ‘2.5%’, WHICH IS STRUCK THROUGH, & ‘1.5% is WRITTEN NEXT TO IT! SLY hey? hmm, WHAT A DEAL. That 0.5% has just COST YOU A TIDY WEDGE OF CASH (£12,750 INSTEAD OF £8,500). That’s ONLY £4250.00 in GOADSBY’s POCKET (BASED on selling a WIMBORNE house for £850,000. This particularly SLY SNIDE SALES TECHNIQUE MAKES YOU THINK YOU’ve SAVED MONEY COURTESY OF GOADSBY ESTATE AGENTS, who UNSELFISHLY HAVE ROBBED THEMSELVES (even before meeting you) - OF A WHOLE 1% by DROPPING FROM A LAUGHABLE 2.5% down to a MASSIVELY OVERCHARGED 1.5%! Whoop-whoop. Robert

We had a great experience viewing properties with Goadsby (although we ultimately ended up buying a property sold through another local estate agent). Tommy was very professional, patient and lovely to work with. I recommend contacting Goadsby if you’re looking for a house in Bridport!

This team are exceptional! From start of finish Ali, Sue and team have been supportive and have gone above and beyond to make our sale progress. From an initial honest meeting and perfect pictures, to selling in 7 days, and when it got tough being on the end of the phone and email with fast responses and support. I have already recommended to many but if you are looking for an estate agent that cares- look no further!

Not sure What to say really. How bad Can any commercial estate agents be managed. Called ELEVEN times to arrange to view premises but no one got back to me. Those phones must be burner ones since it never gets picked up.

Good evening Kara. I can only apologise. Would you be willing to tell me the number you have been calling ? I can then work out which department that needs to get your viewing booked in. paul.stewart@goadsby.com Apologies once again.

We bought our bungalow in Verwood through Goadsby and were very pleased with the level of service received. Charlotte handled all our transactions and was extremely professional, helpful and kept us updated. She assisted with a list of trades who could assist with our renovation project. Alison, Harrison and Sue were very helpful when Charlotte was not available. We would highly recommend Goadsby Verwood.

We recently purchased a property through Goadsby and found they were efficient, knowledgable and communicated well. We fell in love with the house on first viewing and had to wait a while until our property went up for sale. But Goadsby kept us well informed of the status of the house throughout. Alison helped us throughout and was very friendly but whenever we called any of the team in Verwood they were all very helpful.

Sophie helped us to sell my fathers property. She was professional throughout. She always answered our questions of which there were many, and came back to us swiftly. She went above and way beyond chasing the chain. Without her diligence nothing would have moved swiftly. In the final stretch between exchange and completion she was an absolute superstar.

Zero respect for clients. Repeatedly failed to answer phone calls and emails, and never followed up on properties despite clear expressions of interest. Communication is virtually non-existent, and there is no sense of professionalism or accountability. As a client, you expect basic courtesy and responsiveness, neither were provided. Experiences like this are exactly why the commercial property sector gets a bad reputation. Unfortunately, this agency operates more like a cowboy outfit than a professional service. Would not recommend.

Highly Recommended! We recently bought our home with the help of Jake from Goadsby, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first viewing to completion day, Jake was consistently helpful, responsive, and genuinely supportive. He kept us updated at every step, explained everything clearly, and made the whole process feel far less stressful than we expected. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but with Jake it all felt smooth and well-managed. Thank you, Jake, for guiding us through the entire journey, we truly appreciate your hard work!
