Goadsby reviews

I have known Mark Nurse at Goadsby for many years and he is an outstanding professional in the commercial property sector. Mark is incredibly knowledgeable, meticulous in his work, and someone whose advice carries real clarity and value. Recently I needed his assistance and Mark immediately made the time to see me. He went through everything carefully and in detail, explaining the situation clearly and offering thoughtful, well-informed guidance. His calm, professional approach and depth of expertise made a huge difference and brought real confidence to the process. What truly sets Mark apart is his integrity, his attention to detail, and the genuine care he brings to his work. He takes the time to understand situations properly and provides advice that is both practical and insightful. I’m extremely grateful for his support and for the time he gave to help me. Mark is a fantastic ambassador for Goadsby and a true expert in his field. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a very positive experience with Goadsby. The team were extremely professional, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. They helped us finalise our commercial space much faster than we expected, making everything smooth and stress-free. A special thank you to Mark Nurse, who was outstanding from start to finish. His professionalism, efficiency, and friendly approach made a real difference. He was always available to answer our questions and ensured everything moved forward quickly. We highly recommend Goadsby to anyone looking for a reliable and professional commercial agency.

Having just completed on two commercial properties this week I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mark Nurse for all his help and professionalism. We have now been dealing with Mark and Ian as well as Laura for many years and have always had a super efficient service. Goadsbys are by far the best commercial agents in the area and I have no hesitation in recommending them for any type of commercial work

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.

I had a very positive experience with Goadsby Commercial with the sale of my retail business in a very difficult market. Mark Nurse was very helpful throughout the whole process in closing the deal on the sale which I was 100% happy. I would highly recommend them if you have a business for sale based upon my experience.

House sale in Southampton

Goadsby, and in particular Rob, were brilliant throughout our house sale in Southampton. We'd been on the market with another estate agent for a few months and not got anywhere with them. We switched to Goadsby and immediately got several offers.

Our experience with Goadsby Commercial Estate Agents has been excellent. The process of selling our commercial property has gone smoothly and the service has been faultless from Jake and Joe. Thank you for your positivity throughout.

Very disappointing experience. I made it clear which properties I wanted to move forward with, nothing seemed to happen unless I chased repeatedly. I somehow managed to contact the Landlords through another agenc and found out that They werent even informed. For a commercial property agency, basic communication and follow-through shouldn’t be optional. Unfortunately, the service felt disorganised and indifferent, and I was left with no confidence that anything was being handled properly. I wouldn’t use them again or recommend them to others.

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.

A big thank you to Mark Nurse who helped me sell my restaurant in Bournemouth. The transaction went on very smoothly and in a short time we exchanged and completed with no problems at all. He was always there when we needed to discuss anything with him, giving us advice all the time. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in buying a commercial unit in Bournemouth

Ian Palmer went over and beyond any other estate agent I have ever had dealings with over previous years, he assisted with all aspects of problems that did arise along the way I'm sure if it was left to the solicitors, it would have all collapsed If any of you chose this company to deal with , Ask for Ian Palmer , Thank you again for all the help and assistance with out you I'm sure, my property would still be floating on the open market waiting to be sold With high Regards Mrs Rogers

Many thanks to Ian Palmer and the team at Goadsby. We purchased our Guest house business twenty five years ago and Ian was our agent then. Selling the business couldn't have been easier. Amazing what twenty five years does with technology and speeding up the process of selling! Solicitors are still a little on the slow side still, but Goadsby were great at chasing things up on our behalf. Many thanks for a painless and successful transaction.

Would highly recommended Goadsby Wareham Branch

Would happily recommended Goadsby, we were really pleased with the service provided by Gavin and his team. They were always professional, friendly and extremely efficient, responding to communication quickly and going above and beyond to provide a smooth sale. Gavin always keep us up to date, and explained anything we needed to do to speed things up especially when it came to the solicitors. Many thanks to team Goadsby!

Patient and professional - Flat purchase

I bought a flat through Goadsby , Weymouth. Both solicitors were an absolute nightmare, taking ages to do things or even refusing to act on time. I had never bought a leasehold property and was guided by them all the way. Mark Godfree managed me, the vendor and the solicitors with dogged persistence, patience and courtesy, even when emotions ran high. I wasn't even the client, but was kept informed daily towards the end. If I have to sell my home I will definitely go to the Goadsby team.

Bought a large commercial property from Goadsbys Commercial Bournemouth and dealt with Mark Nurse and an absolute delight, great communication throughout the whole process and when a couple of small issues came up with the purchase, like they always do, Mark was on hand to mediate which concluded by the transaction being completed on time and all as agreed, very happy with the whole service provided and would highly recommend them!

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.

Goadsby At Ferndown - Worst expetience when you end contract

The company is not friendly and their job end the moment tenancy agreement is signed. No collaboration or support. Especially the Ferndown branch! Never go them. There is no patience to listen to a problem statement and always delayed response. I have formally written to Deposit Scheme to get my deposit back while the assocaites just push back on every request to even get the least of information! Never go to them if you want peaceful life within or life after tenancy in gettin own money back or have an idea about the end!

Use an alternative agent if you want to sell your property in Bournemouth

A very disappointing experience I'm afraid and I would not recommend Goadsby if you are looking to sell your property in Bournemouth. There was very little engagement, enthusiasm, pro-activity or feedback from day one. A very small number of viewings and no effort to keep me updated on viewings or discussions with potential buyers. One offer was accepted but Goadbsy never demonstrated any commitment to progressing the sale, resolving the key issues or addressing any of the enquiries that were raised by the potential buyers. This meant a lost sale and a £2,000 solicitors fee. Any discussions with my contacts at Goadsby always focused on the easy option of quick price reductions as opposed to marketing opportunities they could put in place to drive viewings and footfall. Additional and improved photographs were discussed but again took 3 weeks to implement. Too many lost opportunities at a time when challenging conditions require a pro-active, knowledgeable and determined agent. I'm more than happy to discuss this feedback with anybody from the Goadbsy senior management team in more detail if they would like to call me but I doubt this will happen. Most definitely not to be recommended. Find another agent.
