FacebookBig thanks to Good Life Homes for their fantastic service selling my father's home. Gina is a gem! So helpful, friendly and informed. She was always just a phone call away and made sure we were kept up to date with all the stages of the sale. 5*

GoogleI have to be brutally honest I found selling my house a really tough emotional decision, as I believe most people do...but Dene and the 'Good Life' team totally held my hand throughout the whole process from beginning to end. They totally over delivered..I couldn't recommend a business more ..exceptional service , in addition to an awesome cost effective pricing structure.
Don't look anywhere else, you wont be disappointed.
Thank You so much for your incredible support!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleThis Agent failed to give us feedback from a vendor. Left us waiting for two days. When I phoned up and complained that they hadnt got back to me they just stated ""a message was left" on VMX . This is not true and not even an apology forthcoming. Certainly would never place any sale in their hands . Unprofessional , but maybe thats why the house in question is still for sale after six months .NegativeQuality, Professionalism

Hi AB - I did investigate this situation and pulled telephone records and system files to check what had happened. Unfortunately, we take our instructions from the seller and they were quite clear to us that they didn’t want to carry out any more viewings. A voicemail was left on your phone and as your message above pointed out, we spoke to you 2 days later.
I’m sorry that you felt we didn’t meet your expectations on this occasion and hope that you’ve managed to find a home to buy and it was eventually a more positive experience. I send my very best wishes to you, kind regards,
Dean

GoogleI was with two other estate agents previous to using good life and hardly got any viewings. My house was sold with Good Life in a matter of months. The communication was excellent, I was kept up to date all the way through and answered all of my questions. Very happy!

FacebookRecently had a fantastic experience with goodlife on the sale of my previous home and purchase of my new little dream home. From start to finish the process was made soo easy & ran smoothly. I was kept constantly up to date of the process with both properties, and every member of the team was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Would recommend goodlife and their services to everyone! ☺️👍🏼🏠🔑

GoogleCheap in all ways!!..Staff lack skills and poor communication.
Other people views/feedback below are in line with mine....stay away from it both Landlord and tenants...unless you want to loose money!
Owner of the business clearly either haven't got no clue of the issues or have no intention of do anything as he hasn't taken any of the commments onboard provided below......at the end of the day the staff is as good/bad as their leader!
Sman · 5 July 2022
Agent replied · 5 July 2023
Hi Smam, I can assure you that as a successful local business it’s very important to me to listen very carefully to the views of the people we interact with but it’s not always possible to tell them what they want to hear. An agent/landlord/tenant relationship is governed by legal agreements and statutory law. In the cases of deposits, or returns of deposits, these are determined by an independent protection scheme and is administered in a fair and transparent manner by the scheme (the scheme we use is The Deposit Protection Scheme - a national authorised scheme).
Please remember that as an agent of the landlord we are acting FOR the landlord and for the protection of his/her property. Thankfully the great majority of our tenancies (and we manage hundreds) go very smoothly with mutual respect shown by tenants and landlords to ensure a satisfactory tenancy experience for everyone. I make no apology, however, that on the very rare occasions when tenants leave properties unclean, damaged or with rubbish remaining, we will take action on behalf of the landlord and in keeping with due legal process, to recover monies from the deposit to compensate the landlord and also to ensure the property is tidy and clean ready for the next occupant.
If you’d like to discuss any specific instances where you feel we can improve based on your own experience I’d be happy to discuss the matters with you personally and will be happy to call you if you provide your number to my office.
Kind regards,
Dean Harding

GoogleCalled up on a Monday to organise a viewing. Was told they'd call back as they had to schedule viewings with the seller.
Didn't hear anything for two days. Called again to chase up, only to be told they'd get back to me asap.
The following Monday I called again. Apparently an offer was accepted. coincidentally last Monday, when I tried to originally organise the viewing.
Absolute joke of agent.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism

Hi James - I’m really sorry to hear of your experience with us. It’s routine for us to register clients details on first contact with our office whilst we still have you on the telephone ie name/address/contact details and parameters for what you’re searching for but on checking we have no record of any contact with you at all. It may be this has slipped through the net or your details haven’t been saved y the system but please accept my apologies and please don’t let this put you off searching for properties.
