GoogleVery happy we chose Good Life to market our property and although it was a long journey, none of that was down to the Good Life Team.
Every call I made to the office was answered by staff, both female and male with a cheery disposition and professionalism.
Gina was a calming influence and a star in keeping us briefed and updated with any changes that arose. She also helped to navigate any difficulties in following up with, not only the buyer, but also Solicitors throughout the process.
I would highly recommend Good Life to family, friends and anyone I hear of who is thinking of selling or buying property!
Huge thanks to Gina and all at Good Life!

GoogleJust completed in the sale of my house. I HIGHLY recommend Goodlife Estate Agents! My valuation was done by Dean Harding who was extremely professional, understanding & I haven't forgot his kindness( he knows what I mean) what a nice gentleman!. I have dealt with the lovely Sarah Bernadi who has kept me updated all the way through & explained things I did not understand & gave us helpful advice. Special thanks to Alanna & a few others whose names I have forgot.( sorry!) I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism & excellent service provided. It takes the stress out of moving home when you have a great Estate Agents. I wish them all every success for the future! Thank you very much!
Satisfied client!

GoogleEstate Agents don’t always have the best rep, but Good Life were definitely the exception to the rule!
Firstly, they did what they promised to and they ran everything smoothly and hassle free, keeping everyone informed and updated. They were approachable, efficient and friendly, whoever you spoke to in the office, although we will give a special shout out to Sarah!
Thank you for all of your hard work, we will definitely use you again ♥️

GoogleHad a 5* experience with Goodlife Estate Agents, Dean came out to value, he was friendly, knowledgeable and punctual. All the girls in the office were friendly and professional when I needed to contact them. House went on the market on the Friday afternoon, viewing made for the Saturday, sold on the Monday! Can’t say better than that. Once offer accepted Gina the Manager was in contact and kept me up to date every step of the way. Price for the services given at the beginning so unexpected surprises. The whole team are great and would highly recommend.

GoogleDo not be fooled by the positive reviews, you will notice they are not from tenants.
My daughter who is a single mam living with her daughter reported mould issues to Goodlife. They sent one of their damp contractors to review the property who informed my daughter the room requires damp proofing.
The landlord (who I have personally spoke too and they have personally apologised) was informed by Dean their owner, who I have saw the messages from, that work needed doing but my daughter doesn’t seem like the type of tenant to complain so it would be cheaper to just leave it.
Fast forward 8 months and my daughter spent time in hospital with respiratory issues which they confirmed was from mould and simply because Dean thought it would be acceptable to advise the landlord not to go ahead.
My daughter managed to get out of the house without any issues and credit to the landlord who had no idea about any of this and who couldn’t be anymore apologetic but be very very wary choosing this agent and especially dealing with Dean their owner. This isn’t the only horror story I have saw regarding Dean.

After some investigation, this appears to be a completely made-up review. None of this has taken place. Who knows what their motivation is, but they’ve clearly put a lot of effort into trying to target me and make it personal. They should get a copy of this response and all I can say is that life is short and it’s better to be kind to people. Whoever you are, wherever you work, (even if it’s another agent), I hope you find some true happiness and peace in your life 🙏.

GoogleNightmare agent avoid at all costs.
I reported severe damp and mould 2 years ago which they simply replied that it’s condensation. After a back and forth for 2 years their contractor finally confirmed it was a structural defect and was in fact rising damp and mould. Due to this a child went through significant health issues due to their failings.
Even after showing the agency and their directors Steven and dean photos of the suffering the child went through they still refused to respond.
To top it off when I started a legal claim they bullied me out of it by sending someone aggressively and unannounced to intimidate me to leave the house.
Dan · 17 March 2026
Agent replied · 17 April 2026
Daniel, please refrain from making false and malicious claims. Your landlord has every right to sell his house and gave you significant notice to leave. We’re generally very sympathetic to these situations and completely understand your upset but that in no way justifies making false claims simply because you’re angry or frustrated. At the end of the day, the landlord ultimately decides what course of action to take, not the agent. We are tasked with following due process which we do correctly. You are more than welcome to take legal advice in fact we encourage you to take legal advice. That way you will have an independent person confirming that your landlord is carrying out the process correctly and in keeping with the law.

GoogleI used Good Life Homes to recently sell my mums house. From the first meeting with Dean to discuss the sale, to interactions with Gina the office manager and all of the team in the office the service has been incredible. It was a very stressful time for me, but thanks to their help the process was much easier than it could have been. Gina was great contacting buyers who had stopped communicating with their solicitor and really pushed the sale along for me. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you.

GoogleFrom the initial enquiry and up until the exchange of contracts, the team at Goodlife were exemplary in their dealings throughout the whole process. After the valuation and photographs were taken, the property was put on the market on the Friday with the first viewing appointed for that afternoon. After a second viewing on the Saturday morning, an offer was received and Gina handled the negotiation with the client, agreed a price and the property sold, all within 24 hours. We were kept fully informed of the progress of the sale right up until the completion by Gina and the girls and I can unreservedly recommend Goodlife for the sale of any property. 10/10 Well done and thank you to all at Goodlife.

GoogleA superb performance at every stage of the process of my successful sale . Careful attention to our needs from owner Dean was greatly appreciated and on going support from Gina Brown was faultless in that she worked very hard in navigating a chain of clients and ultimately secured successful completion . Gina communicated with us frequently and offered vital advice , which I believe was crucial to the success of the sale . Nothing was too much trouble to her and her reassurance greatly reduced any stress we were feeling . First class service from marketing and viewings managed beautifully. I recommend Goodlife without reservation .

GoogleJust sold our family home with goodlife and all the service we have received from start to finish has been excellent.
From the first time Dean came out to view the property he and was fully understanding of our needs. The video and photos and explanation of the property were amazing! We got so much positive feedback from lots of family and friends. Our house was sold within days and we certainly believe this was down to Dean doing an excellent set of photos and fantastic write up of our home.
Thanks must go to all his team especially Gina for being so understanding. Her communication skills were excellent. Also a shout out to the lovely Sandra and Margaret who showed us around the property and were as excited as us regarding our project!. Our son had sold his home with the company and recommended them to us and we also sold my mams house too. We would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends in the future.

GoogleI would recommend Good Life & particularly Gina, even though I would say they don't have enough staff to cover the amount of work they've got which can lead to difficulty when trying to contact them or get updates. Our buyer was directly connected to us as a result of Good Life understanding what they were looking for & pinpointing our house as a perfect fit for them, although the whole process took much longer than expected due to multiple chains collapsing this was no fault of Good Life & we did get multiple viewings & offers until we sold.

Hi Astrella, thank you so much for carrying out a review and particularly name checking Gina, which I really appreciate and will feed that back to her.
The house buying/selling process can absolutely be fraught with challenges and is rarely straightforward and this is why we would always recommend clients sell with an experienced local proven agent who can navigate through these challenges …. I hope the process didn’t age you too much and that you can now have a period of relaxation in your new home! Haha!
I certainly take your point on staff and as we’ve grown and sold many more houses than we’d originally planned, we’ve recently added to our team with 2 really great people who we think clients will like and who also share our core values of kindness and customer service.
Running a business is sometimes like shooting at a moving target and we will always keep things under review and adapt where we feel we can improve.

GoogleThe most unprofessional people I have ever dealt with.
Did an online valuation which they phoned me about on Friday, which I missed. I then phoned them four times, twice it went unanswered, the other two times I left messages, no one called me back. Next day lady phoned following up the online valuation, I explained I had called the day before but noone called me back, I was told they had been very busy. What if I had been a buyer trying to leave an offer?
I gave them a second chance and booked for Dean to come round today (Tuesday 5th August) they give a 2 hour windowd, so anytime between 12.30-2.30pm, a lot of waiting around though. Received a call at 2.24pm from the office to say Dean was running late and could appointment be rearranged. Absolutely not, will not deal with them again. Extremely unprofessional and would not recommend
