EXCELLENT Based on 40 reviews Posted on Google gary aldenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had tried a few estate agents and all they wanted us to do was drop the price when the house didn't sell 😭 we were reluctant to do that so changed to James Goodchild on a recommendation ,for us he was a positive move from the start he never panicked and said drop the price but understood the market well and it's foibles ,that was experience . We achieved a sale near to asking price and we are delighted, he gave us sound advice ,this has facilitated us to buy our dream home . We would thoroughly recommend James Goodchild and his team.Posted on Google Ian AndersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We chose Goodchild to sell our property at a time when the market was fairly quiet, and the results were excellent. They organised an open day on the Saturday, followed by a week of carefully managed viewings — two per day with pre-qualified buyers — finishing the following Friday. Full and final bids were invited the next Monday, and the house was sold by Tuesday. Not only did Goodchild achieve a considerably higher price than the asking figure, but they also secured multiple offers at that level and handled the whole process in a calm, professional and well-organised way. We couldn’t have asked for more from an estate agent. A big thank you to the Goodchild team — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to market their property and achieve the best possible result.Posted on Google Samantha PrescottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James came out to do the initial valuation and I was really pleased and delighted with the viewing process - got an offer on every single viewing he conducted. Excellent professionalism for him and the whole team to complete the sale. They maintained constant communication and very much listened to my needs during the process. Would 100% use Goodchild again.Posted on Google Saghi ZarbafiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Goodchild Estate Agents provided a really stress free Estate Agent experience with their warm and friendly and professional approach and many many years of experience that James and his team have between them. In a difficult market, they sold my property not once but twice after my first buyer changed her mind. Kerri who runs the office, was great at keeping me in the loop on everything and being the conduit between my buyers, me and the solicitors. It wasn't the quickest of chains as quite a big one but we got there with minimal fuss and all the negotiating that happens in these sales was handled beautifully by James.Posted on Google Sam DragunasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience selling with Goodchilds. Fantastic service from start to finish. They massively stepped up and got us a sale after a bad experience with previous estate agents. Highly recommendPosted on Google Micky HillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Goodchild Estate Agents. They valued my house and guided me through the process professionally to put it on the market. I was kept fully up to date with viewing appointments and with feedback from the viewings. They responded to any questions I had. The whole team are friendly, polite and very approachable. James Goodchild personally carries out all the viewings and is truly a great chap.Posted on Google georgeyroseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James and the team were fantastic, we’d been with another agent for a while and our house wasn’t selling. We decided to go with Goodchild as James was honest and upfront about everything, he assured me he would sell our house and within a few months we had an offer and got the asking price! Feedback after viewings was constructive and he was very easy to communicate with, updating us regularly. Would highly advise using Goodchild, they won’t disappointPosted on Google Cherry Playz HillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Goodchild Estate Agents to anybody. They are professional, friendly, helpful and they kept me informed.Posted on Google Jonathan GallichanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first time we spoke to James, we knew we were in good hands. His knowledge in all things property related is extensive. The whole process was smooth and pain-free; from advising us on how best to prepare the house for photos, to personally conducting all the viewings himself, to keeping us informed throughout. He pitched it perfectly to sell at the best price, and as an added bonus helped us find our dream home! James and his team were fantastic and we would not hesitate to use again. Highly recommend this local business!Posted on Google Rita LeadbeaterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Really great communication accessible and responsive to messages. Sensitive to changing circumstances. Great knowledge of local area.
Lovely estate agents. Great team. Sold the house!! Thoroughly recommend them!
So delighted with how our purchase went. It was incredibly quick and everyone went out of their way to keep us informed and make sure everything went smoothly. Would definitely recommend Goodchild Estate Agents
I can highly recommend Goodchild estate agents. From the start of the process until the end, the professionalism from the whole team was exemplary. I would recommend and I would use Goodchild’s again if the need arose.
Although Goodchild was our seller’s estate agent, they were extremely helpful and worked above and beyond to help us facilitate our move. If it wasn’t for their expertise and patience I don’t think it would have happened. Thanks to James and Vicky in particular and to all the team at Goodchild’s.
We recently sold our house with Goodchild and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the very first meeting, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us achieve the best outcome. James and the team deliver a personal service, always highly attentive and available. They helped us navigate some stormy waters and get our sale and purchase over the line against a tight deadline.
Thanks to their expertise and dedication, we had multiple strong offers and sold for a great price. We felt supported every step of the way and are truly grateful for their hard work. If you’re thinking of selling your home, we wholeheartedly recommend!
Goodchild estate agents gave a very thorough and professional service from beginning to end. The marketing of the property started with well written info about the house, an asking price pitched at just the right point, and great photos. James secured many viewings and conducted careful and considered negotiations with potential purchasers, resulting in a seamless sale. I couldn’t have asked for a better result.
James and his team especially Vickie have provided a stellar service throughout. They go the extra mile without doubt. James has a wealth of experience and while I am experienced in the legal side of the process it has been his expertise that has brought my sale to a very happy conclusion. James sold me a house in 1996, I then sold that house with him in 2015 and bought this one and have now sold this with him. I particularly like the fact that James’s business is independent and far more client focused than other corporate minded so-called independent agents. I cannot rate or recommend them highly enough.
We switched agents to Goodchild after a slow 3 months with another agent. James was confident that he would get our house sold for the full guide price and he delivered. Unfortunately, our sale fell through after a number of months, just before Christmas. We were considering pulling the house from the market but James said he had other buyers and he delivered again. Our house sale completed with the new buyers very quickly and for full guide price. James brings enormous confidence and energy to the sale process. He’s resilient and ultimately delivers on his promises. We really appreciated the approach he took to communicating with us and the support provided by his team. I have already recommended James to neighbours and would trust him again. He’s a great guy who works hard for his clients. Thank you James.
