Proud to Think, Act and Be Different

We genuinely strive to be the very best and are often told that we don’t come across as, or act like, any other Estate Agent. At Goodman & Lilley we take great pride in being different and work hard to remain one step ahead, at every stage of your move, whether you’re selling, purchasing or renting through us.

Here's what they're saying about us...

I just wanted to say how impressed I have been with the whole team at Goodman & Lilley. A big thank you especially to Richard, Chris and Lucy. I felt that they really cared. I am glad I went with my gut instinct when choosing them. Richard valued my house and didin't just rely on a zoopa valuation like the other estate agents. Chris advised me of potenetial problems there could be for the flat I am buying, so not just trying to make a sale but making sure it was the best move for me. Lucy keeping me updated once the sale was progressing. I finally exchenged today. Thanks Goodman & Lilley

Mrs W October 2020

Dear Mandy and Lucy, Blimey - that was not easy!Thanks so much for all your hard work over the last six months. Your support and professionalism has really got us through this - so much appreciated. So good to have such an excellent and local Estate Agents like Goodman & Lilley on our doorstep. Hopefully the moving, renovations and carpeting will be the easy part in all of this…....Kind regards.

MR M

We just recent purchased a stunning new build in Portishead. The agent concerned Sascha from the Shirehampton branch at our first viewing was so helpful in securing our offer there and then without further viewings. She was always available to answer and assist on all issues right up until completion. Her relationship with the developer enabled us to sort all building consent issues quickly It is thanks to her and Landhaven developments we have such an outstanding high quality home to live in.

Mr C

“The service received from Sasha at Goodman Lilley was excellent. If it wasn’t for her we wouldn't be living in our dream home! From finding us the property, Sascha had our best interests at heart and helped and supported us along what could have been a much more stressful journey. Thank you Sascha, there’s always a cup of tea for you if you’re passing!”Like your end of year school report I’m sure!!

Mr & Mrs C

I am writing to express my thanks to the staff at your Portishead office for selling my house. They have achieved in months what two other estate agents in the high st failed to do over two and a half years. Throughout this process we were pleased to experience courtesy and professionalism. We were impressed with the selection of potential buyers, always going for suitability rather than numbers thus avoiding wasting time and resources and enhacing the probablility of success.Special mention to Mandy Bushell who was instrumental for us engaging Goodman & Lilley and who set in motion the initial processes which led to the final success. Once again, my compliments and my gratitude for a job very well done.

MR P

Thank you so much Paula and all of the Goodman Lilley team for all of your hard work, determination and excellent estate agency skills you provided for our sale. Paula couldn’t of worked any harder in getting us moved and is one of the most diligent, committed and kindest Individuals I have ever met. Her amazing sales knowledge combined with her genuine and charismatic nature provides a great asset to Goodman Lilley. Every aspect of our sale you handled with true precision. There is no better estate agent and no better estate agency in Portishead!Thank you Paula and the Goodman Lilley team. Your kind handling of our sale will never be forgotten.Thank you again for everything xxx

MRS C

Just wanted to let you know, you have been one of the most professional agents I have dealt with in Bristol.

MR M

Once again I really appreciate your assistance and your clarity. It has made the process easy for me to be able to fit communicating around my working hours.

MS M

I have recently purchased a new apartment in Portishead and the service and support given by Sascha Garcia at Goodman and lilley was excellent. I am also selling a property in Clevedon and Paula Challenger has also been outstanding in her support and attention to detail. A great Estate agency with real people that care!

MR D

Yesterday we checked in our new tenant and we wanted to say thank you. At every step of the process you have both been extremely helpful, efficient and we really appreciate the professional service we have received. We were very pleased to hear our new tenant say that he had received excellent service during the process too. We are truly grateful as in our experience it is very difficult to find an agent who provides such good quality support when letting - thank you for everything - we wish you covered other areas so that we could use you for our other properties in other parts of the country!

MR & MRS B

May I take this opportunity of thanking Alex and team for excellent service. Very professional!

MRS H

Thanks Lucy. Thanks for your excellent communication along the way.

MISS W

Thanks Lucy. The worst thing here is getting rid of so much of your home when you downsize. I still think I am taking too much. I keep looking at all my stuff thinking this is never going to fit in. But I will give it a good try. I can't thank you enough for all your help with this sale. I know it has been a nightmare for you. I still can't believe that it is actually happening. Only 6 more nights in my lovely house and then a new start. Thank you so much once again. With best wishes

MRS R

I feel like I now know almost everyone in the team. Thank you for all you have done to get this sale through so swiftly especially as we are on the cusp of such a challenging time in politics. I am sad to see the property go but also so relieved that we will soon no longer need to worry about it particularly as we are no longer living in the area. As some of you know it has been a tough couple of years for the family - thank you for being so supportive and professional throughout, it really means a lot. Hopefully, all will go as planned next week. Best wishes

MR & MRS B

Dear Alex, I am afraid that I haven't a great deal to contribute to your survey, as I have found your management service excellent and I know that as a team you are very helpful and approachable. So, thank you for looking after the property so well, and I am very happy to continue with the arrangement. Congratulations to you all. Many thanks, Irene.

MRS P

Claire/James/Alex - I would just like to say thank you to you and your team, it’s been a breath of fresh air to deal with you guys. I have been through lets with multiple companies and it’s generally a nightmare, it’s very nice to deal with an efficient company and efficient people. Mr R

MR R

Throughout a long and protracted sale Teresa and her team kept us informed on regular basis. Their service was professional, courteous and efficient. We would not hesitate to recommend them to any of our friends, acquaintances and family. Both my husband and myself consider they exceeded their role of an estate agent.

MRS G

Excellent service from Theresa and the team who went above and beyond to assist with the sale of my property.

MS C

An impeccable service from all of the team at Goodman & Lilley. 5 star worthy. Special thanks to Paula and Lucy; for their tireless work during my house purchase. Great communication, very thorough - and always helpful. Would certainly recommend.

MR L

Excellent service in dealing with the sale of my late mothers property. Communication was first class which was important as I live a couple of hundred miles away. I felt involved and in control even though they did all the "heavy lifting" throughout the process. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Mr R

Thank you so much for all the support through our move. Much appreciated Especially Chris Stribling’s help especially in the final weeks of our move. Highly highly recommended

MR B

I cannot fault Chris, Mandy and the team- a refreshing experience to find such a professional estate agent service. Communication was genuine, efficient and thorough, and nothing was too much trouble. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

MS T

MR L

Chris Stribling and the crew are a fantastic team. From the start of sale to completion, they made the whole process seamless. Very supportive and professional; can't fault them! Would recommend them wholeheartedly. Thanks guys xx 1

MS M

MR L

Friendly and helpful service. Adam, Sophie and Theresa were a joy to deal with.

MR M

Excellent service, fees were fixed on no sale no fee basis. Theresa and her team were always on hand to answer any queries and nothing was any trouble . would highly recommend Goodman and Lilley

MR P

Super friendly team who go out of their way to help. Couldnt ask for a more engaged team to support your house sale and purchase process. Well done G&L.

MRS M

Excellent staff and service, would highly recommend. Head and shoulders above the rest!

MISS B

Friendly and helpful service. Adam, Sophie and Theresa were a joy to deal with.

MR M

Excellent service fees were fixed on no sale no fee basis. Teresa and her team were always on hand to answer any queries and nothing was any trouble . Would highly recommend Goodman and Lilley.

MR P

I had a very positive experience with Andrew Sawyer, estate agent for goodman & Lilley who was an extremely attentive agent in our purchase. He handled the chain and sale in a very friendly, efficient and professional manner whilst managing to help us negotiate a fair deal through a difficult process and timeline. He is highly recommended as an agent and ensures the Company has a great reputation, not always the experience of purchasers with many other agencies.

Miss J

We principally dealt with Adele, her and the team did a fantastic job selling our flat in Clifton. At times during the sale the chain got quite complicated, but they were incredibly professional and resourceful in steering us through. We would definitely recommend Adele and Goodman & Lilley to others.

MISS C

During a very stressful sale Adele and the team did a great job of holding everything together and reassuring us all the way. Adele not only found our buyers and convinced them of the potential in our property, but ultimately found new buyers for their house when the chain was broken months into the process. I would recommend Adele to anyone looking to sell or buy a property. Adele's experience and vision was crucial for us. Top service.

MR M

Miss M

We recently bought our dream home through Goodman & Lilley and they were brilliant. In particular Adele Baker who found the house for us and made a very bumpy purchase process as painless and effortless for us as possible. She was always available when we needed to contact her and made many useful recommendations along the way. She was also really efficient and knowledgeable which made us feel more assured. Fantastic estate agent overall.

Mr & Mrs S

After trying 2 other agents last year, Goodman and Lilley not only found me a buyer but also a place to buy, the whole process has been very simple and I've been kept well informed at each stage. Thank you to everyone in the Henleaze branch

Mr R

Goodman & Lilley have to be the most friendly and helpful estate agents that we have ever come across. We sold our house with dual agents G&L being one of them. The offer we accepted was through the other agents but the whole thing went totally wrong (thanks to the other estate agents). When G&L found out they did everything they could to help us, their help stopped the whole sale falling apart. Goodman and Lilley are an example to their profession, they really do care about their customer and we can’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you to all the staff there ????

Mr & Mrs C

"Wanted to say thanks for everything. Also to say how amazing Paula was. Went over and beyond to get it sorted".

Mr R

I would especially like to thank Lucy. She did the extra mile in a very stressful situation, yet always with a smile and professionalism.

Ms D

Thank you to all the staff we have spoken to. Everyone has been helpful and friendly.

Ms R

Thank you so much for all your hard work in helping me purchase my first flat, I am not sure it would have happened without you!

Miss H

Both Lucy and Andy acted very professionally at all times during our purchase. They were always on the ball, knew what was happening at all times and were always able to reply to our queries or get an answer asap.

Mr and Mrs T

I really want to say a big thank you to Lucy your after sales queen! She has been a tremendous support in getting this house sale over the line.

Mr and Mrs G.

Your team have been so helpful from the very beginning and I’m confident that we wouldn’t have had so much support from another agency.

Mr and Mrs G.

It’s been a joy working with you all - you're team have been brilliant throughout, so thank you to everyone involved with my house sale.

Ms B

Goodman & Lilley have been amazing! We've both been incredibly impressed at your constant professionalism & how hard you have all worked throughout the sales journey, thank you.

Mr & Mrs D

The professionalism and determination of Alex, Jack and Craig has been excellent in selling our home. You’ve constantly kept in touch and your innovative approach and willingness to go the extra mile have been exceptional. Thank you!

Mr W

We really appreciated all of your help, ideas and comments...you really went above and beyond, thank you!

Mr& Mrs T

Just perfect - thank you to all of your lettings team for the smooth process of letting our property

Ms J

Thanks again for all the help with our move. We love our new house and felt at home within a couple of days! We still wouldn’t be in there without your sales progression help, so thank you!

Ms O

Thank you to both the Lettings and Sales teams of Goodman & Lilley. Our lettings experience is a complete contrast to a recent experience with another local lettings agency - it really felt like Sarah and Jacquie cared about the outcome. We’ve also had a very painless and successful house sale with you, so I shall definitely be recommending both teams to anyone considering renting or selling.

Dr R

A very BIG thank you for all your help and understanding regarding the letting of our Henleaze property - you have been amazing...!!

Ms S

Thank you for the very professional way you carried out the sale of my Mother's property. Your attitude and enthusiasm was greatly appreciated as were the constant updates throughout.

Mr H

Please send all the team my thanks for the successful letting of our Portishead property.

Mr R

A big thank you for all the help with the sale of our property - from the first meeting, through to the sale negotiations and all the guidance with the legal aspects… selling a property isn’t something we do that often. Everything has been most appreciated and would happily recommend Goodman & Lilley to anyone thinking about a property sale!

Ms O

We've been delighted with the professional and personal service we have received from you all - the entire period from your valuation, instruction, advertising, open day, other viewings, consideration of several offers, and agreement of sale was 19 days... we could not have asked for more!

Mr O

You were pro-active, efficient and professional. As a result we agreed the sale of our house within the required timescale to allow us to be in a strong position to purchase our next home, thank you!

Mr & Mrs W

We found you were easily the most friendly and approachable lettings agent we've come across

Ms I

I can't thank Claire and Jacquie in Lettings enough for their efficiency. They absolutely took the stress away from my situation during troubled times following a house fire and assisted in finding me alternative rental accommodation.

Mr G

No wonder you are award winners!! This is the second time we’ve used you to sell our home - the best in Portishead by a mile; always professional, helpful and a great team who communicate with each other and their clients. Highly recommended.

Ms W

A really big THANK YOU for all the extra effort you put in to secure the sale of the flat. Your after sales customer service was excellent! It was a very bumpy road at times but you were always on the ball and at the most stressful times in the process that was a comfort to us.

Miss L

What a journey - we wouldn't have wanted to go through what we have without you all behind us! Everyone has pushed our cause and given great advice and support when we needed it. We truly wouldn't be where we are without all the invaluable input we've had from you - you've enabled us to realise our dreams and we just couldn't be happier in our new home.

Mr & Mrs H

Thank you Lucy once again for your tenacity in helping us exchange - we really value your professionalism and friendly communication

Mr & Mrs H

Excellent estate agents... extremely conscientious, courteous and surpassed all expectations with the best price achieved. You went beyond the normal call of duty to sell my property and provided sound advice, so thank you. I'm extremely pleased to have chosen Goodman & Lilley.

Mr W

Thank you for being so brilliant! It's been a pleasure working with you on our property rental - you've taken the stress away from us both with your managed let. Superstars!

Mr & Mrs B

Thank you for everything! Goodman & Lilley Lettings have been a breath of fresh air to deal with in comparison to most other agencies. I'll definitely be recommending your services on the back of my experience.

Mr O

A big thank you for all your help with our move. Of all the solicitors and agents involved, Lucy was the one person I was always able to get hold of. We'll remember the service we received from you and will certainly use Goodman & Lilley again in the future!

Mr & Mrs C

Goodman & Lilley were excellent from the moment they came to my property. I got very personal care throughout the process and it truly felt like they were working for me, the seller, rather than anyone else. I would fully recommend Guy and his team to any person considering selling their home.

Mr A

A big thank you to you and all your team at Goodman & Lilley Portishead for doing such a great job selling my Dad’s house.

Mr H

Getting to exchange has been no small task and it has relied entirely on Lucy single-handedly and tenaciously chasing the sale; something she has done at all times with the utmost professionalism... . she conveyed kindness, patience and determination to 'get the job done' and is a credit to your team.

Ms L

‘By far the best agent in Portishead - your enthusiasm and consistent contact was greatly appreciated’

Ms I

Since May we have been dealing with your Portishead Office and would like to say how professional and courteous both Jack and Lucy have been. Throughout this time Lucy has kept us informed at all times well and beyond her normal duties. We would like to take this opportunity of thanking them for all their efforts and look forward to dealing with them again soon.

Mr & Mrs C

A BIG thank you...We would both like to thank you so much for your help, advice and determination in the sale of our property. You've done an excellent job and we certainly will be recommending you!

Mr & Mrs W

It was a real pleasure to have someone who was professional, friendly and honest to deal with, and who kept us informed throughout the whole process, through the sale of our apartment.

Mr & Mrs W

I think you have all been involved in the sale & onward purchase of our home over the last few months, in some way or another and I just wanted to say a very big thank you for all your hard work.

Ms M

Thank you to the entire Goodman & Lilley team for all your help, support and professionalism – your efforts are all very much appreciated.

Ms W

You have been complete stars – without your dedication, we would have been lost. Thank you so much for everything you have done

Mr & Mrs K

I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say that I have registered with every estate agent in Portishead today and I can honestly say that you and your team are the friendliest and most helpful! Non pushy and genuine. It's good to receive nice feedback so I just felt I needed to email to tell you.

Miss F

Now that we are near to completion on the sale of my Mother’s property I thought I would drop you a note to thank you and your team for the friendly approach and exemplary service that we received. On behalf of the family, thank you, and know that we would not hesitate to recommend your services in the future.

Ms H

Goodman & Lilley – Thank you for being so brilliant! We’ll miss speaking with you most days – I’m sure your feelings are quite the opposite – you went above and beyond!

Mr & Mrs C

It was absolutely our pleasure to have you selling our house! You maintain a good blend of professionalism with humour and an upfront approach that we hope you never lose. We're sure it was your request for us to drop just a little in price that began the movement toward a sale. You were always available to us and you always seemed to consider us. We are aware that once that offer came in, your negotiating skills really paid dividends for us. It's been a real pleasure working with you and we will try and keep an eye out for you whenever we get back to the area. Good luck, we know you'll do well, and thanks again.

Mr & Mrs G

Even at the very end you were still more than happy to get the readings! We were very lucky to have someone keeping us informed along the way - as to how the house presents itself, client reaction, and so on. You have some good old fashion values that we wish were more widespread. Thanks again for all your efforts

Mr & Mrs S

Thank you for all your help and support with the purchase of our new home. We appreciate all your hard work and are very much enjoying having our own place!

Mr F & Miss P

I had my property on the market for three months with another agent, Goodman & Lilley agreed a sale within one hour of marketing, well done

Mr H

Thank you so much for your support when selling my home, you were sensitive and kept me informed in all aspects. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone choosing an Estate Agent

Mr & Mrs P

Thank you for restoring our faith in Estate Agencies, a first class service

Dr I

As an experienced Landlord, I was impressed with the professionalism and expediency in which Goodman & Lilley carried out the letting of my properties together with the legalities involved - I would not hesitate in recommending them.

Mr P

Thank you to all at Goodman & Lilley for your hard work, you worked brilliantly as a team. I have dealt with a lot of Estate Agents over the years and you are the best company I have come across
