      Absolutely excellent!
      Goadsby, Southampton has taken care of renting my flat for me for many years while I am living and working abroad. I cannot speak highly enough of their professional and friendly service. Absolutely excellent! Recently, I had to update my flat before a new tenant moved in. Freddie and his team had arranged painting, new carpets and electrical work as soon as I gave the go ahead. Freddie updated me constantly and patiently and swiftly answered my endless emails. Tom, Laura, Rebecca and Stacy all contribute to a smooth experience. It's a joy to work with the Goadsby, Southampton Office and very reassuring to know I can rely on them 100% to take care of all issues regarding my flat. A big thank you to all of you!
