What our

Clients are saying


Would thoroughly recommend Goatley Hirst. Matt was extremely helpful in both the sale and purchase of our new property, and we especially liked the fact that you could call or message at any time with any questions. He kept us in the loop with everything he was aware of, and was great at negotiating and coordinating the process.

HC, Bromley

Can't speak highly enough of Matt. Our purchase was protracted and complicated and Matt stayed in contact throughout, going above and beyond with communication and problem solving. Always a pleasure to deal with, professional, approachable and dedicated. Thank you Matt!

KJH, Bromley

Great experience with Matt. Really on the ball through the whole process. Negotiated a good price on our behalf and made sure everything kept moving. Thank you, Matt!

Daniel Eley, Bromley

I had a great experience with Luke at Goatley Hirst who handled the sale of my property. Luke kept me updated on progress throughout the process and went the extra mile, chasing up outstanding info from other solicitors and estate agents in the chain. Luke was a pleasure to deal with - proactive, professional, supportive and responsive. I have no hesitation in recommending Goatley Hirst.

Susan Lee, Chatterton Village

We were very impressed with the service we received from Goatley Hirst for our house sale. They are trustworthy and very efficient. They kept us up to speed with every step of the process. The process is all online so it is easy and smooth.

We would recommend them in a heartbeat and would be using them for any future house transactions. Thanks again guys 5*

Hayley Ball, Sundridge Park

We would highly recommend Goatley Hirst. Luke sold our flat and was always reachable by phone or text often responding out of hours. He liaised across the parties and was informed and knowledgable throughout the process. All in all a great local agent.

Fiona B, Chatterton Village

We highly recommend G&H Real Estates, our experience with Matthew Hirst during our recent property purchase was great. He was prompt to respond to our emails, keeping us informed throughout the entire process. Regular updates and milestones provided a sense of security that we greatly appreciated, as well as his dedication to addressing our concerns.

Xiaoxu Fan, Bromley

We purchased our new house through Goatley Hirst working with Luke. Luke was a pleasure to deal with, honest and responsive, supporting us through a lengthy process! We were really happy with the level of service and professionalism and would highly recommend Goatley Hirst to anyone looking to sell or buy a property.

Kat Mccurrie, West Wickham

Very professional company. Helpful and friendly. They always gave a quick response regarding queries . I would highly recommend them.

Angie Williams, Bromley

5 star service from Matthew, would highly recommend, made the selling process as smooth as he could.

Favia Green, West Wickham

Having sold our house through Matt at G&H estate agents I highly recommend them. Matt has been a pleasure to deal with, after our initial buyer fell through Matt was able to secure another buyer in less than a week and for a higher price. Throughout the house buying process Matt has been professional, courteous and supportive. G&H are able to provide a more bespoke and attentive level of service than your typical high street agent.

Mungie, Bromley

Amazing service from start to finish, couldn't thank the team enough. I predominantly dealt with Matthew, who was a dream compared to our previous agent experiences. I wish there were more stars to give!

Paris Sharples, Bromley

Our experience with G&H Real Estate, and specifically with Matthew Hirst, was superb. Matthew's knowledge of property history and the local area was second to none, making our decision-making process much easier. What stood out the most was the exceptional communication throughout the entire process, from viewing to completion. Matthew was always ready to provide updates, answer questions, and go above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable with every decision made. Compared to other real estate agents we've dealt with, G&H and Matthew were simply in a league of their own. We wholeheartedly recommend G&H for anyone seeking a seamless, professional, and personalized property buying experience. Their service was exemplary, proving to us that they truly value their clients and their dreams.

Peter Ishak, Bromley

Having met with several large high street agents, I appointed with G&H. Their approach, attitude, communication and personable style was appealing. Rate was competitive. Matt was extremely responsive, professional and has a way building rapport with people. Even though two buyers fell through due to no fault of me or G&H, Matt was encouraging and persistent. We ended with our third buyer and achieved our desired price within 2 days of opening up to viewing (every single time). He didn't feel like an agent, more like a trusting friend, always on hand to give advice. Highly recommended. Really has done a great job and set a high bar for other agencies.

HD, Chatterton Village

Brilliant, individual service that we can’t rate highly enough. Matthew was brilliant throughout the whole complex transaction. Thank you, Goatley Hirst!

Mani and Becca, Bromley

Matt has been a true ally in the house sale process. He went above and beyond to guide me through. I felt wholly supported by him. He has been incredibly responsive at all times and been a listening ear during the more stressful moments. I am happy to endorse Goatley Hirst as a reputable estate agent who have their clients needs at heart.

S Fleming, Bromley

We recently started purchased a house in Bromley through Luke at Goatley Hirst, what a nice guy! Very personable, calm and collected and a great communicator. Goatley Hirst have the perfect balance of being a modern day agents, without the con of the online route which basically costs everyone else in the chain where that seller saves! Highly recommend their services - having been an estate agent in civilised Harrow in the Hill I have met a fair few in the industry I wouldn’t! Thanks Luke!

Harriet Hudson, Sundridge Park

Such a good experience with Goately Hirst, I really valued their professional advice and guidance. Genuinely helpful, kind and transparent. It was not an easy market when I sold and I wouldn’t have wanted to do it with anyone else.

Hannah Caine, Sundridge Park

First class from beginning to end, Matthew took all the stress away from selling a house, would thoroughly recommend , thank you

Suzanne Blows, Petts Wood

Goatley Hirst from the outset were very personable and were an excellent firm to buy from. They kept us informed every step of the way and I would definitely use them to sell our house as they are very effective. A modern and class estate agent!

Graham Oddie, Bickley

After a bad experience with the 'top local agent' We were so pleased with the highly professional personal service, which gave us everything we could have asked for, a quick and stress free sale with one contact from start to finish, truly could not have asked for more. Cannot recommend highly enough, a real five star experience.

Andrew Gould, Bickley

We went through Goatley & Hirst based on a recommendation and I was not disappointed. Matt & Luke were professional, responsive and made selling our home as smooth as possible. Their straight talking and advice was greatly appreciated, as was getting a good price in what was a challenging market. Although I hope not to move anytime soon, when we do, I will have no hesitation contacting Goatley & Hirst.

William Whitfield, Hayes

I couldn't have asked for better estate agents as Matt helped to calm me and kept me informed of everything that was going on which made my experience so much better than expected. Thank you for getting my property sold so quickly and at the price I wanted.

Gail Bateman, West Wickham

A very efficient and attentive service. Goatley Hirst succeeded in clinching the sale of difficult to sell property.

David Viles, Bromley

Would 100% recommend Goatley Hirst when selling your property. Professional, reliable and honest. When purchasing a property it can be very stressful but knowing you have a supportive estate agent like Goatley Hirst assisting you it’s one thing less to worry about. Luke and Matt helped us every step of the way from selling our property to purchasing and negotiating on the purchase of our forever home. There are not many estate agents who go the extra mile, but Luke and Matt do.

Ruth Hatcheck, Biggin Hill

We bought our flat through Goatley Hirst and were very impressed with their service. Matt was friendly and professional and coordinated the purchase very efficiently. Highly recommend.

Deborah Sallows, Bromley

Matthew provided a great service to sell my house. I would definitely recommend Goatley Hirst to act as estate agents for selling your property.

Kanti Shah, Bromley

If you’re looking to buy or sell in the Bromley area I would highly recommend Matthew & Luke, they offer a professional, straight-talking and friendly service.

Tim Nye, Bromley

Just sold my flat through G&H, completed today. Matt Hirst dealt with my sale from start to finish & he was superb. I don’t normally write reviews but I’ve made an exception here. I highly recommend G&H.

John Downes, Bromley

5* Service from this estate agents. I dealt with Matthew Hirst, who was extremely professional, friendly always phoned me back promptly and delivered an overall 10/10 service.
From viewing of property to completion in just 7 weeks I can’t fault this agency at all.
Thank you for everything.

Chloe Roberts, Croydon

I recently purchased a property through Goatley Hirst and can't recommend them enough. They ensured the process was smooth from start to finish with regular communication throughout. They were happy to offer advise and helped nudge solicitors when needed.
Overall they made the whole process as stress free as possible.

Joseph Coell, Bromley

Thank you Matt for helping us buying our new home! Matt has been great support with open communication. We had a group wats app and was regularly updated. The whole process was smooth with contracts exchanged and keys obtained in a very timely manner. We would highly recommend utilising the experience of G&H! Thank you, Mr & Mrs GI.

Mr & Mrs GI, Bromley

We have recently bought our house through this agent and have nothing but positive thoughts about them! Luke was fab - honest, true to his word and kept us updated throughout the process. Exactly what you want from an agent! We would not hesitate to recommend and would use them again (although now have our dream home, so very unlikely!!) Thank you!

Rachael Mitchell, Bromley

I cannot recommend Matthew Hirst highly enough. I lived in Garden Road in Bromley for nearly 27 years and it was very important to me to trust the estate agent that sold my home. He has been extremely helpful and reassuring and remained calm throughout, even when I called him or messaged him with yet another query.

Matthew sold my house quickly and efficiently and has made the entire process easier for me which I truly appreciate.

Thank you Mr Hirst.

Fiona Morrell, Bromley

Goatley Hirst were a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process of purchasing our new home. Mathew was very professional and attentive. When we hit a rocky patch in the purchase, he was instrumental in helping us reach the completion stage. I would highly recommend using Goatley Hirst, especially if you are looking for an agent that gives you more of a personal touch.

James Cadman, Bromley

Amazing professional service from start to finish. Luke and Matt were outstanding, with excellent communication throughout the whole process. They supported and guided my decisions. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend GoatleyHirst when buying and selling a property.

Helen Hatchek, Hayes

Matthew sold our house in Lodge Road, Bromley this year and was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process, going above and beyond at every step. Having never sold a house before, I was completely clueless and having just lost my father it was really reassuring to have someone to help me with everything. Nothing was too much trouble and he would get back to me immediately with any questions I had. He was never pushy and has a lovely manner about him. I would thoroughly recommend Goatley Hirst to anyone looking to buy or sell their house.

Cressida Tuson, Bromley

We missed out on the property that we really wanted initially, but Matthew was kind enough to give us first refusal when that sale fell through. We pounced on it and it's all gone quite smoothly. Matthew was fantastic throughout - tolerating our many visits with surveyors, builders, and more. I hope not to be buying another property any time soon, but if I had to, then I'd be glad to do it through Goatley Hirst.

Sam Crawford, Bromley

From the day Matthew valued the house to the day we completed he was always there to help. Hope not to move again but if we did we would definately go to Goatley Hirst again.

John Winson, Bromley
Goatley Hirst provided incredible service from day one of the moving process. Luke is incredibly knowledgeable, offering a huge amount of advice, and was always happy to answer questions, no matter how many there were. They were able to get us a fantastic price for our property, within a very short time on the market, as well as managing the process exceptionally. The quality of the sales package Luke put together is above and beyond any other high street estate agent. I would highly recommend.
Emma Fowler-Grange, Worcester Park
We just got our house keys and are so thankful to Goatley Hirst for their amazing service. Luke was an absolute star even when we annoyed him with a million questions. We completed our transaction within a month beating the stamp duty holiday . All this was possible because of Luke's excellent advice. Thank you so much for helping us in getting our dream home.
Dr Richa Bhatia, Chislehurst

Matt and Luke offered a first class service in the sale of our house. They are proactive, easily contactable, friendly and efficient. From our first contact with them in early March, we had sold our house at above the asking price by the middle of June. Throughout, they were available all hours to answer our various concerns and offer expert advice on the market and our search for a new property. I would highly recommend them.

Veronica Parry, Bromley

Goatley Hirst ensured that the sale of my mother’s house was a smooth process from our intial meeting to completion. The photographs and marketing of the property went beyond our expectations, and resulted in us receiving several above the asking price offers. Luke was proactive and responsive throughout the sales process ensuring we were kept up to date and never had to chase for information due to excellent communication – it was a totally stress free experience. I would recommend Goatley Hirst and would have absolutely no hesitation in using them again.

Pietra Salmasi, Chislehurst

I would highly recommend Goatley Hirst for a smooth, stress free sales process. Extremely professional service. Luke made himself available throughout, and kept everything on track and moving forward. Very pleased with end result, and Luke continues to make himself available for any post completion questions or queries. Wish him and Goatley Hirst all the best for the future.

Jamie Rogers, West Wickham

Matthew at Goatley Hirst was exceptional from the get go. He was always on hand if there were any issues and I always received a speedy response. He made a stressful process much easier than it would have normally been.

Craig Gemmill, Bromley

We purchased our new home in Bromley through Luke at Goatley Hirst and after a bad experience with another agent decided to market our property with GH as well. Luke was very professional and updated us every step of the way for both our purchase and our sale. Both went very smoothly and Luke remained calm throughout, meaning that we did not experience the stress usually associated with moving house. It's a pleasure dealing with Luke and he really does make you feel you are his only customer, even his after sale customer service has been amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. We highly recommend Goatley Hirst, their "personal touch" and 24/7 responsiveness really make a difference.

Helena Southon, West Wickham

Matthew handled our new home purchase from start to finish and provided an excellent service - from before we made our offer, to having it accepted and to eventually completing yesterday - he ensured we had all the information we needed, was super responsive and professional. We’re really pleased to be in our new home and would happily recommend G&H. Thank you!

Charlotte B, Bromley

Matthew provided us with with a service that was “above and beyond “ what we expected from an agency. They supported us through every eventuality and offered solutions to any circumstances - that trying to move home during this pandemic, through at us. If we ever decide to move again, they will be our first and only call.

John McLean, Bromley

We/ve used Matthew and Luke previously and were very satisfied then, so when they started their on own venture they were the natural choice of agents. The best choice, never let us down in expectations in any way and got the job done despite the pitfalls thrown their way. No hesitate to recommend. Thank you Matt and Luke

Sharon James, Bromley

Matthew was brilliant from start to finish. My flat was sold on the first day of viewings for over the asking price. The conveyancing turned out to be long & challenging but Matthew was supportive & helpful throughout. I would highly recommend Goatley & Hirst.

Lauren Gore, Bromley

Luke is the ultimate professional and worked tirelessly on our house sale from the moment he valued our house through to completion. His understanding and knowledge of the housing market, selling and purchasing process mean that he is proactive, always working with all parties ensuring the chain is progressing and keeping us up to date. Communication was brilliant, we always knew exactly what was happening. The whole experience was less stressful because Luke managed everything from start to finish. I have no hesitation in recommending Goatley Hirst.

Jane Hawkins, Bromley

I Cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish very hands on and passionate about what they do. Good honest service at its best. Refreshing not to have to chase people continuously. All the best for a booming business as you guys deserve it.

Nina Long, Bromley

Used G&H recently after being unsuccessful with a larger, well known agency. Matthew was excellent from start to finish: good knowledge of local market, kept us well informed throughout and very responsive to any queries. Highly recommended.

David Fletcher, Hayes

We used G&H recently and could not have been happier with the service. We wanted our next house to have a good social space, they took on board our requirements and got us the house we wanted. They also sold our house and handled that with equal professionalism. They were very responsive and always checked in on us to give us updates. Both Matt and Luke are friendly, decent and down to earth guys and I have already recommend them to friends.

Ryan Mathews, Bromley

Matt was the estate agent for my recent house purchase. From the first viewing he shared his extensive local knowledge with us which was invaluable. He was very communicative throughout the whole purchase, updating us every step of the way. Matt is professional, helpful and warm. I would recommend using Goatley Hirst.

Chloe Dixon, Bromley

We bought our house in 2020 and Matt was simply outstanding to work with. He was available, knowledgeable and beyond helpful. We bought our dream home and the process was smooth and stress free, all thanks to Matt! A total delight!

Steph Griffiths, Bromley

We recently used Goatley Hirst for our house purchase. Luke was very responsive throughout and kept us up to date with everything. He was on hand every time we had a question or needed some advice. On the whole, the whole process was very smooth and I would recommend Goatley Hirst to others.

Becky Ami, Bromley

We can not describe how happy we were/have been with Luke and Goatley Hirst. Luke met us at our house and straight away put our minds at ease regarding the sale of our property; good honest advice supported by a clear understanding of the market through many years experience in the field. Luke dealt with each part of the process from start to finish and, even through the ever changing COVID environment, the falling through of one agreed sale and strict deadlines, managed to get us over the line smoothly and efficiently. They are not like any other agent, always at the end of the phone to answer questions but most importantly for support and advice. You will not regret choosing these two!

Sam Wheeler, Bromley

We listed our home with Goatley & Hirst and were extremely impressed with their professional and personal approach, they were extremely motivated to sell our home and did so quickly. We were more impressed with processes once we had our offer, they managed all parties both up and down the chain, ensuring they had a holistic view of where each party was and the next steps. They kept driving the sale forward right until exchange and completion. We feel they went above and beyond and we would not hesitate to recommend them and we will certainly use their services again.

Annabel McQueen, Chislehurst

I invited Goatley Hirst to value my home based on a friends recommendation and they advised me of the steps and what I should do to make my property sell. They also put me in touch with the mortgage advisor who was great and so easy to deal with. My property is now sold and i cant wait to move on to the next home. What I really love about this company is that they are not just estate agents they are property advisors and they are also going to help with the design of my new home which is just another level of service way beyond my expectations. Both Matt and Luke have been a pleasure to deal with 

Ben Wright, West Wickham

Matt and Luke provided an excellent service when we sold our house through them. Simple things like block booking viewings for us and passing on feedback from viewings promptly. They both knew what we were looking for in a property and suggested properties to view as they came to market, including the one we successfully purchased through them.

Alice Riley, Bromley

I am an estate agent, working for a local agency and yet I decided to sell my beautiful house with G&H. I couldn’t trust anyone, even myself ;-) This was the 3rd transaction we have done with Matthew and Lucas with the last one completed just week ago. We couldn’t have asked for a better service. Matthew and Luck are simply phenomenal. They care about you and your property from the very first day to long after it is sold. They advised us during renovation of our house with design and layout, even recommended a great architect! Most importantly Matthew ALWAYS answered our phone calls and emails. Extremely friendly and honest person, but most important, he will do his best to keep you informed with the progress of selling your property. The whole transaction went smoothly, and we can’t wait to do another business with them again! They are true inspiration to me and I have learned a lot from them.

Sylvia Tekiela, Bromley

Matthew clearly takes the time to know everything he can about the properties he is selling and this makes a huge difference, it was a pleasant surprise and a stark contrast to some estate agents we had dealt with. He was always understanding of our point of view and helpful wherever he was able.

Carl Thomas, Bromley

I dealt with Matt from the start to the finish and any problems (not that we had any) were just a phone call away. I thought he was very knowledgable about my property / the area and advised me on what we should put the property on for. We had a good flow of people who viewed with honest feedback and went under offer within a few weeks of being on the market. The photographs were excellent and how the property was presented online. Would definitely recommend Goatley Hirst to friends and family. Keep up the good work Matt and Luke!

Joanna Hornsby, Bromley

We bought our house through Goatley Hirst, their personal service was excellent from start to finish, keeping us well informed and explaining what needed to be done. Their perseverance when things got a bit tricky was also very helpful and it was down to them that everything was able to go through smoothly.

Robert Aldridge, Bromley

We had a very good experience with GH as our agents. Luke and Matthew worked very hard to sell our property. Through careful targetting of potential buyers they had sold the property within a couple of days of it going on the market. Luke then held our hand all the way through the process up to exchange and completion and was very active on a daily basis in chasing up solicitors and other agents to ensure that things went through as quickly and smoothly as possible. To sum up: experienced professionals who are hard working, knowledgeable and very friendly.

Michael Giddings, Bromley

GH were the most personable And open agents we have dealt with, driving the chain forward without feeling pushy. Communication was on point. They even went the extra mile of recommending and organising introductions at local schools for our daughter. Would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Ruth Mead-Wellings, Bromley

We were recommended Goatley Hirst to sell our house and will be highly recommending them to friends and family! The expertise and experience of both Matthew and Luke is second to none. A great company to work with, would not hesitate to use again! Five stars!

Michelle Crussell, Bromley

We have been dealing with estate agents for the best part of two years and we were only introduced to G&H when viewing the property we have just exchanged on. Matt was incredibly efficient and went above and beyond what I could have hoped for. The process has been so smooth and that it is in big part down to him. To top it all off, he is a really friendly guy and a pleasure to deal with. I couldn't recommend Matt highly enough and I only wish I had been introduced to G&H earlier as I would have used them to sell our own house.

Anthony Corrigan, Bromley

A professional and friendly service and a big thank you to Matt who went above and beyond to help reach completion as efficiently as possible. Matt wasn’t even the acting agent for us we was just purchasing a property through Goatley, but on one occasion he even delivered paperwork to our solicitor because of the difficult time we are currently facing to ensure things kept moving. I would definitely recommend Goatley Hirst.

Kelly McDonald, Bromley

A professional and friendly service from start to finish, always one step ahead of the process. Thanks to Matt who went above and beyond to help reach completion as efficiently as possible. The completion gift was a nice touch and well received. Thank you again, I would definitely recommend Goatley Hirst.

Clare Thompson, Bromley

I highly recommend Goatley Hirst. We had attempted to sell our flat with other agents previously however had been left disappointed with poor communication and and lack of results. This was hugely different with Goatley Hirst. Communication was proactive and effective with constant updates of the work behind the scenes, potential viewings and consistently throughout the completion process.In addition to their professional manner, Goatley Hirst are very well connected. Within a short time of being on the market we had multiple viewings- something the other agencies had failed to achieve. Matt went above and beyond to chase and push through the sale, taking the pressure off us and as first time sellers providing plenty of information and support as needed. We will be recommending to all friends and family.

Rachel Garrod, Bromley

My partner and I were able to buy our first home with the help of Matthew and Luke and looking back, they made it super easy for us. From our initial viewing they seemed to go above and beyond to make sure we were looked after. They did out of hours viewings to accommodate us, they helped me in communications with solicitors on both sides before and after the sale. When there were last minute hiccups due to mistakes on the vendor side, they fought to get our keys like it was their house. We couldn’t be happier with our home and we know who we can thank for it.

Francis & Pela, Bromley
