Impeccable Efficiency !

Solicitors as a breed are not noted for their alacrity, but Sandy Collings is surely the exception that proves the rule. Whatever detail crops up, be it big or small, she's on it instantly. I cannot recommend her too highly.

Helpful and well informed. Critically Emily asked the right questions too. I am a qualified Solicitor myself, so I like to think that I have a reasonable idea of who is good. I would use Emily again.

A smooth and successful purchase of our new home. The legal work was carried out in a professional and proactive fashion. All potential problems were anticipated and dealt with. We had total confidence in the legal management of both our sale and our purchase.

Mr Liam Johns + Sarah Peart 14 Peer road

As a first-time buyers we found Laura and her team to be professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the purchase process. They guided us through each stage and dealt with matters efficiently, which helped make what can be a stressful experience much more manageable. A particular highlight was the advice provided regarding our Deed of Trust. Laura took the time to speak to each of us individually and explained everything clearly over the phone, ensuring we both fully understood the implications and felt comfortable proceeding. This was handled professionally and gave us confidence that our interests were being properly protected. Overall, we are pleased with the service provided and would recommend them to others looking for a reliable conveyancing solicitor.

Buying Our First Home

After doing some research and getting quotes, Coodes came out on top as price and what it covered compared to the others. From the start Laura and Emma have been excellent and professional from beginning to end. Answering our many questions and never feeling that what we was asking was not important. They kept us upto date through out the whole process. I would recommend Coodes to look after your buying process.

Sale of property

A great experience dealing with Coodes generally and Teresa and Helen in particular. Our sale was quite complex due to the age of the property but everything was explained clearly and solutions found where necessary. Thank you! Kellyann and Tim.

Used for conveyancing and totally brilliant from start to finish. They are certainly not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for and we couldn't fault them. We recommend them and would use them again.

Thank you so much for your fantastic review, Darren. We’re delighted to hear that our conveyancing service was brilliant from start to finish and that you felt the quality justified the price.

We used Kathryn Shaw and Mandy for our sale and purchase of our new property. We highly recommend them, they pushed so hard to get us in as quickly as possible and our purchase was complete in 11 weeks! We will definitely use them again and highly recommend anyone needing conveyancing to contact Coodes

Im not their client but owner of the only other property in the chain. We are 9 weeks into the process and still have not heard from Coodes.My recommendation would be to go elsewhere if you want a good service. They need to look at the way they work

A representative from Coodes LLP responded to this review

Dear Joe Thanks for taking the time to share your perspective. As you are not our client, we are limited in what we can discuss publicly and cannot discuss anything with you directly. We take any concerns around a property transaction seriously and would be happy to understand more offline. Please contact the relevant estate agent with details so they can pass them on to us and we can look into this appropriately. Coodes
