Great Service!

Juliette has helped with both of my parents’ estates and has been fantastic throughout the whole process. She explains everything in layman’s terms, which has really helped me understand what can be very complicated estate protocols and procedures. She has been professional, supportive, and approachable every step of the way. I would always recommend her to others.

Great service from Coodes, I was recommended them to handle the affairs of my late mother. Bernadette dealt with the probate work and has been excellent in doing this, with good, professional, friendly communication all the way. Conveyancing for the sale of the house was handled by Sophie Jones and Debbie Mills. Again, they both provided an excellent, professional, helpful and friendly service. Thanks to all the Coodes team!

Conveyancing services

I had an excellent experience with Lianne and the team throughout my house purchase. They were efficient, professional and kept the process moving forward, which was particularly important as this purchase needed to be completed quickly. They responded promptly to all of my queries and always took the time to explain things clearly, giving me confidence that everything was being handled thoroughly. Their communication was excellent, and they were approachable and easy to deal with from start to finish. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive and efficient conveyancing solicitor. Their professionalism and commitment made what can often be a stressful process feel much more manageable.

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
