All throughout my dealings with Codes I felt well informed and supported by their excellent and professional team.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you felt well-informed and fully supported by our team throughout your time with us.
You hear of so many poor experiences with solicitors so when you have a really good one the world needs to know! From start to finish Lisa Barnett at Coodes handled everything with speed, efficiency and professionalism. Moreover she was a friendly reassuring voice who helped me to keep calm in what could be an otherwise overwhelming and stressful situation. I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough and urge anyone who needs their conveyancing handled in a timely and professional manner to get in touch with her without delay. 5* from me, thank you Lisa x

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.

I was helped by Amy at Coodes in two legal matters, and was very happy with the way both were dealt with. I would use Coodes again

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that our team provided a service you were happy with across both matters.
I highly recommend Coodes Solicitors in St Austell. They responded promptly to a legal matter for us that needed urgent attention, and dealt with it very efficiently. The people at Coodes are extremely helpful and professional. Thank you!
Dear Paul Thank you very much for this kind review. We were glad to be able to help you. Coodes
Beyond useless, had the sad misfortune of thinking coodes were any good, i needed help against cornwall council social services who were illegally funding my late Mums care fees. I could not meet them face to face (even though covid was passed), always chasing, the communication was appalling and by e-mail(you ask 3 questions and may get a reply for one). When the judge set deadlines and the council were not adhering to them i told coodes to notify the court, they kept saying"oh we willgive them a bit longer", eventually i had to contact the court myself as coodes and the councils solicitors had agreed to "push back" a judges deadline by 4 weeks. I applied with a N244 to get the case thrown out because the council were breaking judges deadlines, at the hearing the judge agreed with me that the council had breached the deadlines and had no legal reason for doing this, when i stated i had an instruction from my solicitors(coodes) that both parties had agreed to move a "judges deadline" which is not allowed, the councils barrister pointed out it was in fact coodes that had asked for this?. The judge denied the councils barristers costs and said it was the councils fault she was in court today and i was quite within my rights to bring the matter to the courts attention, but coodes had let me down, unbelievable, i had been asking coodes to notify the court and they never had the decency to tell me it was them who had broke the judges orders on this occasion making it one all so to speak. They thensaid they could not represent me as any trust had gone so threw me under the bus, head of department Mel grose also informed me she had done something she shouldn't have by contacting the council head lawyer Alan perry direct as she felt the case was being handled by juniors and that he could"give them a nudge to speed things up". They also refused tme any access to all the evidence they were holding about the casewhich some had been sent direct to them with my permission. Obviously they have their reasons for not wanting to go against the council. I would recommendthat if they were the only solicitors in Cornwall that you contact one in Devon
Dear Mr Dunstan We were sorry to read your review. We would like to have the opportunity to discuss your experience with you and would ask that you call us on 0800 328 3282 to arrange a meeting. If you would like to raise a formal complaint about our service please refer to our Complaints Procedure - https://coodes.co.uk/about-us/complaints-procedure/ We look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Coodes
Would highly recommend Sophie Jones! Sophie always responds promptly to emails, acts in your best interests and finds a way to over come complex issues that arise during a purchase. We are so grateful that she represented us and could not have asked for a better solicitor or service. Sophie’s assistant Debbie Mills was also a pleasure to work with.
Dear Scott and Alex Thank you so much for this fabulous review. We were glad to be able to help. Coodes
Laura and Emma were fantastic throughout. I've dealt with multiple solicitors in the past, their attention to detail and pro active approach was a breath of fresh air. My friend also had the same experience and I'm so pleased I took their recommendation.
Dear Craig Thank you so much for this lovely review. Coodes
We worked with Catherine Hyde at Coodes and we were delighted with her service and would be happy to recommend her. She is a credit to the company. Catherine is both professional and thorough.

Lianne recently handled a sale and purchase for us. We had non stop issues with our buyers solicitors and various other issues with the property we were purchasing. Lianne was excellent throughout the entire process. Always keeping us up to date with progress and any questions we had were answered very quickly. Constantly chasing for us to make sure that we could get exchanged and completed on a short time frame. We are now in our new home and received a very nice email this morning to wish us well in our new home.

Truly excellent support. I was told that I would be supported to sell my property as quickly as possible. This was true to their word. The house sell took unexpectedly over 10 months to come to fruition and I was supported through the emotional turmoil. Excellent solicitor that you can feel confident in. I’m very grateful to them.

Thank you for this incredibly honest and heartfelt review. A 10-month sale is an absolute marathon, and it can be a massive emotional rollercoaster. Congratulations on finally closing this chapter, and all the very best for the future!

I have used these Solicitors on two separate occasions and on both occasions have been very pleased and satisfied with the effort and service provided on my behalf. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Thank you so much for choosing us once again for your property transactions, David. We are thrilled to hear that you have been so pleased with our efforts on both occasions. Your loyalty and recommendation mean the world to our team. All the very best!

Hannah was brilliant helping us buy our first home. She processed everything efficiently and was always happy to answer any questions we had. Thanks so much
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that Hannah provided efficient support and helped make your first home purchase a positive experience.
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.
Would highly recommend Coodes to first time buyers. Hannah made it very easy and was very efficient. Thank you Hannah
Thank you so much, Beth — we’re delighted to hear you had a great experience with Coodes. Hannah is thrilled to know her help made the process easier for you. If you need any further assistance in the future, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Disgusting Company. Working on behalf of a person that is not nice, so kids can't see there dad that loves them and done nothing wrong not to see them. Fathers for justice
Dear Mr Hocking On checking our records, it does not appear you are a client of ours. If we are mistaken, please do contact us either by phone 0800 328 3282 or email info@coodes.co.uk. Many thanks. Coodes Solicitors
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
Dear James Thank you so much for taking your time to write this kind review. We were delighted to be able to help you. Coodes
