Sound advice and great support

From the start, Demelza and her team were accessible, honest, supportive and understanding. Her assurance and decision making instilled my confidence in her and I was right to trust her. Her empathy with the affect the process had on me was reassuring and helped me through a troubling period. I'm very grateful for her professionalism and her support

Transfer of land to children

We were very happy with the work done for us in transferring land to our children. Despite being pensioners and not good with technology, it was made easier for us in that paper documentation could be used when necessary. Jo Counter was understanding and helpful with all aspects of the transfer and kept us fully informed at each stage of the transfer.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

HIGHLY recommend Coodes, Ann-Marie and her PA Caroline have been amazing. From the very beginning of our transaction right through to the end, they have both been absolutely fantastic and we genuinely could not be more grateful for everything they have done for us. You often hear so many negative stories about people’s experiences with solicitors, particularly when buying and selling a property, but that has absolutely not been our experience with Coodes. From our very first contact with Ann-Marie and Caroline, we felt completely supported, listened to and reassured. They have both been incredibly helpful, professional, approachable, responsive and understanding throughout the entire process. Our transaction has certainly not been the most straightforward and there have been a number of challenges, complications and unexpected issues along the way. Despite this, Ann-Marie and Caroline have dealt with everything with an incredible amount of patience, professionalism and determination. Nothing ever seemed like too much trouble and whenever something came up, they were always there to explain what was happening, answer our questions and help us understand exactly what needed to happen next. Ann-Marie has been absolutely brilliant throughout. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional, but at the same time incredibly personable and reassuring. We always felt that we were in safe hands and that our situation was being dealt with properly. She went above and beyond to help us navigate all of the complications that arose and we have genuinely appreciated the amount of time, effort and care she has put into our transaction. Caroline has also been an absolute star. Her communication, organisation and responsiveness have been fantastic and we cannot thank her enough for all of the support she has given us. There have been countless emails, phone calls, updates, questions and things to chase along the way and Caroline has always been so helpful and quick to respond. Having someone so organised and approachable there to help has made a huge difference to us. One of the biggest things we have appreciated about both of them is that we never felt like we were simply another file or another transaction. We always felt that they genuinely cared about helping us get everything over the line. Even when things became complicated or stressful, they remained calm, professional and incredibly supportive. Property transactions can be stressful at the best of times, and ours certainly had its moments! Having Ann-Marie and Caroline working so hard behind the scenes made what could have been an incredibly overwhelming process much easier to navigate. Knowing that we could contact them, ask questions and get a clear and helpful response gave us so much reassurance throughout. Thank you for all of the emails, phone calls, updates, explanations, chasing, problem-solving and everything else you have done behind the scenes. We know that there is an enormous amount of work involved in getting a transaction like this completed, and we really do appreciate the commitment you have both shown from start to finish. It has made such a huge difference to us and has certainly helped make what could have been a very stressful experience feel much more manageable. We honestly feel incredibly lucky to have had Ann-Marie and Caroline looking after us throughout this process. Our experience with Coodes has been exceptional, and that is largely down to the care, professionalism and dedication of Ann-Marie and Caroline. They are a real credit to Coodes and are exactly the kind of people you hope to have on your side when dealing with something as important and stressful as buying and selling a home. If anyone is looking for a solicitor, we would wholeheartedly recommend Coodes and, in particular, Ann-Marie and Caroline. We would have absolutely no hesitation in using them again in the future. Thank you both so much for everything. We genuinely appreciate all of your hard work, patience, kindness and support more than we can say. You have both gone above and beyond for us, and we will always be incredibly grateful for everything you have done to help us get to this point. An absolutely outstanding service from start to finish. Five stars really don’t feel enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Redundancy settlement

Being made redundant is not a pleasant experience when dealing with a global corporate. Steph was able to deal with my employers solicitors professionally and firmly. She secured a much better outcome for me, both financially and legally moving forward.

We honestly cannot recommend Ann-Marie and her PA Caroline at Coodes highly enough. They have both been absolutely fantastic from start to finish, and we genuinely could not be more grateful for everything they have done for us. Our transaction was far from straightforward, with a number of challenges and complications along the way, but Ann-Marie and Caroline were always incredibly professional, helpful, responsive and supportive. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they were always on hand to answer our questions, explain things clearly and reassure us whenever we needed it. You often hear negative stories about dealing with solicitors, but that has absolutely not been our experience with Coodes. Ann-Marie has gone above and beyond for us, and Caroline has been an absolute star with her communication and support throughout. Their hard work, patience and dedication made what could have been an extremely stressful process so much easier to navigate. We always felt that we were in safe hands and that they genuinely cared about helping us get everything over the line. We really cannot thank you both enough for everything you have done. You are a real credit to Coodes, and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you or using you again in the future. Five stars really don’t feel enough! ⭐️
