Probate sale of cottage

Sophie and her team worked tirelessly to achieve the sale of the property and she was always helpful and worked with the other side to get the sale over the line. I have no hesitation in recommending her and Coodes. Thank you

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.

Outstanding Service

It is a fact, universally acknowledged, that there is very little in life as stressful as moving house. But at least a modicum of that stress can be relieved by instructing a remarkable solicitor, being Kerry Tresidder. Kerry and her team provide an outstanding service, led by professionalism, patience and approachability. Kerry is clearly an expert in the field of residential conveyancing, her legal knowledge is up to date, robust and she has a talent for translating somewhat complex or archaic legal principles into an understandable manner. Her eye for detail is precise and she advocates robustly for her clients. She is obviously well respected by other professionals in the area, a reputation that is clearly well deserved. Communication is clear, timely and concise. Kerry is an outstanding solicitor and a joy to work with.

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!

Sale and Purchase

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.

Selling a property

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!
