Sale of Private Property

Engaged solicitors on 17/4/25 as recommended by Bradleys estate agents who sold my house. Completed on 25/7/25. Very quick service with sending out paperwork throughout. Was kept up to date at all times with the sale of my house by email and post.
Would recommend this firm.

The x2 Solicitors were both approachable, reasonable and came with a good knowledge base. They managed expectations well and they ensured I was consulted at every step. They went the extra mile in service delivered to help me and were compassionate but professional.

Made a difficult work situation much easier.

Spoke to Steph and her assistant Ivelina about a tricky work situation. They took time to look at my options and reassure me whilst dealing with the negotiations.

All dealt with swiftly with a favourable outcome.

Very impressed. Thank you.

House Purchase Liskeard

Coode's helped us to purchase our first Home and they made it a pain free simple process, Teresa was our solicitor and we would highly recommend her and the team to anyone requiring a Solicitor in the future. They kept good communication with both us, the Estate agent and sellers solicitor. Will definitely use them for anything required in the future!

Due to some work circumstances I was asked to leave, I got in touch with Coodes to help with employment law. Steph was a fantastic help in taking me through all the legal wording so that I fully understood what was going on, she was very friendly and approachable.

Teresa and her team were my conveyancers to sell my house and buy my new house, it was a very long process as it was partly through COVID and I took out a lifetime morgage. dispite some quiet spells of not knowing what was happening and not getting some communication that was expected at times when I'd heard nothing for a while. I understood it was a difficult time but overall I was very pleased with the service
very lovely to deal with if u needed to speak to them over the phone instead of email as I sometimes did as I was very stressed they were always helpful and reassuring to me. Teresa was a great solicitor and I want to say thanku To her and the rest of the team. I would definitely use again.
Thanku jane haley
