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

Chloe and her team were very helpful going through the selling and buying process. Things moved slower than first planned but this was down to other parties solicitors and not Chloe and the team. It was a great professional service and would recommend and use them again. Well done Coodes

Selling/buying houses is always stressful but Sophie and her crew at Coodes Truro make things go as smoothly as possible. They are patient, professional and, most importantly, always keep you updated. I have been using them for over 20 years and highly recommend their services.

I am writing to express my experience with Coodes concerning the service I received in October 2020 during the purchase of my first home. Regrettably, the service offered by Coodes was subpar. Despite promptly settling the final bill upon conclusion, I was recently surprised to receive communication in April 2024 requesting an additional £215 due to an administrative error that occurred more than 40 months after our business was completed. Though the sum may appear insignificant, I was startled by this unanticipated demand. I chose not to escalate the issue as I perceived no advantage in pursuing it further. I felt compelled to relay my encounter as a word of caution to others who may contemplate engaging with Coodes in the future. Thank you for your attention. Yours sincerely, Rui

A representative from Coodes LLP responded to this review

Dear Rui We are really sorry to hear you are unhappy with our services. We will contact you direct regarding your matter. Kind regards. Coodes

I have been working with Lisa Brewer on a case for around 6 months which completed last Friday 22nd November after many ups and downs - and her colleague Emma stayed late on Friday to ensure that the transaction completed. Lisa has been fantastic, professional and remained calm at all times. A voice of reason throughout a very long and stressful process. As the estate agent in the chain I was so pleased to have Lisa by my side on this one and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or her colleagues at Coodes. A HUGE THANK YOU ;-)

Dear Carla What a lovely review, thank you very much. We are delighted we could help you through this stressful process. Coodes

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!
