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.

Redundancy settlement

Steph Marsh and Evie have been absolutely amazing. I can't fault them in any way. Things turned around so quickly by them in less than 24 hours in at least 3 instances. Very efficient and helpful. I would definitely recommend to anyone needing any employment law legal help. Very impressed indeed. 😊

Disappointingly bad experience - I wish I had never used them for a family dispute which, in my opinion, should have gone to mediation. Coodes gave me the hard sell on the phone for over an hour after which I had to be sent home from work. I was given a quote which they said was capped and they wouldn't go over that amount without discussing with me first. They carried unnecessary work that had already been submitted to them by a qualified accountant - and got it all wrong. They then submitted a bill for additional work - presumably they were trying to get their maths to add up - which I refused to pay. They sent me emails addressed to someone else with details of their case. They sent me another bill for work that had been paid for 10 years previously and never completed despite having previously stated in writing that they accepted this bill had already been paid. I sent them further evidence which they ignored despite their customer charter. Their 'complaints department' said they would ensure I was updated. I didn't hear another thing and the work was not completed until I complained to the Legal Ombudsman who also didn't bother to reply but at least there was some action taken. I have just received another letter telling me now that Coodes actually owe me money - obviously maths is not their strong point. What I take from all this is that they clearly don't care about their clients - they are only interested in their extortionate fees. I don't feel they even deserve a one star rating! 1/3/20 - Presumably after intervention from the Ombudsman Coodes finally sent a letter enclosing a cheque for the overpayment from 10 years ago. The only trouble is, they forgot to enclose the cheque 🙄. You couldn’t make it up could you? 😂

A smooth and successful purchase of our new home. The legal work was carried out in a professional and proactive fashion. All potential problems were anticipated and dealt with. We had total confidence in the legal management of both our sale and our purchase.

Mr Liam Johns + Sarah Peart 14 Peer road

As a first-time buyers we found Laura and her team to be professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the purchase process. They guided us through each stage and dealt with matters efficiently, which helped make what can be a stressful experience much more manageable. A particular highlight was the advice provided regarding our Deed of Trust. Laura took the time to speak to each of us individually and explained everything clearly over the phone, ensuring we both fully understood the implications and felt comfortable proceeding. This was handled professionally and gave us confidence that our interests were being properly protected. Overall, we are pleased with the service provided and would recommend them to others looking for a reliable conveyancing solicitor.

Buying Our First Home

After doing some research and getting quotes, Coodes came out on top as price and what it covered compared to the others. From the start Laura and Emma have been excellent and professional from beginning to end. Answering our many questions and never feeling that what we was asking was not important. They kept us upto date through out the whole process. I would recommend Coodes to look after your buying process.

A great experience dealing with Coodes generally and Teresa and Helen in particular. Our sale was quite complex due to the age of the property but everything was explained clearly and solutions found where necessary. Thank you! Kellyann and Tim.

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.

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

Im not their client but owner of the only other property in the chain. We are 9 weeks into the process and still have not heard from Coodes.My recommendation would be to go elsewhere if you want a good service. They need to look at the way they work

A representative from Coodes LLP responded to this review

06/01/2026

Dear Joe Thanks for taking the time to share your perspective. As you are not our client, we are limited in what we can discuss publicly and cannot discuss anything with you directly. We take any concerns around a property transaction seriously and would be happy to understand more offline. Please contact the relevant estate agent with details so they can pass them on to us and we can look into this appropriately. Coodes
