Professional Service all round

We had a long drawn out selling process which eventually resulted in completion of sale of deceased mother' house. Hannah was extremely helpful and was always courteous and tolerated my continual never ending questions and always answered emails and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the future.

Frustration

The winding up of my mother's estate seemed to take forever, 3 1/2 years to be exact! I can accept that she died out of the UK but the delays seemed inordinately long. I wrote on 2 separate occasions to find out why it was taking so long and didn't even receive the courtesy of a reply, not a very good advert for legal efficiency!

In the Estate of the late Terence Sweet

I was very happy with the services I received from Aimee Edwards at Coodes solicitors when dealing with the estate of my late father. Aimee was very professional and efficient. I needed to contact her with queries from time to time and found her to be very helpful, kind and she always came back with a prompt reply. All the staff with whom we dealt were always pleasant and helpful.

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!

Excellent advice and assistance

Over recent years Sophie has assisted us with a number of conveyancing and related legal matters and we have found her to be outstanding. She is a complete professional in every way: clear, reliable, efficient, diligent, polite and friendly! We cannot fault the service she and her team have provided us and we will have no hesitation about going back to her should we need further support in the future.

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
