House Sale

Decades since last house sale, and found the process to be a vastly changed experience, with masses of paperwork, (although pretty straight forward) it required more time than expected.
My buyer was described as 'quite demanding' making the process more stressful than necessary, which led to a later completion than we'd initially anticipated.
However, Laura Vanstone, Coodes solicitor, acting for me, took me through each stage via email and telephone contact, and the house sale went through.

Superb service

Having had an excellent conveyancing experience with Coodes before, I used them again, but this time with a different solicitor, Laura. Laura far exceeded my expectations as a client in terms of professionalism, clear communication, regular feedback and timeliness. I would highly recommend Laura V at Coodes; she enabled a swift sale during a very challenging set of circumstances on my part as I was having to dovetail the sale of my mother's bungalow and transitioning my mother into a nursing home. Laura made a very stressful situation on my part much easier and acted as a great advocate for me with the estate agents and buyers' solicitors.

Kate handled the sale of our father’s property for myself and my sister who do not live locally to the property. Everything went smoothly and we were able to remotely conduct the sale which was perfect. In a stressful situation it was good to know that the details were being taken care of by somebody who had everything covered. I would recommend Kate. My father previously used Coodes for drawing up his will and the Power of attorney for myself and my sister.

I have used Coodes in Holsworthy on multiple occasions. Both Kate and Amelia have been exceedingly efficient with both the house purchase and sale and have been quick to act on various points along the way, completing the process of sale in just under 8 weeks. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for the next purchase.
