Painful chain

Laura we have to say was excellent throughout what was a pretty torrid experience due to what was happening further down the chain. Thoroughly recommend her professional services.

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? 😂

Excellent conveyancing from Heidi Start

Heidi Start was excellent. She communicated clearly, was prompt and efficient, was proactive and chased the sellers' solicitor and the agents whenever this was necessary, and she kept us informed of progress. We have no hesitation in recommending her.

Excellent Service all the way

Absolutely amazing experience. Lottie was very knowledgeable, always approachable and understanding throughout the whole process and she is an expert with first-time buyers. She was on hand when I needed her and she was brilliant at keeping us updated throughout the whole process. We cannot thank her enough - she was absolutely exemplary throughout. If you are a first time buyer and you are looking for a really good solicitor to talk you through things and to make the experience as painless as possible, Lottie is the person to have in your corner because she will explain things in a way that you can understand and she takes time to make sure that you understand everything that is required throughout the whole process . She is absolutely brilliant at answering emails and will ask you if you want to chat on the phone if you need to also. We cannot thank Lottie enough for everything she has done and could not have done this without her or Coodes so from the bottom of our hearts thanks a million 🙏

Faultless service

Michelle guided us through a very protracted house sale, she showed infinite patience and worked for our best interests. I must say given the time put in by Michelle the fees were very reasonable and in line with the original quote.

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 will definitely use them again and highly recommend anyone needing conveyancing to contact Coodes
