A fantastic service
From first contact through to completion Coodes have offered a thoroughly professional service. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. Our solicitor Kerry could not have been more efficient, she kept us up to date at all times, patiently explained everything as we went along and impressed us with her attention to detail. I could not recommend her more and will definitely be using her again in the future.
A representative from Coodes Solicitors responded to this review on 28 March, 2025:
Thank you, Colette, for your glowing review! We're so pleased to hear that Kerry and the housing and property team provided you with such a professional and efficient service. We look forward to assisting you again in the future!

I would highly recommend Coodes for house sales and purchases
Lianne Priest is an extremely diligent, knowledgeable lawyer and always answered my questions promptly. She was approachable, professional and an excellent client advocate. I was so very lucky to have her conducting my house sale. My whole experience from the start of the sale through until completion has been a positive one and I cannot thank Lianne and Karen (her fantastic and very knowledgeable, efficient personal assistant) enough. The staff in the St Austell office were also extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly every time documents etc were dropped off. Overall the whole experience of selling my house has been a very positive one thanks to the great Coodes team who helped me. Thank you so much. I would recommend Lianne highly as she goes above and beyond, as does Karen.
A representative from Coodes Solicitors responded to this review on 24 March, 2025:
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, MJ. We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Lianne, Karen, and the team. It's great to know that their professionalism and support made your house sale a smooth process. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
