Thank you for your help. Our sale seemed to become a little bit complicated, but you were so competent and professional throughout, I had no doubt that everything would be ok in the end! The communication was always friendly and timely. Michelle and Jackie were lovely to work with. Our sale was handled calmly and accurately. We felt very happy that we had chosen to work with Coodes and would definitely work with Coodes in the future.

After getting deputyship for my Sister I had to sell her flat, Coodes, especially Michelle and Jackie were brilliant, and If I had any queries or questions I could phone or email and they would always get back to me with the answers I needed. The sale has gone through easily and I can thoroughly recommend them.

Collected on:
My wife and I had legal issues that needed sorting due to being let down by other solicitors. We approached the Penzance branch who were sympathetic to our needs. We needed to go through a few hoops to get to a final solution. Alan Gates was our initial contact and he quickly reassured us that our issues would be sorted. Alan and his colleagues have done an excellent job in taking us through these hoops with a positive result.
We would recommend Coodes in an instant.
A representative from Coodes Solicitors responded to this review on 05 November, 2024:
Thank you, Peter, for your kind words! We’re glad that Alan, Michelle and the team were able to provide the support and reassurance you needed. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

Many thanks to Daryl Pentecost for the excellent conveyancing work he did for us recently. We sold a property at auction which required a Legal Pack with complications and also purchased a new home. Daryl made sure every stage was explained and all ran quickly and smoothly which was much appreciated.
Would highly recommend Daryl to anyone buying or selling property.
Thanks Daryl Steve and Denise Hodgson
