This is my second time using Sophie for conveyancing purposes. She is excellent. She always pays a lot of attention to the details and does her very best for her clients offering valuable advice. She is so friendly and easy to talk to. I wouldn't go to anyone else. She doesn't hang around and gets the job done. A great asset to Coodes. I really can't praise her enough.
A representative from Coodes Solicitors responded to this review on 10 December, 2024:
Dear Helen, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear Sophie’s attention to detail, valuable advice, and friendly approach made your experience so positive once again. She truly is an asset to Coodes, and we’re grateful for your continued trust. Best regards, Coodes LLP

This is the second time i have used coodes, the first was the purchasing of a property, the second was the sale of a property. Both times have been hassle free and i have been kept up todate with the progress throughout the processes. I would highly recommend Karen Jones and will be using her services again in the future.

Collected on:
Coodes provided an excellent service to help me sell my home. Kerry Tresidder was always very punctual, and worked hard to ensure that my home was sold when a strict timeframe was imposed upon the sale. Kerry also provided key advice and guidance that helped me to prioritise what I needed to do to prevent any delay to the sale process.

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!

Dear Jerry Thank you so much for this lovely review. We were delighted to be able to help you at what can be a stressful time. Regards. Coodes

Beyond useless, had the sad misfortune of thinking coodes were any good, i needed help against cornwall council social services who were illegally funding my late Mums care fees. I could not meet them face to face (even though covid was passed), always chasing, the communication was appalling and by e-mail(you ask 3 questions and may get a reply for one). When the judge set deadlines and the council were not adhering to them i told coodes to notify the court, they kept saying"oh we willgive them a bit longer", eventually i had to contact the court myself as coodes and the councils solicitors had agreed to "push back" a judges deadline by 4 weeks. I applied with a N244 to get the case thrown out because the council were breaking judges deadlines, at the hearing the judge agreed with me that the council had breached the deadlines and had no legal reason for doing this, when i stated i had an instruction from my solicitors(coodes) that both parties had agreed to move a "judges deadline" which is not allowed, the councils barrister pointed out it was in fact coodes that had asked for this?. The judge denied the councils barristers costs and said it was the councils fault she was in court today and i was quite within my rights to bring the matter to the courts attention, but coodes had let me down, unbelievable, i had been asking coodes to notify the court and they never had the decency to tell me it was them who had broke the judges orders on this occasion making it one all so to speak. They thensaid they could not represent me as any trust had gone so threw me under the bus, head of department Mel grose also informed me she had done something she shouldn't have by contacting the council head lawyer Alan perry direct as she felt the case was being handled by juniors and that he could"give them a nudge to speed things up". They also refused tme any access to all the evidence they were holding about the casewhich some had been sent direct to them with my permission. Obviously they have their reasons for not wanting to go against the council. I would recommendthat if they were the only solicitors in Cornwall that you contact one in Devon
