House sale

I found the solicitor’s office erratic in their communications both with myself and other solicitors offices. The process was laboured and slow with many prompts being necessary from both myself and the estate agent. I would not recommend these solicitors to other vendors or purchasers.

I am writing to express my experience with Coodes concerning the service I received in October 2020 during the purchase of my first home.

Regrettably, the service offered by Coodes was subpar. Despite promptly settling the final bill upon conclusion, I was recently surprised to receive communication in April 2024 requesting an additional £215 due to an administrative error that occurred more than 40 months after our business was completed.

Though the sum may appear insignificant, I was startled by this unanticipated demand. I chose not to escalate the issue as I perceived no advantage in pursuing it further.

I felt compelled to relay my encounter as a word of caution to others who may contemplate engaging with Coodes in the future.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours sincerely,
Rui

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.
