Conveyancing Services provided by Coodes Falmouth
I approached Coodes to assist with the sale of a buy-to-let leasehold in London. A competitive fee was offered (I do compare other quotes). At every stage the Falmouth branch was most helpful (Kerry obviously setting the standard for and leading the wider team. All matters were dealt with expeditiously and the workloads on ourselves minimal.
In summary first class service and happy to recommend this team to neighbours and associates (I speak as a Chartered Accountant providing professional services to clients many years ago. Well done Coodes !!!
