Sale of flat

Very happy with the service from Coodes over the sale of our flat. While the buyer's solicitors were rather slow we were fully supported and kept in the picture especially by Lisa Barnett the paralegal working with Sarah Cowley. Lisa was very approachable and helpful at all times.

Coodes Solicitors provided me with expert help, guidance and extensive knowledge during my use of their services. They were extremely professional on every level, while remaining approachable . This allowed me to discuss matters with them that, as a novice were very daunting , to achieve the required outcome on the day. I am very impressed by them and grateful for the work and results provided.
