I have dealt with Lisa Barnett at Coodes Penzance for a number of years now and I could not recommend the service highly enough. My general experience with solicitors in the past has been extremely poor, never treated like a customer, sometimes even with contempt and very disorganised, which seems extraordinary considering the costs. Lisa is completely the opposite, brilliant prompt communication, always helpful and friendly, you really do feel like a customer and really goes the extra mile for you. Sarah as well has always been very helpful.
A representative from Coodes Solicitors responded to this review on 15 April, 2025:
Thank you for your kind words and continued trust in Lisa and the team. We're so pleased to hear you've had such a positive experience and truly appreciate your recommendation!

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.
A representative from Coodes Solicitors responded to this review on 10 February, 2025:
Thank you for your wonderful review, Debbie! We're so pleased to hear that Michelle and Jackie were able to provide you with the support and answers you needed throughout the sale of your sister’s flat.

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
