I have used Julie, Sarah and the conveyancing team at Cocks Lloyd, twice in the last three years. They have been very professional both times and in the recent case involving a jointly owned property they reacted quickly to facilitate exchange of contracts and completion in one afternoon. To be recommended.

Peter Tracy was great throughout the whole process. He was always quick to respond, easy to talk to, and genuinely open and approachable, which made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. His knowledge and experience were clear, and he explained the legal side of things in a straightforward, practical way that gave me real confidence in his advice.

I just used Cocks Lloyd for both the sale and purchase of houses, its was a lengthy and stressful process, however through out our the solicitors were excellent in keeping us well informed as to what was/was not happening,. Sarah was all ways available on the phone whenever we had a query and was brilliant throughout the exchange of contacts and complication. I would have no hesitation in recommending, Julie and the team.

Dealing with Cocks Lloyd concerning my late Fathers will was trouble free and helpful. The solicitor, Mr. M. Jones, looking after me at our first meeting put me at ease and explained what he was going to do. He answered any questions or concerns I had promptly and in a way I could understand. If I need a solicitor for any reason I will be contacting them again.

As a first-time buyer trying to keep costs down as much as possible, I chose not to use a mortgage broker, which meant handling a lot of the process myself. Cocks Lloyd Solicitors in Nuneaton made this incredibly straightforward. Everything was explained clearly so I always knew what needed to be done and exactly which documents were required. A big thank you to Sue Cliffe, Harpreet Matharu and Linda Ly for making the entire process stress-free on our end!
