Coodes conveyancing recruit provides boost to firm’s Liskeard office

Coodes Solicitors has expanded its award-winning conveyancing team in South East Cornwall. Teresa Scoular joins the South West law firm’s Liskeard office, bringing 30 years of conveyancing experience.

Teresa began her conveyancing career in law firms in Berkshire. She moved to Cornwall in 2007 and joins Coodes from the Launceston branch of Parnalls, where she was a residential conveyancing manager.

Over the last three decades, Teresa has built up experience of property sales and purchases, including handling matters relating to freehold, leasehold, registered and unregistered titles.

Teresa lives in Bodmin and, as well as nurturing her allotment, enjoys cooking and walking in the surrounding countryside.

She said: “Having met a number of the Coodes’ team over the years, I knew the firm had a really good reputation and was keen to join when the opportunity arose.

“Cornwall is a really interesting place to be a conveyancer because there is such a wide range of property types here. For me, the best part of the job is the client contact. I enjoy helping people and enabling them to move is very rewarding. I am delighted to join the Coodes team and look forward to working with our clients across South East Cornwall.”

With a network of offices across Cornwall and Devon, Coodes Solicitors’ growing Residential Property team supports clients to buy and sell their home. It offers a number of specialist services for first time buyers, buy to let, affordable housing purchases and equity release mortgages.

The team was recently named Best in Cornwall for the third year in a row at the ESTAS Conveyancing Awards, which are based entirely on customer feedback.

Sarah Cowley, Partner and Head of Residential Property at Coodes Solicitors, said: “I would like to extend a warm welcome to Teresa, who joins our award-winning team at a really exciting time.

“Teresa’s arrival will enable us to support more of our clients in Liskeard and the surrounding area to buy or sell their properties. We are a large regional firm, but know how important it is to offer a local service. Having Teresa in our Liskeard office means we can provide clients in South East Cornwall with a highly experienced locally-based conveyancer.”
