It's a typical solicitor firm in a market town. 60s building with 60s decor and 60s furniture. However, access is easy, parking accessible, friendly company with decent local staff. What else can you say.

Having recently used Cocks Lloyd for the conveyancing process of buying and selling properties I would recommend Emma Billings and her team wholeheartedly and would use again in the future. Her efficiency, response time and thoroughness ensured that we experienced minimum stress throughout the last few months. Thank you Emma!

Emma dealt with my case with patience, professionalism but above all focused on the smaller details to ensure the right outcome was reached. Emma was constructive in sorting my purchase out, and whilst took longer than expected which was out of Emma's hands, we got there in the end. Thank you for a great service, and great value for work put into my case

Three times I've asked for these to call me back in regards to service on behalf of my parent and they have not. My parents have used them for years our of loyalty however I certainly would not use them myself based on my experience
