Dreadful, lazy and devious, avoid like the plague

Cooklaw were recommended by the company I was buying a house from in the northeast (Keepmoat Homes) so I also used them with my property sale. They were OK to begin with, then over a 7-week period, they stopped replying to all my emails asking for updates. It took seven phone calls to finally speak to Richard - and on that day, my sale fell through. He seemed unconcerned and offered no apology or sympathy. It was almost as if it was a deliberate lack of care and utter incompetence. During the process, they even told my buyer's solicitor that there was work due to be done on my apartment building, which made the buyer drop out. The only problem being that it was a complete lie - I checked with the building management and they said it wasn't true. Why Cooklaw effectively sabotaged my sale/purchase I may never know. Avoid like the plague. They deserve no stars.

Worst customer service I’ve ever…

Worst customer service I’ve ever received. During the 2+ months that Demi was supposedly handling my late Fathers will she did not return a single call. She ignored our questions and requests for advice and failed to give a reason. Her emails were contradictory and it was impossible to get a straight answer about anything.Living abroad I found the whole experience very frustrating and we ended up hiring another firm who were able to answer all our questions right away. She made a very difficult time in our lives even worse

Absolutely amazing

Richard, Adam, Anne & Megan were absolutely amazing!

Super friendly, amazing at keeping us updated (before we could even ask) and clearly experts in their field.

After a failed buying process last year, they were exactly what we needed to keep the purchasing process stress to a minimum

Thank you so much ☺️

We used Cooklaw in Sunderland for our recent rental property purchase. It was a repossession and so there was quite a lot of information missing!! Dan Parker was very helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. He was very calm and helped to put our minds at rest when it seemed like the process wasn’t going anywhere! We will definitely be using the firm again soon and will request Dan to help us again if possible! The whole team were very professional from the outset! Thank you all for your help!! Lynne & Tom

My wife and I used Cooklaw.

My wife and I used Cooklaw for a House purchase in Cramlington, and they were very helpful. The paperwork was very straight forward and all handled via email. I have not purchased a home before and found it very straight forward. As with all House purchases, at times it can be frustrating waiting for things to happen, but all went well. Thanks again Danyal for everything.

I used cook law to help buy a second property. Initially I dealt with Mark Cook the founder who was very helpful, honest and upfront from the start about all the costs involved and realistic timescales. I then worked with Dan who was very helpful in supporting in further areas regarding stamp duty. I would definitely recommend.
