Testimonials

Thank you for a very helpful and informative online meeting

I am so glad that I chose Coffin Mew! Aimie O’Leary was such a good solicitor that was so thorough. Her assistant Tracey was also excellent and kept us up to date at all times. I would highly recommend this solicitors, especially for first time buyers, as I felt at ease that everything was taken care of at all times. Thank you again Aimie and Tracey!

I wanted to drop you a note of thanks and to acknowledge the quality of the service provided by Aimie and Tracey. This was a difficult and complex transaction with a weak firm acting for the vendors. What was clear to me was the extent to which Aimie drove the deal and managed the other firm’s shortcomings in order to deliver. Aimie’s expertise really stood out, and at times she protected me against myself. I think that’s the mark of a good lawyer; sometimes telling you things you don’t want to hear, but at all times mitigating risk and offering solutions. Please pass on my thanks and thank you all once more for a job well done.

Another transaction completed, with the characteristic Coffin Mew combination of seemingly effortless professionalism paired with a refreshingly human touch. You made everything as easy as it could be. I have used Coffin Mew on two separate occasions and both times the level of service and support was outstanding. They communicated clearly and regularly and I was always kept up to date with the progress of my purchase. I would definitely use Coffin Mew again and would have no hesitation recommending them to friends and family.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Salih Ozdemirciler at Coffin Mew, Brighton has brilliantly handled the sale of my late sister’s house. A complicated sale on a very tight timeframe was processed extremely efficiently and effectively. The costs charged were very reasonable – excellent value for money.

J Humby, 2019

As an estate agent I can confidently say that Salih gives a great service and goes above and beyond to ensure the clients transaction runs smoothly and successfully. Salih is very knowledgeable and experienced and I would never hesitate to recommend him to my clients.

C Trott, 2019

First time I used Coffin Mew for conveyancing. I’ve used their other departments via my business and have always been impressed with the service so thought I’d use their Brighton conveyancing team for the sale and purchase of two properties. I have to say they’ve been absolutely fantastic. Salih was very proactive and nothing was too much trouble for him. Costs were agreed upfront and were competitive and fair. I would highly recommend their services.

S Bond, 2019

When you are dealing with contracts and heads of terms with what I would say is company jargon, if there is anything we haven’t understood they put it simply for us in language terms we understand

Joey Appleton – Private Client, 2019

Salih helped me to purchase my first home, and I couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor. His calm, meticulous but fast approach to his work was second to none. He caught many details that even the seller’s own solicitor had not considered and never backed down to pressure from the chain. Sal always made sure he did the right thing and talked me through every step of the way through a very stressful and pressured sale.

Miss P, 2019

Recently used Coffin Mew to purchase a flat and can not recommend them enough, in particular Rafiq Sumra. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He kept me completely informed at every stage and was readily available to answer any questions that arose. Fantastic service. Thank you.

S. Keylock, 2019

Thank you for all your hard work and help with getting me and my family into our new first home. Thank you Elisabeth Smith and her team!

Mr L, 2019

We have been clients of Coffin Mew over many years for house moves which speaks for itself. The service has been excellent with more than satisfactory results on each occasion.
