Joanna Cox

I would recommend friends and family to Coffin Mew. Jo achieved what I thought was impossible; a 25 day exchange. Given that we were on holiday for half that time, it’s amazing! I feel Jo and her admin team are really committed to getting things done right first time and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity of letting you know.

I would like to take time to recognise Jo Cox’s help and support with our first time property purchase. As you know, the amount of paperwork and processing involved is a lot and can be overwhelming, especially as this was our first purchase, however Jo simplified the process and took us through it step by step. One thing I was grateful for was her communication. I felt she had the time to discuss the case and you really feel like a valued client. She is a credit to the team and I would like to express our gratitude.
