Testimonials
Coffin Mew has a lot of contacts within the property industry. They are able to draw on their own commercial experience from talking to contacts and specialists and can advise on current market practices
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
Every new project brings unique circumstances and our contact partner, Peter Fellows, always invests time to visit us to discuss and explore our ambitions, which leads on to a brief summary illustrating both opportunities and problems. This is a great platform for formalising instructions and working together. The team have taken trouble to get to know us, and the service provided feels tailored very much to our company style, rather than just another client.
The team is particularly good at assisting in complex or unusual property development deals. They are one of the most approachable firms, very down-to-earth, but look at the wider picture.
