Building strong commercial relationships and consistently delivering exceptional, technically precise legal documents has established us as a leading law firm in property development on the south coast.

The Bigger Picture: A Partnership

When you begin your project, it may seem somewhat daunting when you consider you’re going to take a piece of land and develop it to achieve your goal. We offer an end-to-end service and proactively go after your best interests, ensuring your time is freed to handle the day-to-day logistics of the project, knowing that the legal side is taken care of.

Our team has a vast amount of experience covering numerous property developments from residential to office, industrial and retail to mixed use.

Getting You Your Return

At Coles Miller we also undertake plot sales on behalf of our clients as we understand that this is the most important part of the whole process, along with understanding when you are likely to get the return on your initial investment. Our diligent working practices ensure that you get the best deal available and that the transaction is as smooth and as quick as possible.

For Kerry Houston-Kypta, Partner:

“Many thanks for guiding us through the sale of land. Also for in helping us to keep realistically within our budget. Our dealings with you both made it a pleasurable and stress-free transaction.”

"As church building contractors we are well used to working on unusual buildings with unique problems to overcome. So, when the opportunity to buy a redundant church to convert to residential apartments came our way, we knew we would need a commercial solicitor that could navigate a very unusual purchase. Having worked with Kerry Houston-Kypta on a similar project 10 years ago, we felt she was the one person who would make sure the complicated process of purchasing from the church of England went smoothly. As always, Kerry was available to answer any questions and offer sound legal advice in her calm and easy to understand manner. We are happy to say we completed last week and Kerry will also be assisting us with the development finance, drawing up all the leases and providing the sales conveyancing. We would have no hesitation in recommending Kerry to any property developers looking for excellent service, sound advice and competitive fees."

"I would also like to express my gratitude for your professionalism, support and patience in dealing with this matter and the speed with which you managed to complete the work when finally you were provided with the undertaking. Thank you again for all your help. It is very much appreciated."

For Charlotte Lilley Solicitor:

“Coles Miller were a real help during our move. They weren't just efficient and helpful, they were proactive. Charlotte Lilley helped us to buy with confidence by identifying several important issues in the early stages. I'd like to extend my thanks to Charlotte for keeping the transaction moving, in what were very difficult times for everybody. I would recommend Charlotte without reservation."

"We were very happy and satisfied with the service we received from Charlotte and her team. Charlotte and her team were patient and displayed full of professionalism. I will certainly recommend them to others."
