Your focus on personal service and sustainable growth closely matches the environment in which I do my best work.
My background in conveyancing has seen me manage a caseload of over 50 active files, handling freehold and leasehold purchases, re-mortgages, transfers of equity and help to buy transactions. I am comfortable working with both registered and unregistered titles and am experienced in post-completion formalities including SDLT returns and Land Registry applications.
