What working with me means

  1. One solicitor, start to finish

    The legal work on your file is done by me, not passed to a case handler. The person you speak to on day one is the person who completes your purchase or sale.

  2. A direct line, and a reply within a working day

    Call me on 01895 375246 or email. New enquiries get a reply within one working day, and clients hear from me before they have to ask.

  3. There when exchange is close

    Around exchange I take calls in the evenings and at weekends, so a question on a Friday night doesn’t wait until Monday.

Since then I’ve worked in residential property at firms including Fridays Property Lawyers, Parfitt Cresswell, Charles Gregory Solicitors and Ascot Lawyers, acting for buyers, sellers, lenders and developers on everything from first flats to transactions above £5 million.

Questions

What people ask me first

General information, reviewed October 2026. It isn’t legal advice about your situation, and reading it doesn’t make you a client.

More questions answered

Will I deal with you, or a case handler?

With me. I do the legal work on your file myself, from instruction to completion. If I’m away, you’ll be told who is covering and for how long.

What’s the difference between exchange and completion?

Exchange is the point the contract becomes legally binding on both sides and the completion date is fixed. Completion is the day the money moves and you get, or hand over, the keys.

Can I move my transaction to you part-way through?

Usually, yes. I’ll need your authority to collect the file from your current solicitors, and I’ll tell you plainly whether a change would save time or cost it.

For brokers and agents

Referring a client? You’ll know where the file is.

One solicitor on the file, a direct line for you, and an update at five milestones with your client’s agreement: instructed, searches back, mortgage offer received, exchange and completion.
