About me

Real estate and commercial property appeal to me because I like to get deals done. I do my best to protect your interests while striking the deal, working effectively and professionally to give you the most efficient service I can.

I really enjoy my role and I think that comes across to my clients who tell me I’m calm, knowledgeable and approachable. I’ll talk you through the matter without using legal jargon, and I’m available whenever you need to reach me.

I work with a number of people and businesses including banks and borrowers on real estate finance transactions, as well as vendors, purchasers, landlords, tenants and developers. I’ll always go above and beyond what’s expected of me to solve any problems that crop up.

I have two passions in life; my family, and my work, especially the team around me.

Team expertise supports new build industrial unit acquisition

When a safety footwear business needed storage and warehousing to support its growth, they were able to find the expert advice across the real estate team to handle all the commercial property, construction, planning and regulatory issues linked to the storage units, including negotiations with national developers. We were able to help them to acquire four large new build industrial units close to motorway access over eight years – three on a long leasehold and one on a medium-term lease. We handled the extensive documentations and the negotiations, providing a seamless service. Mark Carter and Laura Greenman both contributed. The client said: “Many thanks for once again leading us through the labyrinth of acquiring the lease … every time I forget the complexities and pitfalls. But no matter what comes up, you resolve it, and do so fast enough to maintain momentum. “The more we dabble in property the more I understand the value of true professionals on our side. Many thanks for another excellent result.”
