Samantha Houlden

Partner, Joint Head of Residential Property

Why choose me

Although property law wasn’t my first choice of practice area, I love the wide variety of property transactions I get involved in. I have a vast amount of experience in all aspects of non-contentious property law, including a full range of residential and commercial property related matters. This means that no two days are the ever same.

I act for a variety of individual and corporate residential and commercial clients. This gives me exposure to a hugely diverse range of people, some of whom are going through one of the most stressful experiences a person can encounter and, therefore, it’s important that my approach and advice is tailored to meet each individual client’s needs. My role can be extremely challenging at times but delivering pragmatic solutions and exceeding client’s expectations is what I enjoy most about the work I do.

My clients say I am approachable, responsive and accessible. They are often surprised when they receive an email or telephone call from me outside of office hours or over the weekend. I listen to what my clients need and do what I can to make their transaction as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Questions my clients ask me

This depends on a number of things, including how quickly your mortgage application is processed and your offer is issued, how quickly your survey is undertaken, the turnaround time for your search results, the complexity of the chain but, most importantly, efficiency of the other parties in the chain act – the chain can only move forward when everyone is ready.

Read what my clients say about me

Neither our sale nor our purchase was straightforward and Samantha was fantastic throughout. Calm, efficient, intelligent and yet somehow she kept a sense of humour that was entirely appropriate and at times necessary for our sanity! I would not hesitate to recommend the team at HCR Hewitsons.

Client testimonial Sale and Purchase

I truly appreciate your attention to detail and your guidance during what could have been a much more complicated process. Thanks to your efforts, we were able to get everything done smoothly, and I’m very grateful for your help.

Client testimonial Residential property

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for all the hard work and support throughout the process of purchasing the flat. I know there were some stressful moments along the way, but your professionalism and dedication helped us navigate through and successfully complete the transaction.

Client testimonial Flat purchase

We just wanted to thank you for the work you completed in relation to our recent house move and, in particular, Samantha‘s support when things with our proposed purchase were a little tricky.

We are so pleased that we didn’t pursue the purchase of the apartment and we have now found a property to rent which will give us the opportunity to live back in Cambridge and make sure that this is where we want to eventually buy a property.
