  • Transfers of equity.
  • New build.
  • SDLT requirements, including relevant reliefs and exemptions, in residential conveyancing matters.

  • The impact of restrictions and cautions lodged against a property and how these might be removed.
• Strong team management skills with the ability to develop, coach and mentor junior team members.
• Proven track record of winning new business and developing strong relationships with estate agents & brokers.

PERSONAL APTITUDE & SKILLS:

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, written and verbal.
