Sarah Ford

Solicitor and Associate Director

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Sarah leads the Residential Property Department and is an Associate Director at Battens, based in our Wareham office. She qualified as a solicitor in July 2011 and focusses exclusively in helping clients with residential conveyancing. She specialises in all types of residential property transactions, including sales, purchases, re-mortgages, transfers of equity and grant of new leases for clients throughout Dorset and further afield. Sarah enjoys a varied and mixed caseload from smaller first-time houses and flats through to million-pound mansions. She has a wide client base ranging from first time buyers, to those upsizing, downsizing and buy to let investors, offering a personal and bespoke service to clients. Sarah also specialises in the sale and purchase of small plots of land, and particularly enjoys dealing with unregistered properties piecing together a title using historic conveyances. She gained her degree in law from the University of Hertfordshire before attending the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE) to gain a post-graduate diploma in legal practice. Examples of cases that Sarah has worked on include: Acting on behalf of a client selling an unregistered property where the title deeds had unfortunately been lost. Prior to the property being placed on the market for sale, the title had to be reconstructed from statements of truth and documentary evidence. Acting on behalf of clients purchasing on a new build development where their plot was the first to be sold. The transaction took longer than anticipated as the paperwork received from the developer’s solicitor needed heavy amendment, but clients were pleased with the attention to detail that was given to the purchase.

Well done, Sarah

Sarah and Daniel did a great job for us. The whole process was handled with courtesy, professionalism and, notwithstanding a few twists and turns, efficiently. Thank you.

Excellent communication!

Sarah recently managed a very tricky house sale for us. Always professional, always calm - even when we were tearing our hair out in frustration! Sarah and her team have helped us on many occasions and she is always there to pick up the phone when you need help, advice or reassurance. Communication is key and she doesn’t disappoint.

Dealt well with micro detail buyers

The normal transaction details were looked after without hitch. The micro detail requested by my buyers was also dealt with professionally.
