Solicitor at Birkett Long LLP
Laura Finnigan
Solicitor - Senior Associate Solicitor
SRA ID: 377072
I am a Senior Associate Solicitor for the Residential Real Estate team, based in the Chelmsford office, qualified and experienced in assisting clients within all areas of residential property including selling, buying, remortgaging and transfers of equity. I really enjoy the fast paced nature of residential property and helping clients to achieve their ultimate goal, whether that is moving into their dream home or selling property in difficult circumstances. My aim is to guide clients through the process and make it as stress-free as possible. Qualifying as a solicitor in 2006 I have worked both in central London and East Anglia, acting for high-net-worth individuals in high-value transactions. I seek to offer a more bespoke service to my clients, tailored to meet their needs and achieve a strong working relationship. I enjoy adventures with my family, whether it’s day trips or holidays – we particularly love exploring the North Norfolk coast. When we are not adventuring, I am a member of a local book club and love to curl up with a good book at the end of a busy day.

Conveyancing for Wix Abbey
Laura has been exceptionally professional and a pleasure to work with throughout a relatively complicated purchase with multiple titles and land registry issues. Laura manages the process very well with us as well as the vendors solicitors whilst also managing the sale of another property and refinancing a third one. We could not have been happier with Laura’s considerable efforts.

House selling and purchase
A very busy challenging period for me over many months working with Laura Finnigan (and her team) as my solicitor. It involved selling my property/ renting a property / pulling back from one purchase in another part of the Country and buying a property.

Excellent Service
Laura and her assistant Claire provided an excellent service and communication throughout the process of a transfer of equity process. A query I had was resolved quickly with the assistance of Emma Harper who also assisted our family with a recent bereavement. I highly recommend and will be using in the future.

Purchase of property
We did not have a straightforward purchase, with the first property falling through and some challenges with the second. Laura persistently rose to the challenges we were confronted with professionally and efficiently. She kept us very much in the loop and offered sound advice.
