Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I am a solicitor specialising in residential property law, with expertise in enfranchisement and property litigation. I’m based primarily in our Crystal Palace office, but I also am available for appointments at our London Bridge, Victoria, and Battersea Power Station offices. My work includes collective enfranchisement, lease extensions, right of first refusal, freehold acquisition of houses, right to manage, absentee landlords, licence for alterations, and service charge and management disputes. I’ve worked in this area of law since I qualified as a solicitor in 2007. I am keen to promote improvements to leasehold law and sit on the Law Society’s Conveyancing and Land Law Committee. I also worked for a year as a policy advisor on leasehold reform with the Department of Levelling Up, Housing, Communities and Local Government.

They proved to be a 'safe pair of hands' throughout

Dona and Helena provided efficient and effective support in securing the permissions required by our freeholder to complete renovation works in our leasehold flat. Their communication throughout was clear and timely, and their manner in dealing with us was professional but also friendly. They proved to be a 'safe pair of hands' throughout, helping to provide some much-needed peace of mind at what was a very stressful time, both in terms of the service provided but also in their kind readiness to answer questions and give reassurance when needed.

Clear, helpful and understandable

I genuinely appreciated the time and care Dona provided in supporting me with the lease extension on my flat, particularly as I was not too familiar with all the steps that needed to be taken. Dona was happy to speak with me, or address my various questions by email, always in a way that that was clear, helpful and understandable. I would have no reservations recommending Dona Awano, and Helena Cavanagh who supported her. Thank you both.

Lease extension

This was a lease extension, I have to say the service I received from Helena and Dona was second to none. They kept me informed at all times and were very flexible with me popping into the office when needed.

Sincere thanks

From the word go, I have been very pleased with the professional service I have received from Amphlett Lissimore. I have just completed on the sale on a Freehold. Dona and Helena have been involved with the transaction. Any queries have been dealt with and responded to very quickly. Dona has advised me on the best course of action to take, and has been very helpful to me. Helena has also responded to phone calls and questions. My sincere THANKS to you both.

Dona and Helen helped me extend my lease. Such a professional service. I used Amphlett to act as solicitors 16 years ago and it was a great service. Hence why I returned and asked them for further help with my other property. I wouldn’t use anyone else. Thank you once again. Highly recommended.
