SRA ID: 625872

I am a Solicitor specialising in both residential property and private client work. I joined the firm in September 2015 as a trainee solicitor and successfully qualified in 2017. Since qualifying, I have built up a good client base and connections in Bramhall where I am now permanently based. During my time in practice with the firm, I have developed a client-friendly approach to my work and I relish in building up a relationship with my clients from the outset. It is always a pleasure to see the matter resolved successfully in the hope that one day that client will return for another legal issue. I deal with all aspects of residential conveyancing including; Sales and purchases of both freehold and leasehold properties; Acting for Companies on residential matters Re-mortgages; Transfers of equity; Unregistered land; Plot / New build purchases; Shared ownerships; Freehold reversions; Adverse Possession I also enjoy assisting clients with Wills, Probate, Powers of Attorney and Court of Protection matters. This includes taking part on behalf of the firm in Charity Wills, namely the Will Aid scheme. It is rewarding to give my time up in the knowledge that the clients and I are supporting leading charities in the country. Prior to becoming a qualified solicitor, I studied Law at Lancaster University, before then going on to complete my Legal Practice Course at the University of Law in Chester.

Selling my property

5

I instructed Butcher and Barlow to sell my property and have to say the service they gave me was outstanding. What should of been a simple transaction proved to be really difficult due to the buyers solicitor, this was no reflection on Butcher and Barlow at all, they kept my informed on progress and responded to all of my questions when I asked them. Ella Woodie was my main contact and found her to be polite, helpful and understanding of my frustrations. I will certainly use Butcher and Barlow again for my future purchases and sales.

Hassle Free Conveyancing

5

Butcher and Barlow dealt with the legalities regarding the sale of my old house and purchase of my new home. It was quite a convoluted affair involving banks and receivers. We got there in the end, and Butcher and Barlow, and Mathew in particular from the Bramhall office deserve much praise. The service I received was reasonably priced and thoroughly professional, a straight 10/10 from me.

Matthew was amazing!

We found Matthew at Butcher and Barlow to be professional and a clear communicator. I had very little knowledge of what we needed to sort out and Matthew made sure I understood everything. Emails were responded to promptly and Matthew went above and beyond to sort out our move.

Should we be moving in the future, we will be seeking him out again!

House Purchase

5

I strongly recommend Butcher and Barlow as expert conveyancers. They were prompt, proactive and professional at all times. In particular I was impressed at how efficient they were in securing the searches from the Local Authority at a time when LAs are under severe pressure. I wouldn't hesitate to make use of their services in future.

Many thanks to Matthew Watson who dealt with the purchase of our house in Cornwall and various complications involved. Friendly cheerful and professional. He also knew well the area we were moving to which was an added bonus! Thanks Matthew.
