Whether you are buying a single residential property for investment or a piece of open land, I am here to give you the advice and assistance you require. I work to extremely tight deadlines and always endeavour to complete your matter in a timely manner whilst making sure that your interests are fully protected.

Commercial Property – Costs

My fees are extremely competitive. I will always provide you with a “best estimate” of fees at the beginning of your matter, so that you can budget properly.

Alternatively, if you prefer, I can fix fees with you, so that you are guaranteed in knowing that my fees will not increase later on, even if your matter becomes more time-consuming or complex than originally anticipated.

Experience

Senior Consultant Solicitor.

Following on from my time as a founding Partner in Gruber Garratt, I joined Abacus Solicitors LLP in May 2014, as a Senior Consultant. I was looking for a new challenge after working for over 30 years in the firm I helped to build and Abacus Solicitors was the perfect fit.

Since starting in May 2014, I have settled into Manchester city life well (after 30 years in Ashton under Lyne) and I am thoroughly enjoying my time with the fantastic team in the firm.

I set up and managed a thriving Commercial Property team, managing some of the most complex matters whilst building a strong reputation in the industry as well as with clients I worked with.
