About Cheryl
Cheryl’s specialism is the conveyancing of newbuild plots for her developer clients helping them achieve the sales of their newbuild plots to their customers which is the last and crucial step in a long process from the initial purchase of the land.

Experience
Plot sales is fast-paced with many deadlines having to be met for both exchange of contracts and completions, particularly in peak times such as Christmas, Easter and Bank Holidays where many sales are completed on the same day. Advance preparation is essential in such cases as well as receiving up to date information from buyers’ solicitors to ensure the transactions run smoothly.
