  • About me

  • Memberships

I am an Associate Solicitor in our Residential Property Department based in St Albans. I assist Partners, Caroline Hume and Tom Caterer with their caseloads which helps progress cases as quickly as possible.

I deal with many aspects of residential conveyancing, including sales and purchases of both freehold and leasehold properties, transfers of equity and re-mortgages.

Adopting a proactive approach, I keep clients fully informed of the progress in their property matter. If faced with any challenges, I ensure my clients are kept updated, as well as offering the solutions available.

Furthermore, I understand the importance of maintaining clear lines of communication with other solicitors and estate agents alike, enabling the transaction to proceed as smoothly as possible.

I joined Taylor Walton in 2014.

  • LLB from Brunel University
  • LPC from the College of Law
  • Diploma in Professional Legal Practice

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We had 2 very tricky sales over the last 18 months which concerned dealing with the Land Registry and boundaries. Heather was given the task of sorting out all the various issues, to enable these sales to complete. Heather had the knowledge, and also the patience to deal with the boundary issues, to enable us to complete. She also had patience, to deal with me in particular, as some of the information went over my head! We are very pleased to have had her expertise and guidance, and therefore would ask for her help again, without hesitation. – Client Testimonial

Heather was handling the sale of our property and can only say she has the patience of a saint! Totally professional at all times, always available to discuss any queries, and ensuring we were aware of the process at all times! – Client Testimonial

As first-time buyers, we had a lot to learn about the home-buying process, and we’re incredibly grateful to have had Heather guiding us every step of the way. She took the time to clearly explain each stage, what was required from us, and what to expect next. What stood out most was her accessibility and willingness to answer all of our questions, no matter how small they seemed. Heather’s support made the entire process feel like a true team effort, and it was truly reassuring to know we had such a knowledgeable and dedicated professional in our corner. – Client Testimonial

Heather, who steered me through the complexities with an astounding degree of diligence, deserves a special mention. It was always a pleasure to speak with her and gain new knowledge. After 41 years of having not moved house, I needed a thorough education, which she provided in spades – communicating clearly and simply with a timeliness that put the other parties’ solicitors into the shade. – Client Testimonial
