Hannah Airey
Hannah joined the firm in 2008 wanting to advance her knowledge of conveyancing and property matters whilst finishing her Open University Law Degree where she has so far gained excellent grades in all her assignments.

Whilst still working under supervision and tuition Hannah has eagerly familiarised herslf with all the basic features of residential conveyancing with a high level of responsibility.

The Land Registry has introduced several new procedures, forms and documents which Hannah has easily and confidently brought within her grasp.

The downturn in property and conveyancing matters starting in 2008 has meant that Hannah has been able to start her career with a relatively light caseload - which has enabled all matters to receive especially thorough attention from the start.
