"I am currently undertaking my next challenge, supported by Watermans, by taking on the Law Society Pre-PEAT Training route to obtain my Solicitor Qualification.
"I love my job, especially handling older title deeds and learning the history of a property. Client interaction is key and I always strive to give my clients the best possible service throughout.
"Watermans have made me feel extremely welcome and I look forward to getting the know the full team and seeing what the future holds!"
What do you get up to outside of work?
"My husband and I are keen travellers and try to visit at least one new country each year in the hope of completing our "scratchy map"! We have three children between us and a mad springer spaniel called Merlin, all of which keep is on our toes."

Easy and Simple Process
"I used Watermans to purchase my first property. I am very happy to report that Shawn and the team made the process very easy and simple to follow. Communication was quick and clear for me to understand. I recommend their services and would definitely use them again. Thanks to all involved for making it happen!"
