Alex began her career in property over 15 years ago in the lettings industry, and has since gained expertise across both property sales and purchase transactions. Alex joined the conveyancing team at Watermans in 2024, and took up the position of Head of Purchase in late 2026.
"The best part of my job is being part of someone's purchase journey and delivering the good news of an offer being accepted."
"Outwith work I am in full-time mum mode! Most of my free time is taken up chasing after my 2 year old and spending as much time with him as possible. I do love a holiday though and travelling is something I love to do."
Best Thing About the Job

Everything Went Smoothly
"As first time buyers unfamiliar with the approach and process , Alex really supported us through to getting an offer accepted .Alex was very responsive, friendly, and great at answering all our questions. She really put us at ease, guiding us through each step so we knew exactly what was happening, what we needed to do, and what was next. We couldn’t have been happier with Alex."
