I am a Paralegal in the Residential Department based in the Bishop’s Stortford office. I became a Paralegal in June 2019, having previously been a Senior Client Care Leader within the Residential Team. I provide legal assistance to our team of solicitors throughout a transaction, dealing with files at exchange through to completion. I have gained a wealth of experience during my years at Tees which allows me to support our clients throughout their various property transactions.
I understand that the residential process can prove a little overwhelming, be that for a first time buyer, someone who hasn’t moved for many years or a regular seller and/or purchaser. I aim to make the process as smooth and easy as possible for each individual client and appreciate that no two transactions are the same.

Christina Ciccarelli (and team) have gone out of their way to ensure that our house move has been as smooth as possible. Always efficient and professional and kept us informed every step of the way. I would definitely recommend their services.
