What are the differences between ground rent and service charge and why does it matter?
Buying a leasehold property comes with financial obligations that freeholders rarely have and two of the most misunderstood are ground
I am a paralegal within the Saffron Walden Residential Property Conveyancing Team. I joined in September 2025 after recently graduating from Anglia Ruskin University with a first-class LLB (Hons), where I developed a strong liking and academic foundation of property law.
My interest in law began in 2021 when I studied Applied Law at A-levels and knew that I wanted to pursue it as a career. Once I joined Anglia Ruskin University, I started volunteering as a student advisor within the Law Clinic (pro bono) and then evolved in my role to Student Supervisor. Volunteering in the Law Clinic was an amazing experience, as it opened me up to many opportunities, such as ‘Support@Court’, where I was able to provide information and moral support to individuals going through the court process. Furthermore, my most recent role before joining Tees was a Legal Administrator within the Right to Buy team in the renewable energy sector, where I gained valuable experience in property-related matters.
Delivering what you need:
I have a passion for Property law and am dedicated to providing efficient, high-quality support to both colleagues and clients.
Outside of work, I really enjoy going to the gym and reading books!
