I am a Senior Associate solicitor dealing with residential property work in our Cambridge office.
I began my legal career by qualifying as an Attorney, Notary and Conveyancer in South Africa in 1996. I practised in South Africa until I returned to the UK, in 2001 and after taking a short career break to have children, qualified as a solicitor in 2006. I have worked in Suffolk, Essex and since 2008 I have been in Cambridge. I joined Tees in 2018.
I specialise in all aspects of residential conveyancing including sales, purchase, re-mortgages, new build properties, leaseholds, shared ownership properties, transfers of equity, first registrations, adverse possession claims and Equity Release.
My team and I in the Cambridge office work very closely together on all transactions and pride ourselves on delivering a friendly, personal and professional service to our clients. I work closely with my clients to understand your particular needs to ensure your transaction succeeds. Being part of a full-service law firm offers all clients a wealth of experience and expertise from other departments when needed, such as our Private Client Team, Family Team or Wealth Team and many others

I've used Tees for 15 years, and Julia Turner is always a professional, delivering exceptional service. I highly recommend Tees for reliable house sales/purchases with a great team.
