Biography

I joined Tees in 2018 and I am a Solicitor in the commercial property team based in Saffron Walden.

Delivering what you need

I strive to provide clients with a service that focuses on individual needs and to find a commercially viable solution. I have experience acting for both Landlords and Tenants in leasehold transactions, whether you are looking to renew your lease or perhaps vary an existing lease. I am on hand to assist and guide you with any queries that you may have.

I have also dealt with recording public rights of way over land and making various applications to the Land Registry, including first registrations and applications for prescriptive easements.

Further information

I attained a 2:1 in Law LLB from the University of Leicester in 2018. I particularly enjoy drawing upon the research skills gained during my studies to find solutions to problems.

Outside of work I play for a local six-aside football team that I also manage. I also enjoy participating in running events when I can.

Client testimonials:

“Just to say my thanks to Tees for handling my sale of the St Ives property. Sam did a good job for me, worked very efficiently and kept me regularly in contact with what was going on”    

“Thank you for all the work you did on this lease agreement. Your support has been invaluable.”

“I too would like to thank Sam for seeing this through to conclusion. It was a dreadful process but extremely important to the survival of the church. We’d never have got this over the line without your support.”
