North West law firm welcomes licensed conveyancer to team

Ramsbottom resident, Diane Penlington, has recently started a new legal chapter as a Licensed Conveyancer with North West law firm, Butcher & Barlow in their Prestwich office.

Diane (pictured) worked for her previous firm for 33 years, working her way up the ladder from a secretarial role to achieving professional qualifications in conveyancing—her favourite part of the role is working directly with clients.

Utilising her experience in the conveyancing sector, Diane will help local people to understand complex legal matters when buying, selling and re-mortgaging residential property.

Commenting on her appointment, Diane said: 'After so many years in the industry, I have worked with Butcher & Barlow on transactions on numerous occasions and have always been impressed with the service and support they offer their clients.

'After my youngest son left home for university and having worked for the same firm for 33 years, I felt like it was time for a new challenge, and I’m delighted to be joining Butcher & Barlow’s Residential Property team.

'I really enjoy speaking to clients and guiding them through any complications or complex legal structures. Buying and selling property can be a momentous, life-changing moment.

'If there is a problem, I've always found working collaboratively and sharing the decision making with clients is the best way forward and as this is exactly the ethos at Butcher & Barlow, I feel we are a good match.'

Lynsey Stuchfield, Head of Residential Property said: 'We are delighted to welcome Diane to the team, especially as she has so many years’ experience guiding clients through a process that can sometimes be complex and frustrating.

'I am sure that Diane’s experience and personable manner will bring great comfort to many clients across Prestwich and the surrounding area, and we are delighted to welcome her to the team.'
