Lorraine Wilde—Parrott & Coales

New recruit for property team

Parrott & Coales LLP has further expanded its commercial and residential property team with the appointment of solicitor Lorraine Wilde to the property team.   

Lorraine has nine years experience in property law. Her training and experience started when working for a major law firm in London where she stayed for five years before joining a solicitors in Maidenhead. She specialises in all matters related to buying, selling and leasing all types of property but has a particular interest in residential property matters. 

"Working closely with people is what I love to do which is why I was attracted to property law. It's a chance to help people by easing the stress involved in buying and selling, whether it's a home or business premises," says Lorraine. "Ultimately it comes down to good client service and this is why I was attracted to the role at Parrott & Coales. In the past I've worked opposite the firm and so I knew it had a good reputation for delivering an excellent customer experience. This is really important to me so I jumped at the offer to join the team." 

Sarah Plumridge, managing partner of Parrott & Coales, comments: "Last year the UK property market saw considerably growth with property prices increasing by around 7% towards the end of 2014. Growth is predicted for this year, albeit slightly slower, however, with the government's recent stamp duty reforms and the Help to Buy scheme extended to 2020, the market looks likely to remain buoyant for some time. It's therefore important that we continue to grow our property team so we maintain the high standard of care that our clients enjoy and which is why many of them stay with us. We're delighted that someone of Lorraine's experience and calibre is joining us as she will be a real asset to the firm."
