Firm adds property specialist to residential team

A property professional who made the switch from an estate agent to a legal career has now completed her move to Rollits.

Amber Deas, pictured above with partner and head of property Neil Franklin, joins the firm’s residential property team, working across the offices in York and Hull.

Amber started out in personnel and training, then moved into property as a sales progressor with Hunters Estate Agents.

She then took up a role as a legal secretary with Cowling Swift and Kitchin in York. As her career progressed, Amber moved into a fee-earning role as a conveyancer, dealing with sales and purchases, transfer of equity, remortgages, and freehold and leasehold sales and purchases.

At Rollits, Amber is based in the York office and working with property colleagues across the firm’s client base, dealing primarily with residential sales and purchases, as well as providing support to the wider property team.

Amber said: ‘I am delighted to be continuing my legal career at Rollits. I’m excited about the opportunity to develop my expertise in conveyancing and be part of a growing residential property team.’

Neil added: ‘We are delighted to welcome Amber to the property department and I look forward to helping her progress as she continues to develop in her new role.’
