SAS Daniels LLP

North West firm expands residential property team by six

Cheshire firm SAS Daniels LLP has welcomed six appointments to its residential property teams in the Stockport and Chester offices.

Jane Caldecott, who joins from PLS Solicitors, brings 25 years of experience to the firm, and will take on the role of director of conveyancing operations in Stockport. In the same office, residential conveyancing specialist Scott Mulligan also joins as a senior associate and head of the new build property team.

In addition, Steph Lyke and Robert Champin have joined the firm as licensed conveyancers, based in the Chester and Stockport offices respectively. Katherine Wakley and Angela Fergus have also been appointed as conveyancing assistant and paralegal to support the team in Chester.

Nigel Read, the firm’s head of residential property, said: ‘The property market in the North West for both buyers and sellers is thriving which is great news given the current political climate. With the expansion of the team we can now support even more clients and referrers with their conveyancing and residential property needs. These include co-ownership, leasehold flats, and re-mortgages in addition to buying or selling a new home.’
