Switalskis—Sally Ann Masih, Suzy Overton & Jane Beaumont

Trio of recruits strengthens Switalskis residential property team

Law firm Switalskis is continuing the expansion of its residential conveyancing team with the arrival of three new team members.

Experienced conveyancer Sally Ann Masih brings more than 25 years’ experience in residential conveyancing, together with a broad understanding of the home-moving process gained from an earlier career in estate agency. Based at Switalskis’ Huddersfield office, she will support and advise homebuyers and sellers on property transactions across England and Wales.

Having lived and worked in Huddersfield since 1993, Sally Ann has developed extensive knowledge of Yorkshire’s diverse property market, from period homes and converted mill apartments to new-build developments and long leasehold properties.

Sally Ann is joined at Switalskis’ Huddersfield office by conveyancing assistants Suzy Overton and Jane Beaumont. Suzy provides administrative assistance on various aspects of conveyancing, including freehold and leasehold sales and purchases, remortgages and transfers of equity.

Jane brings over 11 years’ experience in the conveyancing industry to the business, supporting the conveyancing team and working with clients to provide guidance and support throughout the house buying and selling process.

Sally Ann says: “Moving home is a big milestone, so it’s important that clients feel informed and supported from start to finish. Everyone in our team understands the different pressures everyone involved is under, which helps us explain the process clearly, manage expectations and keep transactions moving.

"What I enjoy most is getting to know my clients. Every move is different, and I pride myself on being approachable, patient and building relationships that help people feel confident throughout the process. Switalskis shares that focus on personal service while giving me the opportunity to support even more people as part of a highly experienced national team.”

Sarah Cookson, joint head of residential conveyancing at Switalskis, says: “We’re delighted to welcome Sally Ann, Suzy and Jane to the team. Sally Ann has built an excellent reputation throughout West Yorkshire and brings an exceptional breadth of experience, combining years in conveyancing with a strong background in estate agency.

“Suzy provides a friendly and supportive approach to every client, and Jane brings the same people-focussed approach to her work. Both guide clients through their buying and selling transactions with ease. These three new appointments will further strengthen our national conveyancing team, allowing us to continue delivering the personal service our clients value wherever they are based.”
