- successfully adapting a conveyancing template involving grants of rights of way, sewerage, and communal facilities for a housing association’s pilot voluntary right to buy scheme; and
- the timely and efficient preparation of purchase documentation for multiple clients in the first phases of an over-55s development, leading to new instructions by the seller on the sale of the subsequent phases.
