Nicole is a Senior Associate in the Residential Property team.

Nicole deals with a broad range of residential property matters. These include all types of freehold and leasehold sales and purchases, lease extensions, new build properties and re-mortgages.

Based in Cheltenham, Nicole’s clients, referring agents and financial advisors are predominantly in the Gloucestershire area, although she deals with properties throughout England and Wales. Clients include high net worth individuals purchasing family homes to investors widening their property portfolios, transacting a variety of properties whether starter homes, town centre luxury apartments or country houses with land. She is experienced in handling matters with various complex titles, including adverse possession, unregistered land and defective leases. In addition, she advises on lease extensions and variations for sale, purchase and financing purposes; transfers of equity subsequent to separation or divorce and for tax-planning purposes.

Recent examples of how Nicole has supported clients:

  • Securing a client’s dream home by negotiating an exclusivity agreement with the vendors after the sale of the purchasers’ property fell through, completing the subsequent sale to a tight schedule;
  • Saving a client over £20,000 in stamp duty by applying multiple dwellings relief to a property purchase that included a basement flat;
  • Protecting the new owners of a Grade II listed building from potential costly liability for unapproved alterations by insisting the sellers gain retrospective listed building consent rendering the property mortgageable.
