Louise Alexandra Lyddiatt Consultant Solicitor Residential and Commercial Property
I have been a solicitor for over ten years, having qualified in Maidenhead, Berkshire after completing a Law degree in Southampton followed by a Legal Practice Course that I studied part-time whilst working as a property paralegal in Guildford, Surrey. I was extremely fortunate to have gained top-tier training on a one-to-one basis by a team of expert solicitors in their respective fields.
I then qualified, specialising in Residential and Commercial Property. Following several years in Berkshire, I relocated to live close to my family in Nottingham gaining further experience in all aspects of Residential and Commercial Property work. My work over the years has included dealing with:
- Residential and commercial sales and purchases
- Freehold and leasehold properties
- Shared ownership properties
- Transfers of equity
- Equity releases
- Help to buy sales and purchases
- Retirement properties
- Acquisitions of small parcels of land
- Transfers of part
- Legal charges
- Deeds of variation
- Commercial leases
- Lease extensions
- and nearly anything and everything that is involved with transactional residential and commercial property work
In my spare time, I enjoy walking, going to the gym, doing a variety of home workouts, dinner parties, dining out, drinking nice wine, travelling to new places, and days out with my family and friends.
