Michael Fawcett
Consultant Property Lawyer

Michael John Fawcett is a dedicated and highly experienced Licensed Conveyancer with over 20 years of expertise in residential sales, purchases, re-mortgages, and various other property-related transactions. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and deep understanding of conveyancing law, Michael has successfully navigated complex property cases and has a proven track record of delivering exceptional service to clients.

Michael began his career with Angela Viney Conveyancing Services, where he quickly rose from a trainee conveyancer to managing a branch office, demonstrating his leadership skills and deep commitment to the field. His tenure at Angela Viney provided him with a solid foundation in handling diverse conveyancing transactions, including adverse possession claims, freehold & leasehold properties, and first registrations.  The area where Michael works is renowned for properties with a flying freehold element, so he is very experienced in that aspect of a transaction.

In March 2014, Michael joined Finn Gledhill Solicitors, where he continued to hone his skills and expand his knowledge. His comprehensive understanding of the conveyancing process, coupled with his ability to manage complex transactions with efficiency and professionalism, has earned him a stellar reputation in the industry.

He remains committed to offering top-tier conveyancing services and continuously seeks to expand his expertise to provide even greater value to his clients. Michael's long-standing career in conveyancing is a testament to his dedication and skill in the field.

Michael is now thrilled to bring his extensive experience and unwavering commitment to excellence to the Setfords team, where he looks forward to helping clients achieve their property goals with confidence and ease.
