Suzanne Hughes
Consultant Chartered Legal Executive

I am a qualified Chartered Legal Executive Lawyer and have been working in conveyancing since 2013, dealing with both residential and commercial transactions. I started my legal career as an office junior at a firm in Leeds and then trained as a legal secretary before self-funding my legal studies and graduating in 2008. I was previously the head of department for a firm in Preston, Lancashire, overseeing a team of 13 staff. 

Matters I cover include:

  • Freehold and leasehold sales and purchases
  • Registered and unregistered land
  • New build purchases
  • Sale and purchase of development property/land (including multiple plot sales/purchases)
  • Acquisitions and disposals of commercial property
  • Commercial leases
  • Transfers of Equity and matrimonial transfers
  • Probate, attorney and matrimonial sales
  • Buying and selling at auctions
  • Buying and selling park homes
  • Investor portfolio sale/purchase/remortgage
  • Declaration of Trusts
  • Remortgages/financing/refinancing/bridging loans
  • Rectification of title
  • Independent Legal Advice (ILA) for Personal Guarantees associated with finance transactions
  • Individuals and companies

I have dealt with transactions of all types, from the transfer of a 12' square piece of land for a few hundred pounds to multi-million pound transactions. I have also remortgaged a client’s portfolio of 180 properties. No job is too big or too small. 

I represent individuals and companies in securing buildings or land of any description, size or quantity - whether you are a first time buyer excited about purchasing your own home, a seasoned buy to let investor selling/remortgaging your portfolio or purchasing your 100th property, maybe you want to buy a plot of land in order to build your dream home, or you want to purchase an office block or other commercial building, I will deal with the process smoothly and effortlessly giving you time for the important things... like picking out furnishings or finding tenants.

I live in Lancashire but act for clients throughout the UK and am available to speak to outside the normal 9-5 office hours.

Outside of work, I like spending time with my dog and cat and also painting landscape and abstract art in oil and acrylic mediums. I am also a DJ in a local pub on a weekend.

Please feel free to contact me for a quotation or simply an initial discussion. I look forward to working with you on your upcoming property transaction.
