"Ellie and her team provided a highly professional service throughout this difficult period for me and my wife. She was understanding, worked closely with us, and responded promptly to the developments as they happened. She presented the situation sympathetically but honestly and left no stone unturned to achieve a final successful outcome."

"Massive thank you to you and everyone else at Michelmores. You somehow manage to take much of the stress out of moving!"

Client

I am an Associate in the Residential Property team at Michelmores. After graduating from the University of Exeter, I went on to obtain a distinction in the Legal Practice Course combined with a Masters in Legal Practice at the University of Law in Bristol. I trained at another South West practice, before moving to Michelmores in July 2019.

I undertake a broad range of residential property work including acting for high net worth individuals and companies (both overseas and UK) in sales, purchases, remortgages, lease extensions and deeds of variation.

I pride myself on providing an impeccable service to all clients – from those taking their first step on the property ladder to those building their portfolio of investment properties – with the aim of forming client relationships which last.

Having lived, studied and worked in Devon all of my life, I have a particular interest in rural property and have gained broad experience acting on the acquisition of properties across the South West.

I have strong referral contacts across the South West, Bristol and London, with developers, brokers and estate agents.
