Deal

Deal
Drafting of conditional contracts, conditional on planning, and the approval of certain other agreements for example the form of 106. As to planning, being aware of the client’s requirements with regard to they type of planning was also a necessity, whether outline, to then go on to be challenged at reserved matters stage, in order to enable the RP to avoid 106 contributions, hence successfully negotiating their absence and need to be a party to the relevant 106 on that occasion.

What do my clients say?
“All of my instructions are derived from “word of mouth” referrals. I spend nothing on advertising. For example, a new job came in very recently, which came from a new client who was referred by an existing client. This really is the ultimate compliment as to my expertise” Zoe Tranter
Give something back – pro bono
“Where I can I try and take at least one matter on a pro bono or low fee basis for somebody who genuinely needs help where they could not ordinarily afford good legal advice. It is not financial gain that is a driving force, but more, a matter of some situations offending my sense of fair play, for which I feel compelled to step in and provide help to such individuals” Zoe Tranter
