My father ran his own estate agents for many years so I had an interest in property from an early age. I now have over 20 years’ experience in property law and I’m as enthusiastic today as the day I started out. During that time, I’ve been involved in many different types of transactions, and have met some wonderful clients who have gone on to recommend me to their friends and family. I make buying and selling houses as exciting, enjoyable and stress-free for you as possible. I treat each transaction as if it were my own, so I’ll work in the way that’s best for you. I also work with property developers to bring sites to market and the subsequent plot sales. I’ll assess your requirements early on, so I have a complete understanding of what you may need during a sale or purchase. Laughter is my fuel and my main passion in life is being surrounded by happy and positive people. I enjoy socialising with friends, family and colleagues and like seeing them succeed in their own personal goals and challenges.

I was recommended to instruct Laura Upshall to handle the conveyancing of my recent house move. I am absolutely delighted with the level of service, responsiveness and attention to detail. Very strongly recommended.

property purchase and sale
We were recommended HCR Law and Laura Upshall in person to deal with the sale of our existing house and the purchase of the new one. In comparison to other firms quotes HCR Law appeared significantly more expensive. However the firms reputation for active diligence meant it was the most sensible option and we were not disappointed in anyway. Laura kept us informed of everything we needed to do, regularly reported on progress and chased all parties to ensure the sale went through in the shortest practical time period. Very professional, easy to deal with and a pleasure to talk to.

Smooth process
Just a seamless experience to get to the end of a flat sale. The lease was troublesome and yet I didnt have to endure, being presented with sensible and clear options and ways forward.
Thank you HCR law for getting me here.

Great service on a tricky puchase! Would definitely recommend.
Laura Upshall provided a fantastic service for our house purchase. It was a tricky conveyance, with adverse possession claims, arrangements with neighbouring land to put in place and some old restrictive covenants. She guided us through all of these calmly and professionally and was responsive throughout. Thanks Laura! Would definitely recommend.
