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.

Great experience
I had the pleasure of working with Laura as my solicitor during the sale of my apartment. She was thorough, communicative, and highly professional throughout the entire process. Laura kept me informed at every stage, making the experience smooth and efficient. I highly recommend her services.

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.

Residential Conveyancing
I have used HCR for business acquisitions in the past and they were always fantastic, and it was an easy decision to use their residential conveyancing team for my new family home purchase. Laura (partner) was my initial point of contact who was so lovely to deal with to agree fees and talk me through the process HCR will take. Nayna; who is new to the team, conducted the majority of the work and was absolutely brilliant throughout the legal process, our sale and purchase undertook. Nayna always kept me up to date with progress, what we were waiting for and what had been completed. Nayna was extremely friendly and professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. John saw us through to exchange of contracts and completion and without his work and influence, I do not feel we would have completed on our new family home as quickly as we did. John also always kept me in the loop with progress and was such a pleasure to work with. HCR as a whole were extremely proactive and always on hand to speak to at a moments notice. I cannot commend Nayna, John and Laura enough for being so easy to get hold of. It is very rare to be able to phone for your solicitor and 9 times of out 10, be able to speak directly to them. I always felt the all had so much time for me and that was never a burden. Thank you to you all for helping my family move in to our dream home.
