Legal eagles land at Vincents

A new legal team has been announced by Vincents Solicitors in Longridge, near Preston.

New hire Nazreen Ali will lead conveyancing and residential property at the branch, while private client services will be provided by Rebecca Perkes, who has relocated from the firm’s Garstang office.

Clients requiring family law advice will be able to visit the Longridge office to meet with the head of the firm’s family department, partner Mark Mosley.

The new team has been handpicked to ensure Longridge clients can receive the full range of high street legal services directly from the branch.

Mosley, who is also a director at the Preston headquartered firm, said: “Longridge has a long-established reputation for residential conveyancing.

“We have always been able to help clients with other requirements with staff from our other offices.

“However, as more clients have been asking with support for wills and lasting power of attorney, along with family matters and divorce proceedings, we felt the time was right for a dedicated team to provide all of those services direct from the branch.

“It will mean there are many more appointments available and new clients can simply walk in and ask to speak to a specialist.”

Ali is a conveyancing solicitor who joins Vincents from Rosewood Law in Blackburn.

In addition to general conveyancing for private individuals and investors, she specialises in working with buyers using Help to Buy and assisting those who are selling, remortgaging or paying off their Help to Buy loans.

She said: “We have an extremely active homebuyer market in Longridge and I’m looking forward to helping guide people through their purchase. I do enjoy helping clients at, what is usually, a really exciting time and believe it is important to keep them informed every step of the way.

“One particular area of specific experience, which will see demand grow over the coming years, is with regard to paying back the Help to Buy loan.”
