LAW firm Ingrams Solicitors has taken on Kellie Noble to head up its newly restructured residential conveyancing department.
Ms Noble is one of a handful of conveyancing professionals in the UK to be recommended on legal panels – comparison websites used by house buyers to search for legal services.
The websites allow buyers to enter the amount they want to spend on a property, and then returns a number of recommended law firms.
The move opens up the entire UK market to Ingrams, which has offices in Hull and York, without the need for further staffed premises.

BARCLAYS Corporate has strengthened its local authority offering in Yorkshire with the introduction of a relationship director responsible for providing specialist support in the region.
Tracy Muniz Ryan, who already has responsibility for Barclays Corporate’s relationships with the professional sector, will join a nationwide team of 34 specialists providing increased, local-level support to authorities.
As a result, Barclays Corporate will become one of the only banks to offer a locally-based specialist providing financial support and advice to authorities across the UK.
The move is in response to the publication of the Government’s Decentralisation and Localism Bill. Unveiled in December, the bill laid out a far-reaching set of proposals designed to emancipate councils from central shackles, by shifting power back to them and the communities they serve.
