About me

I am a Member (Partner) of Leeds Day LLP. I live in St. Ives and attended St. Ivo School before going on to qualify as a solicitor in July 2003. I became a partner at Leeds Day in 2010. My training and post qualification experience was with a specialist Landlord and Tenant practice and I now conduct contractual claims and Property Law claims.

About my work

My belief is that Justice is a right not a privilege.

I help people from all walks of life from a widow denied a payment by her husband’s employers from a death in service benefit scheme to fund managers with £500m under management.

Property Litigation

My clients have a variety of problems that range from obtaining possession of rented premises through to leaseholders pursuing their Freeholder for damages because the roof leaks.

I am regularly instructed by leaseholders to obtain a new extended lease or to purchase the freehold of their building and theses claims are heard by the LVT and now the First Tier Property Chamber.

Enforcement of Judgement Debts

Sometimes getting the judgment is only the beginning. I accept instructions from clients who have already obtained a judgment and need assistance in recovering and this includes matrimonial enforcement which present very different challenges to ordinary judgment debts.

What clients say about me

“I am grateful for the services you and your colleagues have provided in a challenging situation. I spend a lot of time chasing people up when letting property out. I haven’t had to do this when working with you and have found the service provided concise and efficient. I will have no hesitation in using or recommending your services in the future. Many thanks and well done on an unexpected good result” Michael Williams

“[A] huge thank you for yesterday and all on the G&S case, very much appreciated, and many thanks for [the] way you handled it. First class 10/10 as always.” H. Limited

“Thank you for letter dated 6th Nov 2013, the enclosed cheque for £27,495.37. I would like to express my thanks to you for handling my case in a very professional and diligent way, without your expertise I would not have reached such a satisfactory outcome. I certainly would not hesitate in recommending you to any of my friends and most certainly would it necessary use your services again myself.” Sandra Morgan

“We’ll always be indebted to you. From a moral perspective we are grateful for and admire your principled stand” M. McC

"About six years ago I purchased the lease to an apartment in Huntingdon. Through conversations with other leaseholders I found they were unable to sell their apartments due to charges against their property incorrectly recorded at the Land Registry. They were losing sales as it was taking their solicitors many months to obtain the removal of these rogue items. Thankfully, as I had a similar problem, I decided to use Mr. Mohammed Hafiaz of Leeds Day’s Litigation Department to correct my entry on the Land Register – like the efficient professionals they are the matter was successfully concluded over a 6 week period during lockdown that included the Xmas Holidays" - Chris.
