I am a Solicitor specialising in Residential Property.

I joined the firm in September 2015 as a Trainee Solicitor and successfully qualified in 2017. Since qualifying, I have built up a good client base and connections in Bramhall where I am now permanently based.

During my time in practice with the firm, I have developed a client-friendly approach to my work and I relish in building up a relationship with my Client’s from the outset. It is always a pleasure to see the matter resolved successfully in the hope that one day that client will return for another legal issue.

I deal with all aspects of Residential Conveyancing including;

  • Sales and purchases of both freehold and leasehold properties;
  • Acting for Companies on residential matters
  • Re-mortgages;
  • Transfers of equity;
  • Unregistered land;
  • Plot / New build purchases;
  • Shared ownerships;
  • Freehold reversions;
  • Adverse Possession

Prior to becoming a qualified Solicitor, I studied Law at Lancaster University, before then going on to complete my Legal Practice Course at the University of Law in Chester.

Outside of work I am kept busy by running a Beaver Scout section and other charity work. I especially enjoy attending live gigs of one of my favourite bands with my friends.

    What our clients say about Matthew

    Excellent from start to finish. Matt was professional & proactive throughout what was a challenging purchase (due to other solicitor primarily!). Matt was a calming influence throughout and was extremely diligent in every aspect. Thanks again Matt.

    Ray

    Matt and the team were absolutely brilliant throughout the process - keeping me updated at all times and ensuring there were no delays at our end and chasing the purchaser's solicitor to ensure timely completion. Expertise and guidance ensured a great outcome and very reasonably priced.

    Excellent service in dealing with our house sale. Would highly recommend!

    Judith

    Highly recommend for stress free conveyancing. Matthew and Ella provided an excellent service from start to finish. Matthew rectified a problem that had arisen from the work of a previous Solicitor without fuss and Ella kept us fully updated throughout. Would use again.

    Alison

    Matt acted professionally throughout and was accessible and responded to emails and concerns in a timely manner.

    From start to finish, Matthew and Ella were incredible. They kept us fully updated throughout every step, guiding us patiently through the whole process and taking the time to answer all our questions, no matter how small. Incredibly, we completed within 10 weeks of putting in our offer—something I never thought would happen so smoothly. It’s clear that Matthew and Ella work tirelessly for their clients, and despite their busy schedules, we always felt we had their full attention. I honestly cannot thank them both enough for their hard work, efficiency, and kindness. I’ll absolutely be using them for any future needs and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a solicitor. Thank you both for making our first home purchase such a positive experience!

    Rick

    Matt Watson was appointed as my Solicitor and I have been blown away by his dedication, support and timeliness throughout the whole process. Matt completely went above and beyond throughout. He was always available for me to ask questions and nothing was ever too much trouble. Matt has exceeded my expectations at every stage and I can't thank him enough for his time, patience and support throughout what was quite a stressful event! I would come back and use this company, and specifically Matt, every single time it was required and would have no hesitation in recommending him to family and friends.
