Pearson property team short-listed for prestigious award

Pearson Head of Property Victoria Marshall

The residential property team at Pearson Solicitors and Financial Advisers have been shortlisted as Property Team of the Year in a national award.

The seven strong team, based at the Oldham law firm, deal with clients from all over the region, but increasingly are the go-to property experts for a wider range of clients across the country who seem to appreciate their can-do attitude.

Head of Property Victoria Marshall says they have had a busy time with a fluctuating property market over the past two or three years.

Now as the market is wondering what will happen next, it’s a great time to look back and reflect on what has been achieved.

As part of the LEAP Modern Law Conveyancing Award, the judges said they were looking for a team which has; operated most effectively as a specialist conveyancing department within a wider firm, been able to demonstrate successes as a result of working together as a team and has achieved tangible benefits for their firm, such as publicity, financial and or reputational success.

Commentating on the success, Victoria said: “Our specialist residential property team combine experience, expertise, youth and development opportunity.

"We have made a significant contribution to the firm since the pandemic and grown in both size, reputation and experience.

“The residential property team at Pearson are the 2022 power players of the firm.

“House purchases were our most popular service making up 48.98% of work done - no doubt due to the Stamp Duty holiday, but already this year we’re seeing growth in this area.

“Sales made up 37.38% of our business and recently we have more clients coming for advice on remortgaging due to the cost-of-living crisis and interest rate changes.”

The team will find out at a glitzy awards dinner held in Liverpool in November if they have been successful.

“A house is perhaps the most expensive purchase people make so clients deserve the best and that is what we strive to give them, being recognised for our good service is the icing on the cake,” added Victoria.
