Jamie Wilson is a paralegal within our conveyancing department, dealing with residential sales, purchases, and remortgages. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or part of a chain of ten transactions, Jamie is always on hand to guide clients through the process.
What is your role at Lancashire Law?
I’m a paralegal based predominantly at our Todmorden office. Having lived in Todmorden all my life, I know the town inside out and take a very hands-on approach when issues arise. It’s not unusual for me to attend a property with a client — sometimes, when things get complex, emails and phone calls just don’t cut it!
Day to day, I handle all aspects of residential sales, purchases, and remortgages. From contract issues and dealing with enquiries to obtaining mortgage settlement figures, I do it all. I also work closely with Solicitor Ellie Uttley, supporting her and our clients every step of the way.
What is your typical day like as a paralegal?
No two days are the same, which is one of the reasons I love this role! A typical day involves preparing and reviewing legal documents, keeping clients informed about the conveyancing process, and ensuring everyone stays updated as progress is made.
What’s your advice for a first-time buyer?
Start early! The conveyancing process can be lengthy, so instructing your solicitor as soon as possible and getting searches underway is really important. Communication is also key — keeping in touch with us, your agents, and brokers helps everything run more smoothly. We all share the same goal, and we’re here to support you throughout.
What is your biggest achievement to date?
Without a doubt, my two boys, Freddie and Alfie — definitely my hardest but proudest achievement! More recently, I’ve also added my little sausage dog, Blue, to the family. She keeps me on my toes, especially when she chews through the Wi-Fi router (which seems to be her favourite hobby!).
How do you like to relax outside of work?
Spending time with my family, socialising with friends and colleagues, and eating out. At the end of the day, there’s nothing better than curling up on the sofa with a cup of tea, a couple of chocolate digestives, and a new ITV drama. My colleagues will tell you I’m the go-to person for TV recommendations!
