Asta is a dual-qualified lawyer working as a senior associate in the residential property team in Guildford. She advises on all aspects of freehold and leasehold transactions including sales, purchases, transfers of equity and re-mortgages, the sub-division of land and the refinancing of property.

She has a particular focus on higher value properties for use as a home or as an investment and has significant experience in dealing with country houses. She works closely with other teams in the firm such as immigration, tax, private client and the commercial real estate practice, advising on various aspects of private property held by estates, trusts or separating spouses.

I focus on clear, efficient and thorough communication with my clients at every stage of the transaction when they are buying a new home or selling an existing one.
