How Chris adds value?
Clients instruct Chris when they want a partner-led service by an expert in property transactions whether that is because they are buying their first home or where the transaction:
- Is high value or commercially sensitive
- Involves complex structures or multiple stakeholders
- Sits alongside or may lead to disputes or enforcement issues

He is known for being highly responsive, decisive, and solution-focused, ensuring transactions progress efficiently while protecting the client’s position.
