Rebecca is a director, head of the Property Department, Compliance Officer for Legal Practice and Senior Reporting Officer working from both the Keighley and Broughton office.

She joined WTW Solicitors in 2018 and became a director in 2021.

Clients include property developers, commercial property owners, family farming partnerships and a wide range of individuals.

Rebecca enjoys getting to know her clients and understanding the bigger picture particularly with farming clients to ensure that transactions undertaken do not affect their business activities. Being instructed by different generations in a family and those that have instructed the firm for a number of years is a real highlight to her. Rebecca is routinely recommended to others by her clients, acts for previous colleagues and enjoys supporting the other departments in the company to ensure that clients have all round support for their legal needs.

The majority of her work concerns farmland, equestrian and commercial property in and around the local area, as well as acting for long term clients located around the country.

Rebecca’s work covers all aspects of property work, including buying and selling land, leases for both landlords and tenants, overage agreements, option agreements, conditional contracts, grazing licences and a wide range of land registration matters such as prescriptive easements, adverse possession, first registrations, amalgamation and splitting of titles and boundary agreements together with deeds of grant and release of easements, rights and covenants.

Rebecca also deals with utility agreements, renewable energy agreements and telecoms agreements.

Rebecca deals with new developments of residential properties from acquisition of sites, section 58 and section 104 agreements, plot sales, creation of management companies and ultimate transfers of private shared features such as sewerage infrastructure and estate roads.

Rebecca enjoys meeting with clients face to face, both in the office and on site favouring a personal approach which usually has the result of her gaining a better understanding of a  client’s requirements by seeing the land in person and having the opportunity to clearly explain the aspects of a transaction and the documents that achieve it – something that is sometimes lost through written communications.
