Paula Wakeling-Basham

Originally from Hertfordshire I qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive Lawyer (Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives) in 1996 and then registered as a Licensed Conveyancer in 2023. Prior to qualifying I lived and worked in London employed as a Paralegal in various offices undertaking work in Corporate, Commercial, Marine Litigation, Estates and Probate, Family Law and Personal Injury then concentrating on Family Law and Property when I qualified. I have specialised in conveyancing in Devon since 2015 in Residential and Development Property to include finance/refinance to assist with purchase of property and land and worked with clients on portfolio property acquisition and for buy to let companies and agricultural land division, for example in preparation for development albeit new planning applications or planning Class Q consent sales and purchases. I attend to Leasehold and Freehold acquisition, enfranchisement and Management Company creation to link to developments after incorporation.

I work for clients in many areas all over England; City Coast and Country. My goal is to continue to provide an excellent service to clients and to continue with my strong links with other professionals in my field, Agents, Land Owners, Developers and Financial Advisers for example. I am proud to act for clients who have returned to me again and again over the years recommending others to me and have built a strong client portfolio myself.

I live in Devon and certainly love where I live and work. Outside of the office I like to attend networking events and support the local business communities and keep up to date with planning proposals and business activities generally. I undertake property renovation in my spare time and enjoy long walks and cycling all over the UK and holidays abroad. I will at some point buy another horse, possibly, oh maybe some chickens…and acquire more pets since riding and having a lot of animals around me brings me so much pleasure.
