Experience
Lucy is an Associate in our Housing and Regeneration team and acts for Registered Providers on portfolio transactions, with a particular speciality in security charging, stock rationalisation, s106 deed of variation and void disposal matters.
Expertise
Lucy has advised on numerous security charging projects, including for G15 clients. She also deals in void disposals, s106 deed of variations and assists with stock rationalisation. The nature of Lucy’s workload means that she is able to co-ordinate due diligence for large projects, often involving hundreds of titles, within very tight timescales.
Lucy has also completed a 5 month secondment in the Treasury team at a G15 client, where she reviewed their stock for suitable properties to charge and helped them to improve their processes and procedures for charging properties.
Lucy joined Capsticks in September 2019 as a paralegal and prior to her current role at the firm, previously worked as a housing officer for a local authority for 3 years. This has provided her a real understanding of how Registered Providers work and what is important to them and their customers.
