Jane Williams

Solicitor

I qualified as a solicitor in 1995 and have over two decades of experience in the legal profession. I joined Martin Tolhurst Solicitors as a Partner in 2003 and held this role until March 2025. Throughout my career, I have specialised in residential property law, with a particular interest in beneficial ownership and Declarations of Trust.

I handle a broad range of residential property transactions, including:

· Freehold & Leasehold Sales and Purchases

· New-Build Plot Purchases

· Remortgages & Transfers of Equity

· Transfers of Part

· Home-Ownership Sales, Purchases & Staircasing

No two transactions are ever the same, and I enjoy helping clients navigate the legal process - whether they are first-time buyers, seasoned property investors, or families I have worked with across generations. One of the most unusual transactions I have handled was acting for clients purchasing a fundus and foreshore in Devon—a standout moment in my career!

Why Choose Me?

About Me

Outside of work I am big cricket fan, all formats of the game and enjoy playing badminton weekly. I am an Arsenal widow losing my husband and two sons for four hours for every home match. I also enjoy swimming, baking, going to the cinema, and binge-watching a great box set. I’m a big fan of Italian and Mexican food, my music taste ranges from Adele to UB40 and I love a silent disco (although not so silent for those around me!)
