Jane Williams
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!
How I Can Help You
· Extensive Experience – With over 20 years in the legal profession, I offer expert guidance through all types of property transactions.
· Client-Focused Approach – I take the time to speak with clients directly, ensuring they feel supported at every stage.
· Specialist in Beneficial Ownership & Declarations of Trust – Advising on the legal aspects of jointly owned properties.
· Clear, Practical Advice – Making complex legal matters easy to understand.
· Efficient & Reliable – Working proactively to ensure smooth and stress-free transactions.
Why Choose Me?
I know how stressful buying or selling a property can be, and my priority is to provide clear communication, practical advice, and reassurance. Many of my clients return to me for future transactions because they appreciate my approachable and straightforward style.
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!)
If I weren’t a lawyer, I would be...
Doing any job that involves extensive travel around the world—exploring new places far and wide has always been a passion.
