Profile

Sophie Oakes (she/her) LLB (Hons)

Solicitor

I am a solicitor in our agriculture, land & development team. I advise landowners with property transactions and development projects.

My experience dealing with issues unique to rural property is supplemented by my awareness of potential development considerations, ensuring my clients’ current and future interests are protected.

Key skills

I can help you with:

  • acquisition and disposal of land, including rural property and development land
  • overage and clawback arrangements
  • division or partition of land
  • rights, covenants and easements
  • first registration applications
  • security work, including lending and refinancing of rural property.

Experience highlights

My experience includes:

  • advising on the sale of development land to a national housebuilder subject to high-value overage arrangements, works licence agreements and a farm business tenancy whilst preserving future development potential of the client’s retained land
  • obtaining absolute title in a complex first registration application where title deeds had been lost
  • partitioning of a development site, ensuring each plot benefits from the necessary rights
  • I am a member of the Country Landowners Association (CLA).
