I am a Solicitor specialising in Residential Property.

I joined the firm in September 2015 as a Trainee Solicitor and successfully qualified in 2017. Since qualifying, I have built up a good client base and connections in Bramhall where I am now permanently based.

During my time in practice with the firm, I have developed a client-friendly approach to my work and I relish in building up a relationship with my Client’s from the outset. It is always a pleasure to see the matter resolved successfully in the hope that one day that client will return for another legal issue.

I deal with all aspects of Residential Conveyancing including;

Sales and purchases of both freehold and leasehold properties;
Acting for Companies on residential matters
Re-mortgages;
Transfers of equity;
Unregistered land;
Plot / New build purchases;
Shared ownerships;
Freehold reversions;
Adverse Possession

Prior to becoming a qualified Solicitor, I studied Law at Lancaster University, before then going on to complete my Legal Practice Course at the University of Law in Chester.

Outside of work I am kept busy by running a Beaver Scout section and other charity work. I especially enjoy attending live gigs of one of my favourite bands with my friends.

What our clients say about Matthew

I instructed Butcher & Barlow to sell my property and have to say, the service they gave me was outstanding. What should have been a simple transaction, proved to be really difficult due to the buyer's solicitor. This was no reflection on Butcher & Barlow at all. They kept me informed on progress and responded to all of my questions when I asked them. Ella Woodier was my main contact. I found her to be polite, helpful and understanding of my frustrations. I will certainly use Butcher & Barlow again for my future purchases and sales.

Many thanks to Matthew Watson who dealt with the purchase of our house in Cornwall and various complications involved. Friendly, cheerful and professional. He also knew well the area we were moving to which was an added bonus! Thanks Matthew.

Hassle Free Conveyancing. Butcher & Barlow dealt with the legalities regarding the sale of my old house and purchase of my new home. It was quite a convoluted affair involving banks and receivers. We got there in the end. Butcher & Barlow and Mathew, in particular, from the Bramhall office, deserve much praise. The service I received was reasonably priced and thoroughly professional, a straight 10/10 from me.

Matthew was amazing! We found Matthew at Butcher & Barlow to be professional and a clear communicator. I had very little knowledge of what we needed to sort out and Matthew made sure I understood everything. Emails were responded to promptly and Matthew went above and beyond to sort out our move. Should we be moving in the future, we will be seeking him out again!

You helped to make what is always a stressful process, easier to manage. Thanks for your expertise, the detailed report and your advice to get us to completion.

I strongly recommend Butcher & Barlow as expert Conveyancers. They were prompt, proactive and professional at all times. In particular I was impressed at how efficient they were in securing the searches from the Local Authority at a time when Local Authorities are under severe pressure. I wouldn't hesitate to make use of their services in future.

We are both very pleased with Butcher & Barlow's service, particularly as everything went smoothly, but also for the interpersonal touch which helped keep us calm as the conveyancing process dragged on.
