Spear’s Review

Farrer & Co’s personable head of property, Laura Conduit, entered our index thanks to high praise from peers and agents alike, who consult her on a wide range of residential property matters.

With particular experience in fast-paced deals, she credits her speed to the network of contacts she’s built up and maintained since qualifying in 2008, as well as her relationships with clients and ‘most of the top operators’ in the industry. ‘It makes the transactions so much easier,’ she says.

She is sought after in both acquisitions and sales, with extensive expertise in residential property, luxury developments, listed country houses and small estates. Conduit notes that her team likes to be involved ‘as early as possible’ in a transaction, ‘so that we’re not on the back foot because we haven’t got the [plans and consents] that were issued 10 years ago’.
