Leanne is an Associate in our Residential Property Team who has over 10 years’ experience in property transactions. She acts for both individual clients, company clients and lenders, with extensive experience across a broad range of transactions, including but not limited to:
Leanne graduated from University of East Anglia with a degree in Law in 2015, having already secured her first role at a local law firm before finishing her final exams. Qualifying as a Chartered Legal Executive in January 2019, Leanne then joined a regional law firm in 2022 before joining Leathes Prior in January 2024 as an Associate.
In her spare time Leanne considers herself to be an “apprentice mechanic” and can often be found either working on one of her cars, attending automotive events or collaborating with automotive companies. She particularly has a passion for older Japanese cars and has a special love for old Hondas. Leanne is also in the process of renovating her own property and will give absolutely anything a go.
Notable matters Leanne has acted on:
From the bottom of my heart I can’t thank you enough! The house is just perfect and I had my heart set on this place and it is worth the wait and more! You made what was a horrible experience that more bearable and without you I’d have been lost! Thank you so much for fighting my corner and being so professional but also personal! You are amazing and will always hold a place in my heart for getting me this home!
We recently completed the purchase of a property through Leathes Prior and were extremely impressed with the service we received from Leanne Riches. This was not a straightforward transaction, involving a repossession sale and several unexpected delays outside of her control. Throughout the process, Leanne was professional, proactive, responsive and always willing to explain matters clearly. She kept us updated at every stage and worked hard to move the transaction forward despite numerous challenges. Her advice gave us confidence throughout the purchase, and we always felt that our interests were being looked after. Thanks to her persistence and dedication, the transaction completed successfully and we are very grateful for all her hard work. We would not hesitate to recommend Leanne and Leathes Prior to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable solicitor. We look forward to working with them again on future property purchases.
Very professional and honest communications throughout. Quality at a reasonable price. Leanne was my acting solicitor and did a very professional and thorough job!
Leanne was superb throughout the whole process for the sale of my leasehold property. Clear communication and quick to respond to ensure the sale went through much quicker than expected! Incredibly efficient to complete on a sale in two months and would definitely use again!
I can’t recommend Leanne Riches enough for conveyancing, this is the second time Leanne has carried out work for me, she made a complicated matter easy, thank you.
I wanted to send an email to say how fantastic Leanne has been on both of my purchases, she came to the process mid-way and was diligent and efficient throughout. She was very available to help and support two complicated purchases. Her manner was kind, helpful, and professional throughout.
I really could not praise or recommend Leanne enough for her hard work, transparency, quick communication, and kindness during my conveyancing process. I was a first-time buyer and the first conveyancing firm recommended to me were an absolute disaster who I no longer trusted. I was completely fed up with the stress of buying when I was given a recommendation to instead go with Leathes Prior, specifically Leanne, and I’m so glad I did. Leanne was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. She is friendly, quick to answer any and all questions and extremely knowledgeable. The seller's conveyancing firm were not particularly communicative and my completion date looked in jeopardy but Leanne went above and beyond to make sure it happened on the date I had requested and took the time to reassure me when I felt like giving up! I am now happily in my new home and forever grateful to Leanne for her work. Thank you!
Amazing news Leanne. Thank you so much for everything you have done, you have been brilliant and we really appreciate pushing this move.
We just wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for all the brilliant quality work you did for us, marked with accurate communication skills and amazing response and resolution times. We genuinely could not be any happier for your help in purchasing our first property, your guidance made what would have otherwise been a stressful process, feel like a straightforward procedure. As such, in the future, we will unreservedly recommend yours and Leathes Prior's services.
What can I say, the service provided by Leanne Riches has been outstanding. Leanne always answers my questions very promptly and with details I understand. She and her assistant are always on the ball. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I would recommend and have recommended her to many people. The service is a 100%.
We had a fantastic experience working with Leanne at Leathes Prior. She managed our expectations clearly and was always patient and responsive, even when we had lots of questions. Buying a house can be stressful, but Leanne kept us calm and focused throughout the process. Thanks to her support and efficiency, everything was ready well ahead of time and we completed exactly as planned.
You hero! Thanks for this - have no idea what I would have done if there were other certain firms involved in this transaction!
I just wanted to express my immense thanks to Leanne for the incredible service you've provided me over the last few months. You've shown me how valuable a good solicitor is and I cannot fault anything you've done and to get this deal exchanged on budget day was the icing on the cake! Just awesome - thank you thank you thank you!
Dear Leanne, I have very mixed emotions at the moment and lots of tears! I want to thank you for all your help. When I asked people to recommend a conveyancer no one was able to offer up any names. It's not often I feel totally confident in recommending people but I will certainly be recommending you. You have conveyed confidence every step of the way. Thank you.
Leanne was extremely attentive and professional when she helped me and my partner buy our property! Especially being first-time buyers, we were quite needy, but Leanne stayed patient with us and reassured us along the way. Also, I found the welcome pack really useful.
