Vickie started her legal life working as a junior secretary for a Guildford company. She worked there for a total of 16 years and during that time she decided to take her Legal Executive exams whilst working at the same time. After a few years hard work Vickie qualified and decided to deal solely with residential conveyancing. Vickie has been a Fellow of the Institute since 1999 and joined Brooks & Partners in 2006.
In one of her previous roles, Vickie has also been a team manager with a team of thirteen conveyancers of various abilities – this was both a rewarding a challenging job and she feels that she developed her “people” skills during this period of time! During the last few years she has had a wealth of experience working in house for a developer; dealing with mortgage repossession sales and dealing with plot sales in addition to the normal day to day residential work.
Vickie is a very keen gardener and loves nothing more than to get home in an evening and go straight out to potter in her garden. Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower shows are always in her calendar and she is awaiting a request from the BBC to take over Gardeners World on a Friday night! When she is not gardening, she is getting lost walking in the Surrey Hills or if it is wet with her nose stuck in a book! Cooking is not her forte and friends will go to great lengths to avoid the need for her to venture into her kitchen which she has only said is there because it came with the house!
Vickie Sturman works in the Residential Conveyancing department, also offering help for first time buyers, mortgage and remortgage advice, Shared Ownership, Transfer of Equity and Equity Release.
