Kate is a residential property solicitor experienced in advising on the purchase and sale of property, remortgages and small-scale developments. Her experience includes dealing with prime and super-prime properties, as well as high-value financing. She is also an expert in advising on lease extensions and collective enfranchisement.
A range of clients turn to Kate for advice including first-time buyers, overseas investors and high-net-worth individuals. Most of the property transactions she works on are for properties based in Oxfordshire, London and the South East.
Kate Hathaway has been unwaveringly impressive from the start of this process to the very end. Her replies to my (and the other side's) enquiries have been consistently swift and her advice has transcended the usual range of legal matters, demonstrating superhuman patience, wisdom and strategic foresight in the face of her unnecessarily provocative and at times utterly infuriating opposite number. I cannot rate her and Keystone, with whom this is now my second experience, highly enough. If there were an extra star on here, I would click it! Thank you for guiding me through this!
Sam, Client
Highly recommend when buying a property. Kate Hathaway provided a great personal service. She was thorough and diligent, and explained everything very clearly. This meant I was able to have a full understanding of the process and make informed decisions. Couldn’t have been better. Many thanks.
