Each month we will shine the spotlight on a certain area of our Housing and Regeneration team and this month it's the turn of our specialist Right to Buy and Right to Acquire sales team member Lauren Boyle.
I deal with right to buy sales for a large number of our RP clients on a national basis. I really enjoy this work as it is fast paced and requires lots of organisation to meet deadlines. The Housing and Regeneration (Property) Department is a fantastic team to work in with endless amounts of support. The case management system we have for our right to buy and right to acquire sales is a fantastic tool to ensure that deadlines are met, things are never missed and our processes are slick; also in formulating weekly reports for clients. The last twelve months have seen quite an increase in the amount of instructions we have received from new and existing clients. We are also preparing (ourselves and helping our clients to) for the impact of the voluntary right to buy by delivering increasing amounts of training to clients on various aspects including training on systems, efficiencies and the right to buy process and legislation Describe yourself in three words Honest, Dedicated and Organised [Ed - and fun!] Favourite holiday destination New York, mainly because I was proposed to on Brooklyn Bridge! Hobbies and interests I am currently planning my wedding (I always get shouted at for calling it ‘my’ wedding). We are due to get married in 7 months. I call it my ‘hobby and interest’ but it feels more like a full time job at the moment…Albeit a very enjoyable one! |
