Sarah joined the Dispute Resolution Team in 1998 and works alongside Jeremy Ferris in the Property Dispute Team. Sarah was admitted as a Chartered Legal Executive in May 2015.

Sarah works closely with letting agents to assist them and their clients where a dispute has arisen between a landlord and tenant and Court proceedings are necessary to obtain possession.

Sarah also works for private individuals and companies who own rental property some with one property and some with multiple properties. Sarah can deal with everything from advising a new landlord of their obligations towards their tenant and drawing up tenancy agreements, to terminating a tenancy for a landlord by the giving of notice and thereafter issuing Court proceedings to obtain a court order for possession.

Sarah is also able to assist tenants where the landlord may be in breach of its obligations by failing to repair a property or carry out the necessary safety checks. In addition, Sarah can provide advice where the deposit has not been protected by the landlord.

Alongside the above work, Sarah also deals with other types of property dispute such as neighbour or boundary disputes and can also deal with claims relating to adverse possession of land.

Sarah’s approach to dealing with clients is down to earth by giving clear, practical and easy to understand advice.

Sarah Woolnough kept me fully informed at all times. Answered my emails very quickly and spent a long time on the telephone explaining things to me that I did not understand. She was extremely pleasant to deal with. Client of Sarah Woolnough - Ms B of Medway

The Service we received was impeccable. All information was fully explained, emails were answered promptly and the whole process was as simply as it could have been.

We are very grateful to Sarah for everything that she did for us, we would definitely recommend. Client of Sarah Woolnough - Miss R of Canterbury

As a former equity partner in a large city based international law firm I believe that I am well qualified to evaluate the services provided by Furley Page. I was very impressed with the services provided. Sarah Woolnough is truly a specialist in her field and provided advice in a clear and professional manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending her. Furley Page is like a city firm in its approach to both its clients and the law but fortunately it is located in a much more pleasant location. Client of Sarah Woolnough, Mr C from London

I found the service to be helpful, supportive and reassuring during the procedure, without that help I would have been so stressed, Sarah explained and went to great lengths to maintain an excellent service – good communication and a lovely attitude. Thank you so much for resolving this matter. Client of Sarah Woolnough, Mrs H from Chartham
