Becky Cooke joined BHW Solicitors as a Paralegal in March 2021 and was awarded a training contract in October of the same year. She qualified as a Solicitor in October 2023 and has since continued her career within BHW’s Commercial Property department.
Becky advises on a wide range of commercial property matters, including freehold sales and purchases, landlord and tenant transactions, and secured lending. Becky is known for her proactive and personable approach, ensuring clients receive tailored advice and a seamless service from start to finish. Her diligent approach and commitment to delivering outstanding client service have earned her repeat instructions from both individual clients and well-established lenders.
As a valued member of BHW’s Real Estate Finance team, Becky has developed specialist expertise in secured lending transactions. She regularly acts for respected lenders on both sole and dual representation matters, handling everything from straightforward deals to complex refinancing arrangements. Becky’s client-focused service has led to repeat instructions from clients including Natwest, HSBC UK Bank plc and Cambridge & Counties Bank Limited.
Work highlights include:
- Advising a well-known lender on a £2.3 million development refinance for a local residential developer.
- Completing a £2.3 million portfolio refinance of four properties for a Leicestershire-based lender, followed by a fifth refinance for the same borrower. Becky has since been reinstructed by the lender to complete the refinance of another property which is to form part of the portfolio for the same borrower.
- Providing clear, practical advice to individuals on the risks associated with entering into security documents.
I’ve recently had the pleasure of working with Becky in regards to a mutual client. I have to say I was very impressed with the level of service and professionalism Becky demonstrated.
I have always found Becky Cooke to be very professional, with a willingness to help me with any deals. Becky is always available and has excellent commercial property knowledge. Becky makes pragmatic suggestions, as well as ensuring that all areas are covered to ensure that my clients and my employer are not at risk. I would not use anyone else and the times that I have had to use other firms, I wish I hadn’t!! Becky is a real asset and credit to BHW.
I have been working with Becky for almost two years now, during which she and her team have handled numerous — and often very complex — commercial property cases for my companies. Throughout this time, Becky has not only delivered a fantastic service but has also been a pleasure to work with. She is professional, thorough, and approachable, always taking the time to explain matters clearly and keep me updated. Her attention to detail and ability to foresee potential challenges have given me real peace of mind, knowing everything is being handled with care and expertise. I have complete confidence that my cases are in the very best hands with Becky.
