Are you facing possession claims issued by Nationwide Finance Ltd (‘NFL’ – no connection to Nationwide Building Society) or Bluerock Secured Finance Limited, formerly known as Alfandari Private Equities Ltd?
Were you persuaded by advertisements promising loans dressed up as sale and lease back agreements at a good rate without any protracted disclosure or usual formalities and without a clear explanation that any loan would be secured against a guarantor’s property, so putting friends and family at risk of losing their homes?
Were you hustled through the process of signing the documents, without time to properly consider them or to the time to seek independent legal advice?
We are representing several clients in defending such claims and would be interested to hear from you if you require expert assistance.

Our Specialist Civil Litigation Services
We offer specialist civil litigation services and negotiate settlements in a wide range of areas, including commercial property and family law. Our principal solicitor, Jo Walia, provides a uniquely personal legal service to all clients. She believes close contact with clients is the best way to tailor advice to the particular circumstances of each case.
We aim for a city-type service at local rates. As a small firm, we do not have the layers of bureaucracy of larger firms. We react quickly when we need to, and we are available by phone or email at short notice and outside of regular hours.
Protecting Your Financial Position: Looking For Settlement
Resorting to legal action can be risky and outcomes can be uncertain. Generally, if the value of a claim is less than £15,000, it is not cost-effective to instruct a solicitor. This is because you cannot recover your legal costs. In cases worth more than £15,000, we take all possible steps to protect your financial position, and we have an impressive track record in the cases that we handle. If dispute resolution is possible, we will guide you through the mediation process.
No-Obligation Meeting: Assessing Your Case
We offer a one-off, no-obligation assessment of your case, providing expert legal advice to all of our clients. Even if your claim is strong, we will pursue it vigorously on your behalf. If the case lacks substance, we will tell you. We will never jeopardise your financial position by pursuing a case that lacks merit. If there is uncertainty on the legal aspects of your case, we will work with a specialist barrister. From there, we can establish whether your claim is worth pursuing.

Key Evidence: The Video A pivotal piece of evidence in the case was a video presented by Lisa Baverstock herself. The footage showed Lisa placing a pen in her mother’s hand and physically guiding it to sign the will. The video revealed that Margaret Baverstock was unresponsive during the process, and her signature bore no resemblance to her genuine signature from 2017. This evidence played a crucial role in the court’s decision. The Case Background Margaret Baverstock, a 76-year-old woman suffering from advanced dementia, arthritis, and suspected lung congestion, purportedly signed a will in March 2021, just eight days before her death.
