Cumbria law firm Thomson Hayton Winkley has appointed Nina Hood as head of residential property.
Nina joins from Ratcliffe & Bibby with more than 25 years’ experience in the property sector, having begun her career in estate agency.
She advises clients nationwide on transactions including property sales, remortgages and transfers of equity.
Nina, who leads a 14-strong team of fee earners, trainees and support staff, said: “The firm has a strong reputation for delivering a high-quality, client-focused service and I am looking forward to building on that further by supporting the team, encouraging collaboration and ensuring we continue to provide a smooth and efficient experience for our clients.
“I am keen to combine my experience with a forward-thinking approach, including embracing technology to continually improve how we work and the service we deliver.”
She is joined by assistant Sasha Miller, further strengthening the firm’s residential property team.
The firm has also appointed Katy Harkin as a solicitor in its private client team and Phil Capstick as a trainee solicitor in dispute resolution.
The appointments reflect Thomson Hayton Winkley’s continued investment in its legal services as it expands its team across Cumbria.

“She and Sasha work extremely well together, providing strong mutual support and adding real strength to the team.

“Both have shown great enthusiasm, and we have already received very positive feedback from clients.
“We are always looking to grow the team with the right people, and to embrace the ideas they bring, as part of our ongoing commitment to delivering the best possible service to our clients.”
