Amphlett Lissimore is proud to announce that Residential Property Partner Claire Pays has been named Conveyancer of the Year at the Conveyancing Awards 2026.

The Conveyancing Awards recognise excellence, innovation and commitment across the UK property sector, celebrating the firms and professionals who continue to raise standards in residential conveyancing.

Conveyancer of the Year – Claire Pays
This award for Conveyancer of the Year recognises Claire’s professionalism, technical expertise and consistent commitment to delivering exceptional client care. Known for her calm, approachable manner and attention to detail, Claire supports clients through every stage of the conveyancing process with clarity and confidence.

“I’m incredibly honoured to have been recognised as Conveyancer of the Year. This award reflects not only my own work but also the support of a fantastic team around me. Conveyancing doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves so being recognised by the industry and spending the evening celebrating with others in the business means a great deal. I’m very grateful to my firm and everyone who has supported me throughout my career.”
– Claire Pays, Amphlett Lissimore

Claire joined Amphlett Lissimore in 2014 and is now a Residential Property Partner, leading the firm’s West Wickham conveyancing team. She has built a strong reputation among clients and property professionals for her responsiveness, clear communication and ability to resolve issues efficiently in a fast-moving property market.
This is reflected in feedback from those she works with:

“As an agent, it is very important to have solicitors that communicate well as it can make or break a transaction. Claire Pays does exactly that. She will keep you updated, respond quickly and overcome any issues in a timely, professional manner. Highly recommend.”

What did the Judges Say
“Claire’s commitment to client care on a variety of complex cases and her strong team leadership is evidenced by the sheer number of excellent reviews she and her team receive from clients and agents alike. Her personal career path is impressive, rising to Partner within 10 years, and her drive to keep up with latest industry developments, providing client guides and inhouse training, makes her a worthy winner of Conveyancer of the Year.”
