About Our Team
Nick Davenport
Director
Nick qualified as a solicitor after a period in law enforcement in one of the rougher areas of South London. During his training, he was delighted to be awarded two “best in the country” prizes in his law examinations.
After working initially for a busy South London firm, he moved to the Lakes with his teacher wife and three young children. Nick has worked in Ambleside for more than 33 years, firstly being employed by another local firm and then subsequently setting up his own firm and then taking over the long-established firm of Pattinson & Scott shortly afterwards.
He specialises in both residential and commercial property conveyancing and is especially experienced in the unusual titles prevalent in the Lake District. He also deals with Probate and Estates and the preparation of Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney for clients.
Outside of work and family, his passions include enjoying the fells, cookery, jazz, and tinkering with his ancient Citroens. He regards Ambleside and its surrounding areas as the finest place to live in the country and has never regretted settling here.

Away from the office, Natalie is a keen paddleboarder and wild swimmer and enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She is also a Director and the Chair Person of the Ambleside Christmas Lights Committee.
