SAM Conveyancing in the Media

Andrew Boast is Conveyancing Director and Co-Founder of SAM Conveyancing and a qualified accountant (FMAAT).

As a housing market expert, Andrew has been invited to speak on the BBC (both television and radio), London Live and Tip TV and has been quoted widely in most of the mainstream press. He continues to support the drive for home ownership actively.

Andrew notably uncovered exclusions within the Help to Buy ISA scheme and worked successfully with Katie Morley at the Telegraph to bring these to the attention of the wider public. His findings resulted in all the main stakeholders of the scheme, from the government to mortgage lenders, reassessing its terms and conditions and giving much-needed clarification to first time buyers.
