Emma Leighton-Carey

CILEx Lawyer & Licensed Conveyancer

I am a dual-qualified lawyer specialising in residential conveyancing. I qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive in 2020 and a Licensed Conveyancer in 2023, and have over 11 years’ experience in dealing with a variety residential conveyancing transactions. I have worked in Bristol and South Gloucestershire for my whole career, and still work remotely in Bristol. Since 2017 I have specialised in acting for clients purchasing new build homes directly from Developers. As well as new build conveyancing, I deal with the purchase of older properties, the sale of property, re-mortgages, Help to Buy loan redemptions, and some Transfer of Equity work. I deal with clients across the country, they do not need to be based in Bristol. I pride myself on my quick response times to assist my clients in meeting their exchange deadlines. I believe that clients should be regularly updated - and as I am a Consultant, clients will deal with me personally, rather than being passed to an unqualified team or admin staff. I support my clients personally from start to finish. If you think I can assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to get in touch for a free, no obligation, estimate.

House move.

Emma was very responsive and approachable, she answered all of our questions professionally and clearly, always taking time to explain everything throughout the whole process. Emma responded promptly to all calls and emails throughout the process and if she was ever not going to be available she made sure that we had another point of contact if we required assistance when she was unavailable.

First class service

5

From the start Emma communicated clearly and her responses we’re always timely. If she was going to be away she let us know. We felt her support all the way through the transaction and she went above and beyond at the end to see it all through. She worked closely with the agent so that we felt we had a team behind us.

Emma is absolutely fantastic and would recommend her highly, after an extremely stressful house sale for 11 months, Emma worked so efficiently and incredibly organised. We were never left in the dark with anything and she would always endeavour prompt replies. We couldn’t recommend Emma more if we tried. A huge Thankyou to Emma.
