Licensed Conveyancer at Gotelee Solicitors LLP

Carmen King

Licensed Conveyancer

I qualified as Licenced Conveyancer in January 2014 and initially joined Gotelee in 2013, left for 3 years to work at another local firm and returned ‘home’ in April 2021. I am able to deal with all aspects of residential conveyancing from buying or selling your existing or newbuild freehold or leasehold home or land to transfers of equity, re-mortgages and first registrations of unregistered land through to drafting legal charges, declarations of trust, statutory declarations, easements and covenants. My career began as a Legal Secretary in Rossendale, Lancashire, after returning to England in 2008 from a stint as a military wife living in Germany for 7 years. The Partner that I worked for became my mentor and close friend and encouraged me to study as a Licensed Conveyancer. I did this via a mixture of home and college learning all the while working and being a single mother to two young children. I then moved to East Anglia in 2012 and have worked for local firms ever since. I like to build strong lasting relationships with my clients. I particularly like steering more vulnerable, elderly or first-time buyer clients through the process, which can be daunting for them. I try my best to ensure that any communication or explanation of more complex legal terms or situations are explained as simply as possible. In my spare time I enjoy genealogy, gardening, looking after my hens and reading.

Professional, efficient, always kept me informed of the process. Would use again. No hesitation in urging others to use these solicitors for legal maters.

Excellent service

Great customer service from start to finish. Moving house is the most stressful experience but Carmen and Tracy made our experience stress free, we were kept up to date with all relevant information even whilst on holiday in Turkey! Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Gotelee.

Quick, Efficient and Reliable

5

We were offered a fixed price, full transparency and quoted for an expected 12 weeks work. I personally felt our experience was second to none and felt as a priority!

From the date instructed to exchange of contracts took a total of 3 weeks. Communication was perfect and Carmen King ensured we were satisfied I have no doubts this firm can handle any future needs.

The service given by Gotelee and particularly by Carmen King, was upfront, straightforward, timely and friendly. I was kept informed fully at all times. Notwithstanding difficulties experienced with the property sale, which were outside of her control, the whole process was completed to my complete satisfaction.
