We are delighted to introduce Charlotte Clarke who has joined our Property Team.
An established property solicitor, Charlotte brings with us invaluable conveyancing experience and a welcoming smile.
I am East Sussex born and bred, from Brighton originally. I live in Uckfield, just on the edge of the Ashdown Forest, with my husband, two children and our golden lab Murphy.
I told my parents when I was ten years old that I wanted to be a solicitor. I qualified in March 2008. I loved Land Law when I was studying for my law degree. I am a big reader, I love words and knowing what they mean. Property law is so interesting. I love reading old Deeds and covenants and being able to interpret them and explain them in a way that my clients can understand. Even after 15 and a half years of being qualified, I still get a thrill when I do an exchange!
I read, a lot. I love the classics. My favourite book in the world is Jane Eyre and I have just finished reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. I am also into my music; I used to sing, but that is now limited to the shower and the car on the journey in!
I think it is important to ‘front-load’ a sale. Complete all of the forms early on and thoroughly, find all of your certificates, guarantees and warranties, and provide us with as much information as you can. I like to go through forms with clients. If that is not possible, I check through the forms and the title, and try to anticipate any enquiries we may receive.
Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming. I feel very comfortable here already and I am excited about my future here.
