The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at Kings Stone House, Kingston Upon Thames, KT1 1HD. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.

In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 11 areas of law: Residential property, Probate, ADR, Non-litigation, Wills and trusts, Corporate (non-listed), Family, Children, Commercial property, Employment and Litigation. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; the check of carterbells.co.uk on 28 August 2026 did not find a published conveyancing price page, so ask the firm for the figures the rules require.
