James E Barnes is a recognised sole practice authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2015 and recorded under SRA number 223598. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at 34 Milton Road, London, W7 1LF. Its constitution is recorded as sole practitioner.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 3 areas of law: Residential property, Landlord and tenant and Wills and trusts. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; the automated check on 28 August 2026 could not read jamesebarnes.co.uk, so look for a fees page there or ask the firm.
The head office postcode W7 1LF falls within Ealing (London), where the SRA register lists 97 authorised firms with a practising office, 39 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are H. Ahad & Co LTD (600 m, London), Symphony Legal Limited (600 m, London), Piper May Solicitors LTD (600 m, London), Avenue Solicitors Limited (1.0 km, Ealing) and VR & Shaw Solicitors (1.0 km, London). 1 of those 5 reports residential property work.
The SRA records the firm's constitution as sole practitioner, a structure with no Companies House registration, so there is no company record to cross-reference; the SRA authorisation record is the only public register entry for the firm.
For a home purchase in London (Outer), this site's verified conveyancing legal fee range is £950 to £2,400 plus VAT, before disbursements such as searches and the Land Registry fee. Read the firm's published prices against that band rather than the headline figure alone.

Areas of law reported to the SRA
Self-reported by the firm in its most recent annual return to the SRA ("the areas of law that the law firm has told us they delivered"). A lagging description of past work, not a live service list, a specialism claim or a quality mark; it may be up to a year old and is blank for newly authorised firms.
Because James E Barnes reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Look for a fees page at jamesebarnes.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified London (Outer) band of £950 to £2,400 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
