J A Hughes is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 290412. The SRA record lists 3 practising offices: the head office at Centenary House, Barry, CF62 8HB, plus 2 further offices in Cardiff and Penarth. It also trades as Quality Solicitors J A Hughes (Practising Style for Quality Solicitors J A Hughes). The register carries 1 previous name, most recently J A Hughes with Godfrey Evans and Co. Its constitution is recorded as partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 8 areas of law: Commercial property, Wills and trusts, Personal Injury, Litigation, Probate, Family, Children and Residential property. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; a conveyancing price page was found at qualitysolicitors.com on 28 August 2026.
The head office postcode CF62 8HB falls within Vale of Glamorgan (Wales), where the SRA register lists 26 authorised firms with a practising office, 15 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Passmores Solicitors Limited (same postcode, Barry), Lancasters Solicitors (200 m, Barry), Tree Law Ltd (1.2 km, Barry), Vale Solicitors LTD (1.2 km, Barry) and Refreshing Law Limited (2.1 km, Y Barri). 2 of those 5 report residential property work.
The SRA records the firm's constitution as partnership, 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.
Across England and Wales this site's verified conveyancing legal fee for a purchase averages £1,575 (range £1,200 to £2,500) plus VAT, before disbursements. 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 J A Hughes reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Read them at qualitysolicitors.com (conveyancing price page located 28 August 2026). Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
