Squire Patton Boggs Secretaries Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 325866. The SRA record lists 4 practising offices: the head office at 19 Cornwall Street, Birmingham, B3 2DX, plus 3 further offices in Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham. The register carries 5 previous names, most recently Hammonds Secretaries Limited. Its constitution is recorded as incorporated company (limited by shares).
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 11 areas of law: Litigation, Residential property, Intellectual Property, Corporate (listed), Corporate (non-listed), Employment, Commercial property, ADR, Immigration, Non-litigation and Planning. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; as the register lists no website for this firm, the rules say the information must be available on request.
The head office postcode B3 2DX falls within Birmingham (West Midlands), where the SRA register lists 406 authorised firms with a practising office, 149 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Squire Patton Boggs Secretarial Services Limited (same postcode, Birmingham), The Trustee Corporation Limited (same postcode, Birmingham), Medical Accident Group Limited (same postcode, Birmingham), Squire Patton Boggs Park Lane Limited (same postcode, Birmingham) and The Wilkes Partnership LLP (100 m, Birmingham). 2 of those 5 report residential property work.
Companies House records the firm as SQUIRE PATTON BOGGS SECRETARIES LIMITED (company number 02806507), a private limited company incorporated on 2 April 1993, 33 years before this snapshot. Its status on the Companies House bulk file dated 1 May 2026 is "Active". Companies House also lists 3 earlier registered names, most recently SQUIRE SANDERS SECRETARIES LIMITED. The registered office town is LONDON, which differs from the practising head office town.
For a home purchase in Birmingham, this site's verified conveyancing legal fee range is £700 to £1,700 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 Squire Patton Boggs Secretaries Limited reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. The SRA record lists no website, so ask the firm for the same information in writing; the rules require it on request. Compare against the verified Birmingham band of £700 to £1,700 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
