Cleaver Thompson Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 388160. The SRA record lists 2 practising offices: the head office at 5 & 7 King Street, Alfreton, DE55 7AE, plus 1 further office in Chesterfield. 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: Wills and trusts, Probate, Children, Commercial property, Landlord and tenant, Litigation, Family, Non-litigation, Residential property, Employment and Personal Injury. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website, cleaverthompson.co.uk, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.
The head office postcode DE55 7AE falls within Amber Valley (East Midlands), where the SRA register lists 15 authorised firms with a practising office, 13 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are SJ Shaw Limited (same postcode, Alfreton), Ab Law Limited (same postcode, Alfreton), Aj Turner Limited (same postcode, Alfreton), Rickards and Cleaver (100 m, Alfreton) and Ellis-Fermor & Negus Limited (5.3 km, Ripley). 5 of those 5 report residential property work.
Companies House records the firm as CLEAVER THOMPSON LIMITED (company number 04889150), a private limited company incorporated on 5 September 2003, 22 years before this snapshot. Its status on the Companies House bulk file dated 1 May 2026 is "Active". The registered office town is DERBYSHIRE, which differs from the practising head office town.
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 Cleaver Thompson Limited 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 cleaverthompson.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
