Watkins Solicitors is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 388812. The SRA record lists 5 practising offices: the head office at 192 North Street, Bristol, BS3 1JF, plus 4 further offices in Bath, Bristol, Hereford and Evesham. It also trades as Watkins Solicitors Incorporating Brain Sinnott & Co. Its constitution is recorded as partnership.

In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 7 areas of law: Residential property, Wills and trusts, Litigation, Probate, Children, Family and Non-litigation. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; a pricing page was found on watkinssolicitors.co.uk on 28 August 2026, although the automated check could not confirm that it covers conveyancing.

The head office postcode BS3 1JF falls within Bristol (South West), where the SRA register lists 151 authorised firms with a practising office, 51 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Peter Burrows & Co (same postcode, Bristol), Barcan Woodward (500 m, Bristol), Roxburgh Milkins Limited (1.2 km, Bristol), Sansbury Douglas (1.4 km, Bristol) and Veale Wasbrough Executor and Trustee Company (1.4 km, Bristol). 1 of those 5 reports 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.

For a home purchase in Bristol, this site's verified conveyancing legal fee range is £750 to £1,850 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

Residential propertyWills and trustsLitigationProbateChildrenFamilyNon-litigation

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.

Conveyancing prices: published by the firm under SRA Transparency Rule 1

Because Watkins Solicitors reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. A pricing page was found on 28 August 2026 but its conveyancing scope is unconfirmed. Look for a fees page at watkinssolicitors.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified Bristol band of £750 to £1,850 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
