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 Fairweather Law Limited reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Read them at fairweatherlaw.co.uk (conveyancing price page located 28 August 2026, with a fee table). Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
