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 Abels reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Our check on 28 August 2026 did not find a conveyancing price page. Look for a fees page at abels-solicitors.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified Southampton band of £800 to £2,100 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
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.
