Lesley Smith Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 462070. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at South Cheshire House, Nantwich, CW5 5LX. 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 8 areas of law: Landlord and tenant, Wills and trusts, Corporate (listed), Family, Residential property, Employment, Commercial property and Litigation. 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 CW5 5LX falls within Cheshire East (North West), where the SRA register lists 94 authorised firms with a practising office, 43 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Jamie Want Limited (same postcode, Nantwich), Bowcock Cuerden LLP (same postcode, Nantwich), CPW Limited (same postcode, Nantwich), Hall Smith Whittingham LLP (400 m, Nantwich) and Hibberts LLP (500 m, Nantwich). 3 of those 5 report residential property work.
Companies House records the firm as LESLEY SMITH LIMITED (company number 06177456), a private limited company incorporated on 21 March 2007, 19 years before this snapshot. Its status on the Companies House bulk file dated 1 May 2026 is "Active". The registered office town is CHESHIRE, 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 Lesley Smith 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 national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
