John Fowlers LLP is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 472819. The SRA record lists 3 practising offices: the head office at Town Hall Chambers, Colchester, CO1 1DS, plus 2 further offices in Colchester and West Mersea. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 10 areas of law: Criminal, Children, Probate, Employment, Family, Litigation, Landlord and tenant, Residential property, Commercial property and Wills and trusts. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website, johnfowlers.co.uk, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.
The head office postcode CO1 1DS falls within Colchester (East of England), where the SRA register lists 34 authorised firms with a practising office, 20 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Sparling Benham & Brough (same postcode, Colchester), Legal Comfort Associates Limited (200 m, Colchester), Kew Law LLP (200 m, Colchester), Crown Legal Consultancy LTD (300 m, Colchester) and Obw Perera LTD (300 m, Colchester). 3 of those 5 report residential property work.

The registered office town is COLCHESTER, the same as the head office.
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 John Fowlers LLP 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 johnfowlers.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.
