The SRA record lists 4 practising offices: the head office at Bunbury House, Blandford Forum, DT11 9LQ, plus 3 further offices in Dorchester, Shaftesbury and Weymouth.

In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 12 areas of law: Family, Landlord and tenant, Non-litigation, ADR, Litigation, Corporate (non-listed), Children, Commercial property, Employment, Residential property, Probate 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, blanchardsbailey.co.uk, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.

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 Blanchards Bailey 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 blanchardsbailey.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.
