Philip J Hammond & Sons is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 50561. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at 47 Friar Lane, Leicester, LE1 5QX. Its constitution is recorded as partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 9 areas of law: Commercial property, Wills and trusts, Litigation, Family, Children, Landlord and tenant, Residential property, Corporate (non-listed) and Probate. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; the automated check on 28 August 2026 could not read pjhammond.com, so look for a fees page there or ask the firm.
The head office postcode LE1 5QX falls within Leicester (East Midlands), where the SRA register lists 109 authorised firms with a practising office, 45 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Salhan Dharna Limited (same postcode, Leicester), Dodds Solicitors LLP (same postcode, Leicester), Douglas Wemyss Solicitors LLP (same postcode, Leicester), City Criminal Lawyers LTD (same postcode, Leicester) and Agr Law LTD (100 m, Leicester). 2 of those 5 report residential property work.
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.
For a home purchase in Leicester, this site's verified conveyancing legal fee range is £650 to £1,600 plus VAT, before disbursements such as searches and the Land Registry fee. 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 Philip J Hammond & Sons 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 pjhammond.com or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified Leicester band of £650 to £1,600 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
