Gill Akaster LLP is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 511139. The SRA record lists 2 practising offices: the head office at 25 Lockyer Street, Plymouth, PL1 2QW, plus 1 further office in Bath. It also trades as GA Solicitors. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 11 areas of law: Family, Personal Injury, Wills and trusts, Corporate (non-listed), Residential property, Employment, Probate, Commercial property, Landlord and tenant, Children and Litigation. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; a pricing page was found on gasolicitors.com on 28 August 2026, although the automated check could not confirm that it covers conveyancing.
The head office postcode PL1 2QW falls within Plymouth (South West), where the SRA register lists 39 authorised firms with a practising office, 19 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Plymouth Defence Solicitors Limited (200 m, Plymouth), Symonds Solicitors Limited (200 m, Plymouth), Bright (South West) LLP (400 m, Plymouth), Gard & Co (500 m, Plymouth) and Macs Legal Services LTD (600 m, Plymouth). 2 of those 5 report residential property work.
Companies House records the firm as GILL AKASTER LLP (company number OC344691), a limited liability partnership incorporated on 6 April 2009, 17 years before this snapshot.

For a home purchase in Plymouth, this site's verified conveyancing legal fee range is £650 to £1,550 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 Gill Akaster LLP reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. A pricing page was found on 28 August 2026 but its conveyancing scope is unconfirmed. Look for a fees page at gasolicitors.com or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified Plymouth band of £650 to £1,550 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
