Margetts & Ritchie is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 52761. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at 331 Gazette Buildings, Birmingham, B4 6TF. Its constitution is recorded as partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 4 areas of law: Residential property, Commercial property, Wills and trusts and Probate. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; a conveyancing price page was found at margetts-ritchie.com on 28 August 2026.
The head office postcode B4 6TF falls within Birmingham (West Midlands), where the SRA register lists 406 authorised firms with a practising office, 149 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Harringtons Legal LLP (same postcode, Birmingham), Mian & Co (same postcode, Birmingham), Murria Solicitors Limited (same postcode, Birmingham), Coleridge Law LTD (100 m, Birmingham) and Purcell Parker LTD (100 m, Birmingham). 1 of those 5 reports 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 Birmingham, this site's verified conveyancing legal fee range is £700 to £1,700 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 Margetts & Ritchie reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Read them at margetts-ritchie.com (conveyancing price page located 28 August 2026). Compare against the verified Birmingham band of £700 to £1,700 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
