Stepien Lake LLP is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 532987. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at 43 Welbeck Street, London, W1G 8DX. It also trades as Polarus. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 5 areas of law: Planning, Landlord and tenant, Residential property, Litigation and Commercial property. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; the check of stepienlake.co.uk on 28 August 2026 did not find a published conveyancing price page, so ask the firm for the figures the rules require.
The head office postcode W1G 8DX falls within Westminster (London), where the SRA register lists 446 authorised firms with a practising office, 142 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Underwood Solicitors LLP (same postcode, London), Riaa Barker Gillette (UK) LLP (same postcode, London), Henri Brandman & Co (100 m, London), Be Equal Limited (100 m, London) and MCF Law LLP (100 m, London). 2 of those 5 report residential property work.
Companies House records the firm as STEPIEN LAKE LLP (company number OC340296), a limited liability partnership incorporated on 23 September 2008, 17 years before this snapshot.

For a home purchase in London (Central), this site's verified conveyancing legal fee range is £1,200 to £4,500 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 Stepien Lake LLP reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Our check on 28 August 2026 did not find a conveyancing price page. Look for a fees page at stepienlake.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified London (Central) band of £1,200 to £4,500 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
