Leathes Prior is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 53782. The SRA record lists 4 practising offices: the head office at 74 The Close, Norwich, NR1 4DR, plus 3 further offices in Norwich and Ipswich. It also trades as Employmentor. Its constitution is recorded as partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 13 areas of law: Landlord and tenant, Non-litigation, Probate, Litigation, Residential property, Personal Injury, Family, Wills and trusts, Commercial property, Criminal, Children, Corporate (non-listed) and Employment. 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 leathesprior.co.uk on 28 August 2026, although the automated check could not confirm that it covers conveyancing.
The head office postcode NR1 4DR falls within Norwich (East of England), where the SRA register lists 46 authorised firms with a practising office, 26 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Hansells (100 m, Norwich), Act Solicitors LTD (100 m, Norwich), Longe and Co (100 m, Norwich), Spire Solicitors LLP (200 m, Norwich) and Fosters Solicitors LLP (200 m, Norwich). 3 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 Norwich, 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 Leathes Prior 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 leathesprior.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified Norwich band of £650 to £1,600 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
