BB Legal Limited is a licensed body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since December 2017 and recorded under SRA number 543429. The SRA record lists 5 practising offices: the head office at 81 Fountain Street, Manchester, M2 2EE, plus 4 further offices in Leyland, Southport, Morecambe and Preston. It also trades as Kevill Kirkham & Grayson (Practising Style for BB Legal Limited), Birchall Blackburn Law and Birchall Blackburn. Its constitution is recorded as incorporated company (limited by shares).
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 6 areas of law: Personal Injury, Residential property, Probate, Commercial property, Wills and trusts and Family. 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 birchallblackburn.co.uk on 28 August 2026, although the automated check could not confirm that it covers conveyancing.
The head office postcode M2 2EE falls within Manchester (North West), where the SRA register lists 406 authorised firms with a practising office, 120 of them reporting residential property work.

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 BB Legal Limited 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 birchallblackburn.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified Manchester band of £700 to £1,800 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
