Swinburne Maddison LLP is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 551177. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at Venture House, Durham, DH1 5TS. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 10 areas of law: Commercial property, Landlord and tenant, Family, Employment, Corporate (non-listed), Litigation, Probate, Wills and trusts, Non-litigation and Residential property. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website, swinburnemaddison.co.uk, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.
The head office postcode DH1 5TS falls within County Durham (North East), where the SRA register lists 36 authorised firms with a practising office, 29 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Cooper Stott Solicitors LTD (200 m, Durham), Cooper & McGurk LTD (200 m, Durham), Kepier Law (1.6 km, Durham), Lever Law Limited (1.8 km, Durham) and Barbara Thubron (1.8 km, Durham). 3 of those 5 report residential property work.
The SRA record carries company registration number CO356032, which did not match a live entry in the Companies House bulk file dated 1 May 2026; the number may be mistyped in the register or belong to a dissolved company.
Across England and Wales this site's verified conveyancing legal fee for a purchase averages £1,575 (range £1,200 to £2,500) plus VAT, before disbursements. 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 Swinburne Maddison LLP reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Look for a fees page at swinburnemaddison.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
