Foreman Laws LLP is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 556111. The SRA record lists 3 practising offices: the head office at 25 Bancroft, Hitchin, SG5 1JW, plus 2 further offices in Welwyn Garden City and Old Harlow. It also trades as HRJ Foreman Laws and Railton Law. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 7 areas of law: Family, Commercial property, Litigation, Wills and trusts, Residential property, Corporate (non-listed) and Probate. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website, hrjforemanlaws.co.uk, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.
The head office postcode SG5 1JW falls within North Hertfordshire (East of England), where the SRA register lists 16 authorised firms with a practising office, 11 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 Foreman Laws 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 hrjforemanlaws.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.
