The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at 38 West Sunniside, Sunderland, SR1 1BU. It also trades as Brian Mackenow & Co. 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 7 areas of law: Residential property, Corporate (non-listed), Litigation, Non-litigation, Wills and trusts, Probate 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; as the register lists no website for this firm, the rules say the information must be available on request.

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 Brian Mackenow & Co Limited reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. The SRA record lists no website, so ask the firm for the same information in writing; the rules require it on request. Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
