Timms is a licensed body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since October 2022 and recorded under SRA number 56618. The SRA record lists 4 practising offices: the head office at 5 Queen Street, Derby, DE1 3DL, plus 3 further offices in Swadlincote, Burton on Trent and Ashby-De-La-Zouch. It also trades as Timms Solicitors. Its constitution is recorded as partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 7 areas of law: Commercial property, Wills and trusts, Family, Personal Injury, Children, Residential property and Planning. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website, timms-law.com, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.
The head office postcode DE1 3DL falls within Derby (East Midlands), where the SRA register lists 51 authorised firms with a practising office, 22 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are F E C Moffat Limited (same postcode, Derby), Timms Solicitors LLP (same postcode, Derby), Bradley and Jefferies Solicitors Limited (same postcode, Derby), SKR Legal Limited (200 m, Derby) and Stephen Oldham Solicitors (200 m, Derby). 1 of those 5 reports 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.
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 Timms 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 timms-law.com 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.
