Ellis-Fermor & Negus Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since July 2021 and recorded under SRA number 567496. The SRA record lists 5 practising offices: the head office at 5 Market Place, Ripley, DE5 3BS, plus 4 further offices in Nottingham and Belper. It also trades as Ellis - Fermor & Negus LTD and Ellis-Fermor & Negus. 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 10 areas of law: Residential property, Wills and trusts, Employment, Family, Probate, Commercial property, Non-litigation, Landlord and tenant, Corporate (non-listed) and Personal Injury. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; the check of ellis-fermor.co.uk on 28 August 2026 did not find a published conveyancing price page, so ask the firm for the figures the rules require.
The head office postcode DE5 3BS falls within Amber Valley (East Midlands), where the SRA register lists 15 authorised firms with a practising office, 13 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are P.B.S.Solicitors (100 m, Ripley), E G Legal (300 m, Ripley), Broadbents Solicitors LLP (5.1 km, Heanor), Rickards and Cleaver (5.2 km, Alfreton) and SJ Shaw Limited (5.3 km, Alfreton). 4 of those 5 report residential property work.
Companies House records the firm as ELLIS-FERMOR & NEGUS LIMITED (company number 07853015), a private limited company incorporated on 18 November 2011, 14 years before this snapshot. Its status on the Companies House bulk file dated 1 May 2026 is "Active". The registered office town is RIPLEY, the same as the head office.
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 Ellis-Fermor & Negus Limited reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Our check on 28 August 2026 did not find a conveyancing price page. Look for a fees page at ellis-fermor.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.
