Plainlaw LLP is a licensed body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since April 2018 and recorded under SRA number 568812. The SRA record lists 2 practising offices: the head office at 11A West Way, Oxford, OX2 0JB, plus 1 further office in Oxford. It also trades as Plainlaw Solicitors. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 3 areas of law: Commercial property, Landlord and tenant 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; the check of plainlaw.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 OX2 0JB falls within Vale of White Horse (South East), where the SRA register lists 21 authorised firms with a practising office, 10 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Family First Solicitors Limited (200 m, Oxford), Jenny Harvey Immigration LTD (800 m, Oxford), Reeds Solicitors LLP (1.1 km, Oxford), White & Black Limited (2.1 km, Oxford) and Challenor Gardiner (2.1 km, Oxford). 1 of those 5 reports residential property work.
Companies House records the firm as PLAINLAW LLP (company number OC304983), a limited liability partnership incorporated on 1 July 2003, 23 years before this snapshot. Its status on the Companies House bulk file dated 1 May 2026 is "Active". The registered office town is OXFORD, 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 Plainlaw LLP 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 plainlaw.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.
