Peter Dunn & Co Limited is a licensed body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since September 2024 and recorded under SRA number 569290. The SRA record lists 2 practising offices: the head office at 20 Athenaeum Street, Sunderland, SR1 1DH, plus 1 further office in Seaham. 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 9 areas of law: Landlord and tenant, Litigation, Probate, Employment, Family, Residential property, Children, Wills and trusts 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, peterdunn.co.uk, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.

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 Peter Dunn & Co Limited 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 peterdunn.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.
