In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 10 areas of law: Probate, Landlord and tenant, Employment, Family, Personal Injury, Litigation, Children, Commercial property, Corporate (non-listed) and Residential property.

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 John Howe & Co Solicitors 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 jhowe.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified Leeds band of £700 to £1,750 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
