Wake Smith Solicitors Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since March 2013 and recorded under SRA number 573270. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at No 1 Velocity, Sheffield, S1 4BY. It also trades as Wake Smith Solicitors. The register carries 1 previous name, most recently Wake Smith (Services) LTD. 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: Family, Personal Injury, Residential property, Probate, Commercial property, Corporate (non-listed), Litigation, Employment and Wills and trusts. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; a pricing page was found on wake-smith.co.uk on 28 August 2026, although the automated check could not confirm that it covers conveyancing.

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 Wake Smith Solicitors Limited reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. A pricing page was found on 28 August 2026 but its conveyancing scope is unconfirmed. Look for a fees page at wake-smith.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified Sheffield band of £650 to £1,550 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
