Claire Skene LTD is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since May 2013 and recorded under SRA number 596889. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at Market Place, Alnwick, NE66 1HP. 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 7 areas of law: Probate, Litigation, Family, Residential property, Landlord and tenant, Commercial property and Employment. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; as the register lists no website for this firm, the rules say the information must be available on request.
The head office postcode NE66 1HP falls within Northumberland (North East), where the SRA register lists 39 authorised firms with a practising office, 25 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Adam Douglas Legal LLP (same postcode, Alnwick), Warcup Law Firm Limited (200 m, Alnwick), Hardington Hogg Solicitors LLP (300 m, Alnwick), Pierce Law Limited (300 m, Alnwick) and S J Palin & Co.

Its status on the Companies House bulk file dated 1 May 2026 is "Active". The registered office town is ALNWICK, 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 Claire Skene LTD reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. The SRA record lists no website, so ask the firm for the same information in writing; the rules require it on request. Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
