Thornes Legal Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since September 2013 and recorded under SRA number 598412. The SRA record lists 2 practising offices: the head office at Lich Gates, Wolverhampton, WV1 1UA, plus 1 further office in Wolverhampton. It also trades as Thornes the Solicitors. 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 5 areas of law: Probate, Family, Residential property, Wills and trusts and Children. 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 thornessolicitors.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 WV1 1UA falls within Wolverhampton (West Midlands), where the SRA register lists 44 authorised firms with a practising office, 23 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Smith Dawson (200 m, Wolverhampton), D & N Solicitors (200 m, Wolverhampton), Legal Affairs Solicitors (200 m, Wolverhampton), Rees Page (300 m, Wolverhampton) and Aequus Solicitors Ltd (300 m, Wolverhampton). 1 of those 5 reports residential property work.
Companies House records the firm as THORNES LEGAL LIMITED (company number 08563982), a private limited company incorporated on 11 June 2013, 13 years before this snapshot. Its status on the Companies House bulk file dated 1 May 2026 is "Active". The registered office town is WOLVERHAMPTON, the same as the head office.
For a home purchase in Wolverhampton, this site's verified conveyancing legal fee range is £620 to £1,500 plus VAT, before disbursements such as searches and the Land Registry fee. 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 Thornes Legal Limited 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 thornessolicitors.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified Wolverhampton band of £620 to £1,500 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
