Girlings Solicitors LLP is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since October 2014 and recorded under SRA number 614527. The SRA record lists 4 practising offices: the head office at 16 Rose Lane, Canterbury, CT1 2UR, plus 3 further offices in Herne Bay and Ashford. It also trades as Girlings Solicitors. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 10 areas of law: Litigation, Employment, Children, Commercial property, Probate, Residential property, Family, Corporate (non-listed), Financial services 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, girlings.com, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.
The head office postcode CT1 2UR falls within Canterbury (South East), where the SRA register lists 30 authorised firms with a practising office, 16 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Girlings Personal Injury Claims LTD (same postcode, Canterbury), Furley Page LLP (100 m, Canterbury), Gabriel Rose Solicitors (200 m, Canterbury), Bond Joseph (300 m, Canterbury) and Loya Oluto Limited (400 m, Canterbury). 1 of those 5 reports residential property work.
The SRA record carries no company registration number for this firm even though its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership, so no Companies House record is cross-referenced.
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 Girlings Solicitors LLP 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 girlings.com 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.
