Guy Williams Layton LLP is a licensed body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since April 2022 and recorded under SRA number 627437. The SRA record lists 2 practising offices: the head office at 4th Floor, Castle Chambers, Liverpool, L2 9SH, plus 1 further office in Wirral. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 6 areas of law: Landlord and tenant, Litigation, Probate, Wills and trusts, Commercial property and Residential property. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; a conveyancing price page was found at gwl.co.uk on 28 August 2026 with a fee table.
The head office postcode L2 9SH falls within Liverpool (North West), where the SRA register lists 174 authorised firms with a practising office, 56 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Danmaur Commercial Law Limited (same postcode, Liverpool), The National Law Firm Ltd (same postcode, Liverpool), Canters Crime LTD (100 m, Liverpool), LLM Liverpool Ltd (100 m, Liverpool) and Lilac Law Ltd (100 m, Liverpool). 1 of those 5 reports residential property work.
Companies House records the firm as GUY WILLIAMS LAYTON LLP (company number OC401033), a limited liability partnership incorporated on 28 July 2015, 11 years before this snapshot.

For a home purchase in Liverpool, this site's verified conveyancing legal fee range is £650 to £1,600 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 Guy Williams Layton LLP reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Read them at gwl.co.uk (conveyancing price page located 28 August 2026, with a fee table). Compare against the verified Liverpool band of £650 to £1,600 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
