In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 1 area of law: Criminal. Residential property is not among the reported areas, so the firm does not appear in the conveyancing lists on this site's town and city pages.
The head office postcode TQ1 4HA falls within Torbay (South West), where the SRA register lists 13 authorised firms with a practising office, 8 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Andrea Law Limited (700 m, Torquay), Somerville & Savage Solicitors (900 m, Torquay), Darby & Darby (1.0 km, Torquay), Almy & Thomas Limited (1.6 km, Torquay) and Wollen Michelmore LLP (2.2 km, Torquay). 4 of those 5 report residential property work.
