HS Legal Solicitors LTD is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since July 2016 and recorded under SRA number 630538. The SRA record lists 2 practising offices: the head office at 7a Magdalen Street, Colchester, CO1 2JT, plus 1 further office in Ipswich. It also trades as HS Legal 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 3 areas of law: Residential property, Immigration and Commercial property. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website, hs-legal.co.uk, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.
The head office postcode CO1 2JT falls within Colchester (East of England), where the SRA register lists 34 authorised firms with a practising office, 20 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Chancery West Law Limited (300 m, Colchester), Highwood Solicitors Limited (300 m, Colchester), Sparling Benham & Brough (600 m, Colchester), John Fowlers LLP (600 m, Colchester) and Legal Comfort Associates Limited (700 m, Colchester). 4 of those 5 report residential property work.
Companies House records the firm as HS LEGAL SOLICITORS LTD (company number 09563764), a private limited company incorporated on 27 April 2015, 11 years before this snapshot. Its status on the Companies House bulk file dated 1 May 2026 is "Active". The registered office town is COLCHESTER, 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 HS Legal Solicitors LTD 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 hs-legal.co.uk 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.
