Wards Solicitors LLP is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since February 2018 and recorded under SRA number 646117. The SRA record lists 14 practising offices: the head office at Prudential Building, Bristol, BS1 2PH, plus 13 further offices in Bristol, Clevedon, Nailsea and Weston-super-Mare. It also trades as Wards Solicitors. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 8 areas of law: Corporate (non-listed), Family, Litigation, Commercial property, Personal Injury, Residential property, Probate and Criminal. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; a pricing page was found on wards.uk.com on 28 August 2026, although the automated check could not confirm that it covers conveyancing.
The head office postcode BS1 2PH falls within Bristol (South West), where the SRA register lists 151 authorised firms with a practising office, 51 of them reporting residential property work.

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 Wards Solicitors LLP reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. A pricing page was found on 28 August 2026 but its conveyancing scope is unconfirmed. Look for a fees page at wards.uk.com or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified Bristol band of £750 to £1,850 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
