Hartley Thomas & Wright is a recognised sole practice authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2018 and recorded under SRA number 653896. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at Town Hall Chambers, Rochdale, OL16 1LW. Its constitution is recorded as sole practitioner.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 5 areas of law: Commercial property, Landlord and tenant, Wills and trusts, Residential property and Probate. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; as the register lists no website for this firm, the rules say the information must be available on request.
The head office postcode OL16 1LW falls within Rochdale (North West), where the SRA register lists 49 authorised firms with a practising office, 19 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Hartley Thomas & Wright Limited (same postcode, Rochdale), Michael Salt (same postcode, Rochdale), Connor Ross-Brown Solicitors (100 m, Rochdale), Adamson Legal LTD (100 m, Rochdale) and Powells Walton & Co Limited (100 m, Rochdale). 1 of those 5 reports residential property work.
The SRA records the firm's constitution as sole practitioner, a structure with no Companies House registration, so there is no company record to cross-reference; the SRA authorisation record is the only public register entry for the firm.
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 Hartley Thomas & Wright reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. The SRA record lists no website, so ask the firm for the same information in writing; the rules require it on request. Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
