Dowding Solicitors Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since February 2020 and recorded under SRA number 667312. The SRA record lists 2 practising offices: the head office at 12a High Street, Loughborough, LE12 7RX, plus 1 further office in Leicester. It also trades as Dowding 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: Probate, Residential property and Wills and trusts. 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 dowdingsolicitors.co.uk on 28 August 2026.
The head office postcode LE12 7RX falls within Charnwood (East Midlands), where the SRA register lists 23 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 J L Tarr Limited (2.8 km, Mountsorrel), Sona Solicitors LTD (5.5 km, Leicester), BDM Legal Limited (6.7 km, Rearsby), Moss Solicitors LLP (7.7 km, Loughborough) and T. C. Dunbar Limited (7.7 km, Loughborough). 5 of those 5 report residential property work.
The SRA record carries no company registration number for this firm even though its constitution is recorded as incorporated company (limited by shares), so no Companies House record is cross-referenced.
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 Dowding Solicitors Limited reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Read them at dowdingsolicitors.co.uk (conveyancing price page located 28 August 2026). Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
