The Barrington Law Partnership is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 74369. The SRA record lists 2 practising offices: the head office at Barrington Chambers, Bishop Auckland, DL14 7JH, plus 1 further office in Bishop Auckland. It also trades as THE BARRINGTON LAW PARTNERSHIP (Practising style for Hodgson & Angus), HODGSON AND ANGUS (Practising style for Hodgson & Angus) and ANTHONY WALTERS AND COMPANY (Practising style for Hodgson & Angus). The register carries 1 previous name, most recently Hodgson & Angus. Its constitution is recorded as partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 9 areas of law: Wills and trusts, Residential property, Litigation, Family, Children, Corporate (listed), Commercial property, Probate and Landlord and tenant. 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 DL14 7JH falls within County Durham (North East), where the SRA register lists 36 authorised firms with a practising office, 29 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Hewitts (600 m, Bishop Auckland), C W Booth & Co (800 m, Bishop Auckland), Meikles Solicitors LLP (5.7 km, Spennymoor), Evans & Co (6.3 km, Spennymoor) and Greystone Legal LLP (9.7 km, Newton Aycliffe). 4 of those 5 report residential property work.
The SRA records the firm's constitution as partnership, 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 The Barrington Law Partnership 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.
