Ashtons Legal LLP is a licensed body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since March 2023 and recorded under SRA number 8003918. The SRA record lists 5 practising offices: the head office at The Long Barn, Bury St Edmunds, IP31 1SL, plus 4 further offices in Ipswich, Norwich, Cambridge and Leeds. It also trades as Heslop and Platt. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 12 areas of law: Planning, Residential property, Employment, Personal Injury, Corporate (non-listed), Family, Litigation, Non-litigation, Landlord and tenant, Commercial property, Wills and trusts and Probate. 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 ashtonslegal.co.uk on 28 August 2026, although the automated check could not confirm that it covers conveyancing.
The head office postcode IP31 1SL falls within West Suffolk (East of England), where the SRA register lists 23 authorised firms with a practising office, 15 of them reporting residential property work.

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 Ashtons Legal 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 ashtonslegal.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.
