Merchant Legal Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since October 2023 and recorded under SRA number 8004728. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at 973 Stockport Road, Manchester, M19 3NP. 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: Residential property, Immigration and Commercial property. 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 M19 3NP falls within Manchester (North West), where the SRA register lists 406 authorised firms with a practising office, 120 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Allied Solicitors Limited (same postcode, Manchester), Nayyars Solicitors Limited (same postcode, Manchester), United Solicitors Limited (same postcode, Manchester), MCR Law Associates Limited (100 m, Manchester) and Rhek Solicitors Ltd (200 m, Manchester). 3 of those 5 report residential property work.
Companies House records the firm as MERCHANT LEGAL LIMITED (company number 12805429), a private limited company incorporated on 11 August 2020, 6 years before this snapshot. Its status on the Companies House bulk file dated 1 May 2026 is "Active". The registered office town is MANCHESTER, the same as the head office.
For a home purchase in Manchester, this site's verified conveyancing legal fee range is £700 to £1,800 plus VAT, before disbursements such as searches and the Land Registry fee. 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 Merchant Legal Limited 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 verified Manchester band of £700 to £1,800 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
