Gales Solicitors Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since December 2023 and recorded under SRA number 8006771. The SRA record lists 3 practising offices: the head office at 512 Wimborne Road, Bournemouth, BH9 2ET, plus 2 further offices in Bournemouth and Christchurch.

In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 11 areas of law: Consumer, Residential property, Family, Personal Injury, Employment, Probate, Children, Commercial property, Landlord and tenant, Litigation 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, gales-solicitors.co.uk, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.
The head office postcode BH9 2ET falls within Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (South West), where the SRA register lists 56 authorised firms with a practising office, 33 of them reporting residential property work.

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 Gales Solicitors Limited reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Look for a fees page at gales-solicitors.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.
