Franklin & Co. Solicitors Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since March 2025 and recorded under SRA number 8011307. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at Town Hall Chambers, Bakewell, DE45 1DR. It also trades as Franklin & Co. 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 6 areas of law: Wills and trusts, Non-litigation, Probate, Commercial property, Residential property 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, franklin-solicitors.co.uk, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.
The head office postcode DE45 1DR falls within Derbyshire Dales (East Midlands), where the SRA register lists 9 authorised firms with a practising office, 7 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 Franklin & Co. 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 franklin-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.
