Clifford Johnston & Co Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since May 2025 and recorded under SRA number 8011344. The SRA record lists 2 practising offices: the head office at 434 Burnage Lane, Manchester, M19 1LH, plus 1 further office in Heaton Moor. It also trades as Clifford Johnston & Co Solicitors. 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 8 areas of law: Wills and trusts, Residential property, Mental Health, Family, Immigration, Criminal, Probate 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; a conveyancing price page was found at cj-law.co.uk on 28 August 2026 with a fee table.

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 Clifford Johnston & Co Limited reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. Read them at cj-law.co.uk (conveyancing price page located 28 August 2026, with a fee table). Compare against the verified Manchester band of £700 to £1,800 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
