Defank Solicitors is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since April 2022 and recorded under SRA number 838591. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at 92 Coldharbour Lane, London, SE5 9PU. Its constitution is recorded as partnership.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 5 areas of law: Immigration, Family, Criminal, Commercial property and Residential property. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website, defanksolicitors.com, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.
The head office postcode SE5 9PU falls within Lambeth (London), where the SRA register lists 66 authorised firms with a practising office, 23 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Peter Thomson (500 m, London), Anthony Ogunfeibo & Co (500 m, London), Meaby & Co Solicitors LLP (600 m, London), Stephens Happyman & Co Solicitors Limited (600 m, London) and Avc Solicitors LTD (600 m, London). 2 of those 5 report residential property work.
The SRA records the firm's constitution as partnership, a structure with no Companies House registration, so there is no company record to cross-reference; the SRA authorisation record is the only public register entry for the firm.
For a home purchase in London (Outer), this site's verified conveyancing legal fee range is £950 to £2,400 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 Defank Solicitors 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 defanksolicitors.com or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified London (Outer) band of £950 to £2,400 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
