SRA-regulated solicitors in Sefton: 23 firms reporting residential property

42 authorised firms with a practising office in the Sefton district on 28 August 2026, from the SRA's own data feed. Conveyancing firms first, ordered by distance from the centre of the district's offices; every one must publish its prices under the SRA Transparency Rules.

On 28 August 2026 the SRA register listed 42 authorised firms with a practising office in Sefton, operating 51 offices between them. 23 firms report residential property work in the most recent annual return, 35 list a website and 23 have more than one practising office.

Every one of the 23 firms reporting residential property work is required by the SRA Transparency Rules to publish its conveyancing prices on its website, or to supply them on request where it has none. 21 of them list a website in the register, and this site has located a published price page for 8. For context, the national purchase legal fee on this site averages £1,575 plus VAT (range £1,200 to £2,500).

Before you instruct a firm

• Check the firm on the SRA register (each firm page links to its entry) and confirm the SRA number on the firm's website matches.
• Read the published price page: it must show the total or a range, hourly rates or fixed fees, disbursements, VAT and timescales. See how to compare conveyancing quotes.
• A conveyancer does not need to be local; compare at least three written quotes, including an online conveyancer.
