Somerville & Savage Solicitors is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 385892. The SRA record lists 2 practising offices: the head office at Alderbourne, Torquay, TQ1 4NJ, plus 1 further office in Torquay. It also trades as Allens Conveyancing and Family Matters Solicitors. Its constitution is recorded as unlimited company.
In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 5 areas of law: Commercial property, Probate, Landlord and tenant, Non-litigation 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; as the register lists no website for this firm, the rules say the information must be available on request.
The head office postcode TQ1 4NJ falls within Torbay (South West), where the SRA register lists 13 authorised firms with a practising office, 8 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Darby & Darby (200 m, Torquay), Devon Defence Solicitors and Advocates (900 m, Torquay), Andrea Law Limited (1.2 km, Torquay), Almy & Thomas Limited (1.7 km, Torquay) and Wollen Michelmore LLP (2.2 km, Torquay). 3 of those 5 report residential property work.
The SRA record carries no company registration number for this firm even though its constitution is recorded as unlimited company, so no Companies House record is cross-referenced.
Across England and Wales this site's verified conveyancing legal fee for a purchase averages £1,575 (range £1,200 to £2,500) plus VAT, before disbursements. 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 Somerville & Savage Solicitors reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. The SRA record lists no website, so ask the firm for the same information in writing; the rules require it on request. Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
