Charles Russell Speechlys Trustees Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 419376. The SRA record lists 3 practising offices: the head office at 5 Fleet Place, London, EC4M 7RD, plus 2 further offices in Guildford and Cheltenham. The register carries 1 previous name, most recently Charles Russell Trustees Limited. 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 14 areas of law: Intellectual Property, Personal Injury, Litigation, Probate, Corporate (listed), Immigration, Children, Commercial property, Wills and trusts, Employment, Non-litigation, Residential property, Family 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; the automated check on 28 August 2026 could not read charlesrussell.co.uk, so look for a fees page there or ask the firm.
The head office postcode EC4M 7RD falls within City of London (London), where the SRA register lists 756 authorised firms with a practising office, 178 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Charles Russell Speechlys Trustees (UK) Limited (same postcode, London), Charles Russell Speechlys LLP (same postcode, London), Hatton Trustees Two Limited (same postcode, London), Speechly Bircham Nominee Company Limited (same postcode, London) and Hatton Trustees Limited (same postcode, London). 4 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 incorporated company (limited by shares), so no Companies House record is cross-referenced.
For a home purchase in London (Central), this site's verified conveyancing legal fee range is £1,200 to £4,500 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 Charles Russell Speechlys Trustees 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 charlesrussell.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the verified London (Central) band of £1,200 to £4,500 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
