Blackett Hart & Pratt LLP is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 442870. The SRA record lists 5 practising offices: the head office at Westgate House, Darlington, DL3 0PZ, plus 4 further offices in Tynemouth, Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne. It also trades as BHP Law. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.

In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 12 areas of law: Personal Injury, Wills and trusts, Probate, Family, Non-litigation, Litigation, Corporate (non-listed), Children, Residential property, Employment, Commercial property and Mental Health. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website; a pricing page was found on bhplaw.co.uk on 28 August 2026, although the automated check could not confirm that it covers conveyancing.

The head office postcode DL3 0PZ falls within Darlington (North East), where the SRA register lists 20 authorised firms with a practising office, 14 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Dma Law Limited (2.2 km, Darlington), CJK Legal (2.3 km, Darlington), Clark Willis Solicitors LTD (2.3 km, Darlington), Latimer Hinks Holdings Limited (2.4 km, Darlington) and Latimer Hinks Solicitors Limited (2.4 km, Darlington). 3 of those 5 report residential property work.

Companies House records the firm as BLACKETT HART & PRATT LLP (company number OC319059), a limited liability partnership incorporated on 11 April 2006, 20 years before this snapshot. Its status on the Companies House bulk file dated 1 May 2026 is "Active". The registered office town is DARLINGTON, the same as the head office.

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.

Because Blackett Hart & Pratt LLP reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website.

Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
