Paul Dodds Law is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since November 2011 and recorded under SRA number 48849. The SRA record lists 1 practising office: the head office at 70 High Street East, Wallsend, NE28 7RH. The register carries 5 previous names, most recently Paul Dodds Hindson. Its constitution is recorded as partnership.

In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 9 areas of law: Family, Wills and trusts, Probate, Children, Litigation, Commercial property, Residential property, Employment and Personal Injury. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website, pauldodds.co.uk, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.

The head office postcode NE28 7RH falls within North Tyneside (North East), where the SRA register lists 22 authorised firms with a practising office, 10 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are R Metcalf Limited (200 m, Tyne and Wear), Geoffrey Forrester & Co Limited (2.6 km, Jarrow), Ian Cruickshank & Co. Limited (2.8 km, Jarrow), The Associate Law Firm Limited (3.1 km, Newcastle upon Tyne) and Brar & Co LTD (3.1 km, Newcastle Upon Tyne). 4 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.

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.
