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").

Conveyancing prices: published by the firm under SRA Transparency Rule 1

Because Rutters reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. The prices shown above, read 16 October 2026 from the firm's website, are for other services and do not include conveyancing. For conveyancing, ask the firm for a written quote. Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.

Quotes are provided by reallymoving, not by SolicitorCost and not by the firm on this page; firms on reallymoving's panel are not vetted or ranked by us. We earn a fee if you complete a quote request; it never affects any figure or listing on this site.

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.
