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 Sterling Lawyers LTD reports residential property work, it must publish its conveyancing price, charging basis, disbursements, VAT treatment and timescales on its website. A pricing page was found on 28 August 2026 but its conveyancing scope is unconfirmed. The prices shown above, read 18 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 verified London (Central) band of £1,200 to £4,500 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
