Fairstep Solicitors Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since May 2017 and recorded under SRA number 638826. The SRA record lists 2 practising offices: the head office at 174-176 Hamilton Road, Felixstowe, IP11 7DU, plus 1 further office in Woodbridge. It also trades as Fairstep Solicitors. 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 5 areas of law: Landlord and tenant, Commercial property, Wills and trusts, Probate and Residential property. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website, fairstep.co.uk, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.
The head office postcode IP11 7DU falls within East Suffolk (East of England), where the SRA register lists 28 authorised firms with a practising office, 21 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Aquabridge Limited (100 m, Felixstowe), Creans Solicitors (800 m, Felixstowe), Barker Gotelee LLP (11.3 km, Ipswich), Amb Law Limited (12.4 km, Ipswich) and Nca (14.1 km, Woodbridge). 3 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.
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.

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 Fairstep Solicitors 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 fairstep.co.uk or ask the firm for the figures in writing. Compare against the national average of £1,575 plus VAT and the disbursements you will pay on top.
