Biscoes Legal Services Limited is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since December 2017 and recorded under SRA number 644797. The SRA record lists 9 practising offices: the head office at 2 Port Way, Portsmouth, PO6 4TY, plus 8 further offices in Ryde, Waterlooville, Fareham, Portsmouth, Petersfield and Bordon and 2 other towns. It also trades as Biscoes. 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 14 areas of law: Commercial property, Residential property, Children, Probate, Mental Health, Social Welfare, Wills and trusts, Immigration, Personal Injury, Non-litigation, Employment, Litigation, Family and Corporate (listed). Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website, biscoes-law.co.uk, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.

The head office postcode PO6 4TY falls within Portsmouth (South East), where the SRA register lists 22 authorised firms with a practising office, 16 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Denton Property Law Limited (same postcode, Portsmouth), Wessex Solicitors Chambers Limited (2.4 km, Portsmouth), Larcomes Legal Limited (3.4 km, Portsmouth), Andrew & Andrew Solicitors Limited (4.0 km, Portsmouth) and Churchers Solicitors LLP (5.2 km, Fareham). 4 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.
