Ashtons Legal LLP is a licensed body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since March 2023 and recorded under SRA number 8003918. The SRA record lists 5 practising offices: the head office at The Long Barn, Bury St Edmunds, IP31 1SL, plus 4 further offices in Ipswich, Norwich, Cambridge and Leeds. It also trades as Heslop and Platt. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.

In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 12 areas of law: Probate, Family, Litigation, Employment, Personal Injury, Corporate (non-listed), Non-litigation, Landlord and tenant, Commercial property, Wills and trusts, Planning 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; a pricing page was found on ashtonslegal.co.uk on 28 August 2026, although the automated check could not confirm that it covers conveyancing.

The head office postcode IP31 1SL falls within West Suffolk (East of England), where the SRA register lists 23 authorised firms with a practising office, 15 of them reporting residential property work. The nearest other SRA-regulated firms by straight-line distance from the head office are Ashtons Legal Trust Corporation Limited (same postcode, Bury St. Edmunds), Willett & Co (3.0 km, Bury St. Edmunds), Risbygate Solicitors (3.1 km, Bury St. Edmunds), Gallagher Law (3.3 km, Bury St. Edmunds) and Churchgate Accountants Limited (3.3 km, Bury St Edmunds). 3 of those 5 report residential property work.

Companies House records the firm as ASHTONS LEGAL LLP (company number OC445631), a limited liability partnership incorporated on 1 February 2023, 3 years before this snapshot. Its status on the Companies House bulk file dated 1 May 2026 is "Active". The registered office town is BURY ST. EDMUNDS, which differs from the practising head office town.

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.
