"From centre" is the straight-line distance from the mean position of all practising offices in the district. Rows without a link are firms whose SRA record is too sparse for a page of their own. "Also reported" shows probate, wills and family where the firm reported them. The "Prices published" badge means we read a conveyancing price page on that firm's own website and confirmed what it covers; a firm without one may still publish prices we did not find. Hover or tap a row to find that office on the map.

Published conveyancing fees near Ipswich
5 firms within 25 km of the centre of the Ipswich district publish, on their own websites, a freehold purchase fee that covers a £300,000 property. The SRA Transparency Rules require the figure; we read each page and show the fee as the firm printed it, with the page and the date. Ordered by that published fee, lowest first. A range or "from" price is placed by its lower figure and labelled; a firm with a band table shows the band its own table assigns to £300,000. Other services, other prices and your own postcode are on the published-fee comparison.

Before you instruct a firm
- Check the firm on the SRA register (each firm page links to its entry) and confirm the SRA number on the firm's website matches.
- Read the published price page: it must show the total or a range, hourly rates or fixed fees, disbursements, VAT and timescales. See how to compare conveyancing quotes.
- A conveyancer does not need to be local; compare at least three written quotes, including an online conveyancer.
