Honest answers.
How much does a UK solicitor cost?
It varies widely by practice area. A standard will costs £150 to £400. A residential conveyancing quote is typically £900 to £1,800 plus disbursements. Commercial contract review starts around £250 to £500 per hour but most firms offer fixed-fee packages for SMEs. The firms we match you against quote upfront so you can compare like-for-like before committing.
What is the difference between a solicitor and a barrister?
A solicitor is your day-to-day legal adviser: contracts, wills, conveyancing, employment matters, most disputes. A barrister is a specialist advocate brought in for courtroom representation in complex cases. For most issues a solicitor is what you need, and they will instruct a barrister on your behalf if the case escalates.
Are all the solicitors on your panel SRA-regulated?
Yes. Every solicitor and law firm on the Compare The Firm panel is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), the statutory regulator for solicitors in England and Wales. We link directly to the SRA register for every firm so you can verify before engaging.
Can I get a solicitor for free under legal aid?
Legal aid in England and Wales is limited to specific cases: serious family matters involving children at risk, housing emergencies, asylum, and some welfare matters. We do not currently match for legal aid work because most firms on our panel are private practice. If you need legal aid, GOV.UK has a checker at gov.uk/legal-aid.
How quickly can I speak to a solicitor through Compare The Firm?
Three best-fit firms reply by email within 24 hours of you completing the quiz. Most will offer a free initial 15 to 30 minute call within 48 hours. If your matter is genuinely urgent (court deadline within 7 days), say so in the urgency question and we surface firms with faster turnaround.
