About Jeffreys & Powell

Established for over 100 years Jeffreys & Powell is a traditional firm of Solicitors  providing high quality legal advice  coupled with excellent client support. 

We offer a comprehensive range of legal services,     

including Commercial and Residential

Conveyancing,  Landlord and Tenant,  Inheritance Tax

Planning, Agriculture including Partnership advice

and Agreements, 

Wills, Trusts  and Probate,  Lasting

 Powers of Attorney, Civil Litigation and Family Law

We were licensed as an Alternative Business Structure in May 2013

 

We were established in 1901 and were initially based in Castle Street. The firm moved to Lion Street in the 1950s. Our client base is largely agricultural, but certainly not exclusively so. We aim to provide a wide range of legal services to meet the needs of all of our clients. We reluctantly took the decision some years ago, and as a result of changes to the structure of public funding, not to undertake any legal aid work, nor do we deal with criminal cases. We are committed to providing a high standard of service in all private client work. We are a two partner firm and acquired our licence as an Alternative Business Structure in May 2013. The Partners are Sian Morris and Chris Morris. We gained the Conveyancing Quality Standard in 2016. We have three solicitors in addition to the partners, as well as five support staff.

Our Brecon Office is open 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday. Subject to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, we are happy to visit you at home  or in hospital (distance permitting) or to arrange appointments out of office hours and on Saturdays, however the safety of you and our staff will be paramount. We trust you will understand if we are unable to attend.

Our residential conveyancing costs are set out in the Residential Property page, and our Probate costs are set out in

the Probate, Wills & Trusts page. Our hourly charging rate is currently £200.00 per hour, exclusive of VAT.


Our Equality and Diversity data is available for inspection at Reception here in the office.
