Peter Robinson

What Peter Robinson does

Peter Robinson & Co (Property Lawyers) Ltd is a specialist property law firm founded by Peter Robinson in January 1993 and headquartered at 27 Queen Street, Oldham, England. The firm provides residential and commercial conveyancing services (sales, purchases, remortgages, transfer of equity, new builds, auction purchases, buy-to-let, shared ownership, right-to-buy, and equity release for homeowners over 55) along with wills and probate services (will writing, executorship, lasting powers of attorney, and estate administration). It is regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers under registration number 11304 and operates as a private limited company with no external institutional investment.

The business runs on a fixed-fee, transaction-based pricing model with publicly disclosed fee schedules per service type (e.g., sale at £1,206, purchase at £1,648, re-mortgage at £869.91, new build at £2,014, auction at £1,200 in legal fees plus VAT and disbursements). Its underlying technology stack is a standard legal services website and contact infrastructure (phone, email, in-person at Oldham) with no disclosed proprietary platform, AI, or API. Core go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via phone inquiries and the website, supplemented by referrals from estate agents, mortgage brokers, and IFAs. Customer acquisition leverages its panel access with every mainstream bank and building society in England and Wales.

The firm is led by Managing Director Tammy Barnes (Licensed Conveyancer since 2007, 25+ years experience, Terence Willey Prize 2011), Director Emma Birchall (Licensed Conveyancer since 2011, 15+ years experience), and Licensed Conveyancer Jane Ridley-Morley (10+ years at the firm), all of whom qualified internally. Headcount is 1-10 employees organized around a Conveyancing Manager with licensed conveyancers and assistants. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company has grown entirely organically since founding with no funding rounds, M&A activity, or parent company.

Adjacent ecosystem participant — not a direct competitor but a channel and infrastructure partner that influences panel economics for firms like Peter Robinson.
