I was very happy with the service provided. It was a fairly unusual sale and they kept me informed throughout. Couldn't recommend them any more!

Ms Adele Kirk at Locking Solicitors in Beverley was brilliant from start to finish. She was professional, approachable, and kept me informed at every stage, making everything feel much more straightforward and less stressful. Adele took the time to explain things clearly, answered my questions promptly, and made me feel well supported throughout. I’m extremely grateful for her help and would happily recommend Adele and the team.

Non pressurised professional service at all times. Having to put a parent into care is something no one should have to deal with so having a reliant service behind me was so reassuring 👏🏻

I used Lockings for my hose sale and purchase. I highly recommend these solicitors, from the ease of obtaining the initial quote, through the selling and buying process of two properties, the staff kept me informed and updated . Once I had sold my property, I then went out and offered on a new property, which required a quick sale , Lockings stepped up and within 5 weeks the property was purchased. Excellent service at every stage and went above and beyond when I needed help ! Thank you.

Adele and Sam were beyond helpful when helping me navigate a first house purchase whilst going through a divorce. Nothing was too much trouble and every question asked, of which there were many, never felt like a burden. Quick, efficient communication and a smooth purchase made a very stressful situation somewhat more manageable. Thank you Lockings!

Keeping You in the Legal Loop

Whilst we’re proud of our heritage as a long-established and well-known local solicitors, times change and we’ve evolved to take a more contemporary, client-first approach to law.

But wait. This shift doesn’t mean we will describe ourselves as “agile” and never really explain what it means.

Instead, we’re unafraid of innovation, passionate about creating opportunities for our team, eager to take advantage of technology, focused on improving the efficiency of our work, willing to listen to your story, intent on achieving the best possible outcome, devoted to being responsive and committed to keeping it simple.

We decided to transform the way we practiced law when we realized one simple thing: we’re not just qualified, professional lawyers; we’re people. People helping other people along their journey through life through good times and bad, through exciting times and sad.

Now, we’d like to think of our approach to law as much more human. We’re aware of when lawyer-speak slips out or when our client might feel out of the loop or confused about the next steps. We don’t mind explaining things more than once and tailoring our services to suit your situation.

Why Choose Us

No Hidden Costs

We promise to inform you before we begin and to keep you informed throughout so you're always sure what everything will cost.

Clear Communication

Engage in straightforward, jargon-free conversations via your preferred communication method(s)

Flexible Availability

Free Initial Chat

Book a free, no-obligation chat with one of our friendly and experienced team at a time convenient for you to get clarity on your legal needs and to see if we’re a good fit for you and your family.

Plain-Speaking, Smart-Thinking Solicitors

We speak to our clients using language they understand rather than citing impressive terminology from a textbook. It’s not that we don’t know our stuff. We, too, have studied legal textbooks cover to cover, with many members of our team having practised law over multiple decades.

Yet, after evaluating and listening to what legal customers need, we realised big words and official titles often make our clients feel confused and unduly worried.

So, while what we say may appear straightforward, our performance is anything but ordinary. Serving customers all over Yorkshire and across the UK, our expert team of solicitors are as experienced as they are approachable, ensuring we have the best chance of understanding and achieving our client’s desired outcome.
