If you are using Aldermore Bank for your mortgage when buying or remortgaging, you need a solicitor on the Aldermore Bank conveyancing panel. If your solicitor is not approved by your lender, you may need to change them at a later date, which could cause delays and complications. Alternatively, if the bank has to use its own lawyers, the transaction could take longer, and you would also have to pay their separate legal fees.

At Lockings Solicitors, we have been approved by all major high street lenders and are on the Aldermore Bank conveyancing panel. This means that we can act for you in your purchase or remortgage as well as for the bank.

We are highly experienced property solicitors and we have been handling all types of conveyancing transactions for many years. We are accredited by the Law Society under their Conveyancing Quality Scheme. This confirms that we meet their high standards relating to the provision of legal advice, risk management and client care.

We offer a FREE initial chat so that you can ask us any questions you may have about buying or remortgaging a house. Call us on 01482 300 200, email us at welcome@lockings.co.uk or fill in our Free Online Enquiry and we will call you back promptly. We have offices in Beverley, Hull and York and represent clients across the East Yorkshire and York area and beyond.
