Why choose Lockings Solicitors for your conveyancing?

We are on the Kensington Mortgages conveyancing panel

When you take out a mortgage, it is important to choose a solicitor approved by your lender. If you do not, you could end up having to switch conveyancers partway through the transaction, which is likely to cause difficulties and delays.

We are on the Kensington Mortgages conveyancing panel of approved solicitors. If you would like us to represent you, give our name to your broker and they will be able to pass our details on to Kensington. Then, when your official mortgage offer is ready, Kensington will send it to us.

We can move you faster

Because we have a high level of legal knowledge and many years of conveyancing experience, we know how to deal with complications, should they arise. This level of expertise can often prevent delays and stop a transaction from falling through if difficulties are experienced.

We always keep in close touch with the other parties in a transaction, ensuring that they are also moving matters forward and checking whether they need anything from us to progress.

This attention to detail means that we will move you as quickly as possible, avoiding hold-ups.

Purchasing a property with a Kensington mortgage

If you would like us to represent you in your Kensington mortgage property purchase, give us a call and we will start the ball rolling. We will let you have the forms we need you to complete, carry out verification of your identity as required by law, and open a file.

You can also give our details to the estate agent and to your mortgage broker. The estate agent will pass our information on to the seller’s solicitors once you have had an offer accepted. They will then be able to send us the contract papers as soon as these are available. This will include a draft contract, a copy of the legal title and official plan of the property, any legal documents referred to in the title, a property information form and a fixtures and fittings list. We can then apply for any searches that are needed.

Kensington Mortgages will process your mortgage application and once the offer is available, they will send it to us for approval and signature by you.

Tying in a related sale

If you are also selling a property, we will co-ordinate this with your purchase. If you contact us now, we can let you have the initial forms to be completed. Taking action early on can reduce the time it takes to reach readiness for exchange of contracts.

You will be able to complete the property information and fixtures and fittings forms so that as soon as you accept an offer on your property and we have details of your buyer’s solicitors, we can send out the initial contract package.
