If you are buying a property with a Leeds Building Society mortgage, our experienced conveyancers can represent you. We are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel of approved solicitors, meaning we can act for them and for you in the transaction.

It is important to choose conveyancing solicitors from your lender’s panel, otherwise you could have to switch to new solicitors partway through your transaction. Alternatively, the lender could require you to pay extra fees if they instruct their own solicitors.

We have been helping individuals and families with property purchases for many years and have a high level of experience. Our team has the expertise to deal with unforeseen problems quickly and effectively, reducing the risk of a transaction falling through.

We deal with freehold property purchases and sales for clients across the country as well as leasehold and newbuild property transactions for local clients.

We offer a FREE initial chat so that you can ask us any questions you may have about buying a property with a Leeds Building Society mortgage. Call us on 01482 300 200, email us at welcome@lockings.co.uk or fill in our contact form and we will call you back promptly. We have offices in Beverley, Hull and York and represent clients across the country.

How we work to complete promptly and without delays

We know you probably want to move promptly and we always aim to move a transaction forward effectively from the start. We will keep in close contact with all other relevant parties, such as the solicitors for your seller and, if you are tying in a sale, those for your buyer, and the estate agents.

This can help avoid delays, for example, if someone is waiting for a document or they need to chase a third party for a response.

Our team members are exceptionally experienced and able to handle complications efficiently, working to find a solution that will allow you to complete as planned.

Our conveyancing accreditations and lender approval

We hold the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme accreditation confirming that we meet their high standards. This recognises the fact that we provide good quality legal advice, robust risk management and exceptional client care.

In addition, we have made sure that we are approved by all major mortgage lenders. This includes being on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, allowing us to represent them and you in a transaction.

Working with us

We know that you no doubt have a busy life and that moving house can be a hectic time, and so we always aim to provide flexible availability.

We offer a secure online conveyancing portal that you can use at the start of the transaction to safely provide us with the information and copy documents that we will need.

You can work with us in the way that is best for you, whether this is by email, phone call, videolink or in-person at one of our offices.

Our team members are very responsive and if they are not available to speak to you immediately, they will call you back without delay.

Ask us for a conveyancing quote

Our fees are outstanding value for money and we always go the extra mile to provide the best possible service. If you would like a conveyancing quote, call us today and we will be happy to go through the figures with you, including any additional costs such as search fees and Stamp Duty.

Our pledge to you when we represent you in a property purchase

If you ask us to represent you in your property purchase, we will provide you with the following guarantees:

• Clear communication, giving you the information, updates and explanations you need
• Clear price guarantee, providing you with a comprehensive conveyancing quote at the start of your transaction
• Flexible availability, ensuring you can communicate easily with us
• A free initial chat, so that you can ask us any questions and talk through any issues of concern

Getting started with a property purchase

If you would like us to represent you in a property purchase with a Leeds Building Society mortgage, contact us today and we will let you have the initial paperwork to be completed. This can ensure that we get off to a quick start once you have an offer accepted on the property you want to buy.

You should pass our details to the estate agent and they will forward them to the seller’s solicitor. The seller’s solicitor can then send the contract papers straight out to us, enabling us to start work. We will go back to them with initial enquiries and apply for searches, so that everyone can get moving on the transaction.

You should also give our details to Leeds Building Society or your financial adviser or mortgage broker. Your mortgage offer will then be sent to us as soon as it is available.

Tying in a sale

If you are selling a property at the same time and you would like us to act on your behalf, let us know early on so that we can send you the forms you will need to fill in. These will include a property information form and fixtures and fittings list.

By starting on these now, we will be ready to send out the contract package as soon as you have a buyer in place.

We will also be able to go ahead and verify your identity so that we’re ready to start work immediately.

Again, you can pass our details to your estate agent so that they can contact us with your buyer’s details as soon as you accept an offer.
