Leeds Building Society solicitor panel

When you buy a property, it is important to use a conveyancer who is approved by your lender. At Lockings Solicitors, we are on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel, meaning we are able to represent you and your mortgage lender in your purchase.

This is crucial, because you could face delays and extra expense if your lawyer is not approved by your lender. There is a risk that you would have to change law firms, or that the lender would need to instruct their own legal representatives.

Our conveyancing solicitors are approved by all main mortgage lenders, and are highly experienced. We are accredited by the Law Society under their Conveyancing Quality Scheme, which recognises our high standards in the provision of legal advice, client care, and risk management.

If you need a conveyancer on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel, call us today. We are panel solicitors for all main lenders, and we offer a FREE initial chat so that you can ask us any questions you may have about buying or selling a property.

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 country in freehold sales and purchases. We also deal with leasehold sales and purchases and newbuild purchases for local properties.

Why use Lockings Solicitors for a house purchase?

We take steps to move you up to three weeks faster than the national average

Our clients usually want to move house quickly, and our solicitors always work proactively to reach the exchange of contracts as soon as possible. You can contact us early on so that we can do the preliminary work before you have a property to buy, meaning we will be ready to go as soon as you have an offer accepted.

We follow up with other parties regularly throughout the transaction to ensure that nothing is forgotten by them, and if you are tying in a related sale, we will ensure that the solicitors have all of the information they need promptly.

By staying in close touch with everyone involved, we are able to avoid the delays that can sometimes occur.

We are highly experienced

We have been dealing with property sales and purchases for decades, and have the expertise to resolve problems, should any arise.

When should I instruct a conveyancing solicitor?

If you are hoping to move quickly, we suggest that you speak to us now. We can deal with the preliminary work such as verifying your identity and letting you have the initial forms to complete, so that we are ready to go as soon as we receive the contract package from the seller’s solicitor.

Once you have an offer accepted, you should give our details to the estate agent and also to your mortgage lender. The estate agent will pass our details to the seller’s solicitor who will contact us directly to start the transaction.

Your mortgage lender will send us your mortgage offer as soon as it is available.

If you are tying in a sale, it is particularly important to get a head start on matters if you want to move promptly. There are lengthy forms that you will need to complete for your buyer, including a property information form and a fixtures and fittings list.

By dealing with these upfront, you will have plenty of time to find any additional information, such as guarantees or building regulations certificates, so that everything is available for your buyer’s solicitor once they are ready to go ahead.

If you are thinking of buying a property, call us now, and we will start the onboarding process.
