Halifax intermediaries solicitor panel

When you buy a property with a Halifax mortgage, you are advised to use a solicitor approved by the lender. This will enable them to represent both you and Halifax in your property purchase. At Lockings Solicitors, we are on the Halifax solicitor panel and can act for you whether you are obtaining a mortgage direct from Halifax or by way of an intermediary.

This means we can deal directly with Halifax at the same time as we carry out the conveyancing for you. By using an approved Halifax solicitor, you can avoid potential extra expense and delays.

Our conveyancing team members are highly experienced and routinely deal with complex and time-sensitive property purchases. We aim to move matters forward proactively, reducing the risk of a transaction falling through, and we reach completion up to three weeks faster than the national average.

We are rated as Excellent by our clients and have over 900 Google reviews. In addition, we hold the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme accreditation.

We offer a FREE initial chat so that you can ask us any questions you may have about purchasing a property with a Halifax mortgage.

Why choose Lockings Solicitors for your conveyancing?

We move you quickly

We know that our clients often want to move quickly, and that in some cases, for example, when buying a newbuild property, tight deadlines may be imposed. We always work to ensure a transaction is moving forward effectively.

By taking steps to avoid hold-ups wherever possible, we are regularly able to move clients more quickly than the national average.

We have a high level of legal expertise

We have many years of experience in dealing with conveyancing, and often deal with complicated legal issues. This means that, should your purchase encounter difficulties, we will know how to resolve them. By taking prompt action, we can minimise delays and, in turn, reduce the risk of your purchase falling through.

Using less experienced conveyancers can be problematic, and there is a risk that a chain may collapse if one or more of the other parties feel that little progress is being made.

We on the Halifax solicitor panel

We are approved by Halifax to represent them in property purchases. This means that if you are taking out a Halifax mortgage, including using a Halifax intermediary, we can represent them in the transaction.

We will carry out the due diligence work that they require, alongside the work we are doing for you, and report to them on issues such as the legal title, search results, and property information. When the time comes to complete your purchase, we will be able to order your mortgage advance directly from them.

If you are taking out a mortgage, simply pass our details to your intermediary or to your lender. They will then send your mortgage offer to us as soon as it is issued, and we can let you have the mortgage deed for signature.

We provide clear advice

We know that property law can be confusing, and we will ensure that you have clear explanations for everything. We will go through the documentation in detail and provide advice and guidance in clear, jargon-free English.

We are easy to contact and always respond promptly

Our solicitors will work with you in the way that best suits your needs. This could be by phone, email, or in person at one of our offices. We aim to be available as needed. Should you ask us to call you, we will do so promptly.

We offer an easy onboarding process and a secure online portal

Setting up a conveyancing transaction with us is simple. Just give us a call today, and we will talk you through the first steps. You can ring us as soon as you decide to move, and we will discuss how we can prepare in advance to enable your purchase to get off to a fast start.

We offer a secure online conveyancing portal that you can use, if you wish, to provide us with the initial information we will need from you, including documentation that will verify your identity.

You will be regularly updated on progress

We know that moving can be stressful, and we will never leave you wondering what stage we have reached. As well as keeping you updated as to the progress of your purchase, we will let you know in advance when we are likely to need something from you. For example, we will need your deposit in cleared funds prior to the exchange of contracts. We will notify you in advance so that you have plenty of time to provide us with this.

We are highly rated

Our clients rate us as Excellent, and we hold in excess of 900 reviews on Google. Of clients surveyed, 98% say that they would recommend us to friends and family.

We offer a free initial conversation, with no obligation

You may have questions about the conveyancing process or your particular transaction. We offer a free initial chat so that you can ask us anything.

When should I contact a conveyancer to start the purchase process?

We always invite clients to speak to us early on in the process. This means that we will be ready to start work as soon as you have an offer accepted and we receive the initial package of documents from the seller’s solicitor.

If you are tying in a sale, we can provide you with the property information forms and fixtures and fittings list to fill in. This will give you plenty of time to complete them and to find any extra paperwork to be included, such as planning consents or guarantees for items such as windows or the boiler.

How does Lockings move clients faster?

We pride ourselves on the speed and efficiency of our conveyancing service. From the start, we will stay in close contact with the other parties, such as your seller’s solicitor, the estate agent, and the solicitor for any related sale.

By following up regularly, we ensure that the information we need is provided to us promptly and nothing is forgotten, only to become urgent at the last minute.

Should complications arise, we tackle these immediately to avoid delays. Because of the depth of experience our solicitors have, we know exactly how to resolve legal issues, and we are therefore able to avoid hesitation.
