  Highly recommend Lockings. Adele and team  acted as my solicitor for both the sale of my house and my onward purchase. They navigated complicated situations professionally and kept me updated constantly. I felt very confident in their work and will use again.

  Fabulous conveyancing team - thank you. The team that looked after the sale of my property were just brilliant. They put up with my almost daily chasing, and we managed to complete within 7 weeks! I absolutely recommend Lockings, Hull. Professional, supportive, knowledgeable and you know what you're going to pay upfront, so no surprises. Thank you!

  Husband and I recently used the services of Lockings Solicitors to perform the conveyancing for the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new home. Our conveyancer was Lori, and she was wonderful from start to finish. She was incredibly pro-active and super responsive to any requests made and really helped us get the sale and purchase over the line. She is a credit to both her company and her profession. We don't think we would have completed if it hadn't been for her professional help and knowledge. Thank you Lori.

  We had a very good experience with Lockings Solicitors from Beverley, East Yorkshire. The probate and subsequent documentation regarding the family inheritance was dealt with very smoothly and quickly.  I would highly recommend anyone in the area to use their services. A special thank you to Lucy Barford and her colleagues.

  Lori and the rest of the team have been incredible in our sale and purchase. They always made time to answer our questions, sent updates regularly and ensured everything was done thoroughly, timely and smoothly. They made this so much less stressful. Highly recommend

  We recently used Lockings Solicitors to help sell our house, and Lori was an absolute standout. She was extremely professional, helpful, and kept us fully informed throughout the entire process. House moves can be stressful, but Lori made everything run smoothly and efficiently. We cannot thank her enough and would highly recommend her and the team at Lockings!
