Conveyancing FAQs

When should I instruct a solicitor?

You can contact a solicitor as soon as you decide to sell your property or to buy somewhere. If you ask us to represent you, we will go ahead and check your identity, as required by law, and open a file in readiness. If you are selling, we can also let you have the initial forms for completion, including a property information form and fixtures and fittings list.

How do I instruct solicitors for conveyancing near me?

If you would like us to carry out your conveyancing transaction, just give us a ring and we will send you the initial paperwork (which most of our customers prefer to do on our secure portal but it’s your choice) and let you know the first steps that need to be taken. We can also discuss the likely costs with you and answer any questions you may have, for example, potential timescales and what information you need to provide.

How long does conveyancing in East Yorkshire take?

The length of time taken to complete a conveyancing transaction is on average between 8 and 12 weeks. Where several parties are linked in a chain of transactions, the time taken can be towards the longer end of this estimate as it will be necessary for everyone to be ready before contracts can be exchanged and a date for completion set.

Some of the issues that may take time include waiting for mortgage offers, dealing with problems that might arise on a survey, resolving legal difficulties with the title to a property or delays in receiving replies to enquiries.

At Lockings Solicitors, we respond promptly to all communications and do all we can to move transactions along smoothly. We also keep in close contact with our clients’ buyers’ and sellers’ solicitors so that we know if any delays are likely to arise that might need chasing on our part.

What are the advantages of using solicitors for conveyancing near me?

Our team has a great deal of local knowledge, both of the area and local developments, meaning we are often aware of potential difficulties from the outset. This means that we can deal with these early on and also ensure that you have an accurate costs estimate from the outset.

We have a good working relationship with other solicitors in the area as well as with local estate agents. We also know many of the local management agencies for flats and retirement apartments so we are able to contact them early in a transaction to secure the information needed for a sale.

Our local offices in Beverley, Hull and York welcome clients who would rather pop in with documents, such as identity documentation, or for assistance in filling in forms and other paperwork. Although many of our customers find it easier and more convenient to use our secure online portal, we are always particularly happy to help older clients who prefer to deal with us in person than remotely.

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.

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!

Lockings have acted on our behalf for the sale of several properties over the years, most recently three at more or less the same time. Having used many solicitors in previous times on many properties I can sincerely state that Lockings are without doubt the best I’ve ever encountered. They act as a team, meaning you get responses and action immediately and kept up-to-date at all times. Their Charges are very reasonable in most cases the best. I’d say to anyone who is thinking about buying or selling a property to go with Lockings and they will not be disappointed but very happy at how stress free they make the whole process.

I required a solicitor to guide me through filling my ID1 form out and to read the legal parts to me. I made a call at 9:30am and spoke to Lisa who managed to get me in the same day at 14:00pm! I had a meeting with Richard who talked me through everything and was very thorough in doing so. The two girls on reception Lisa and Beth were lovely and very welcoming towards me. I will definitely be using them again and would suggest them to anyone.

Excellent experience with Lockings Solicitors in the Beverley Office. Very professional and highly recommended. Great communication from start to finish. The 'Portal' was a great way of completing the forms and we always received plenty of updates and important information via email. Also, Nicky and the CS team were always available to speak to us if we needed further clarity or just needed to hear a voice at the end of a telephone. Thank you Nicky for your calm and reassuring manor which was greatly appreciated during the stressful weeks leading up to completion. Reception staff on the front desk and on the telephone were always polite and friendly. Thank you.
