HSBC solicitor panel

When you buy a property with a mortgage, you should choose a conveyancing firm approved by your lender. At Lockings Solicitors, we are on the HSBC solicitor panel. This means we are authorised to represent them in your purchase and we will be able to provide them with the information they will need to enable them to send us your mortgage advance.

Using a conveyancer who is not on your lender’s panel of authorised solicitors can cause delays and will result in extra expense, so it is important to check at the outset that your solicitor is approved by your mortgage company.

At Lockings Solicitors, we are on the panels of all major high street lenders. We are also accredited by the Law Society and hold their Conveyancing Quality Scheme award.

Clients choose us because of the high standards of service we provide, our attention to detail, our expertise, and the fact that we can complete conveyancing transactions up to three weeks faster than the national average.

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

Choosing Lockings Solicitors for your property purchase

There are a range of benefits in choosing us for your conveyancing, including:

We are highly experienced

Our conveyancing solicitors have been dealing with all types of property transactions for many years and have encountered all manner of difficulties. This means that should complications arise during your purchase, we will know exactly how to resolve them. We will take immediate steps to do this, reducing the risk of your seller pulling out because of delays.

Clear advice and guidance

Property law is not always straightforward, and we will ensure that you have clear explanations wherever necessary. We are always happy to talk through issues, and we will make sure that you have the information you need to make decisions.

A move that is up to three weeks faster than the national average

We start working with our clients at an early stage to ensure that as much preliminary work as possible is done upfront. This means that we are able to progress matters promptly when we receive the contract papers from the seller’s solicitor.

Our expertise means we are able to identify any potential issues straightaway and take prompt action to handle them.

During the conveyancing transaction, we will check in regularly with the other parties, ensuring that nothing slips through the cracks. If we are expecting information, we will follow up routinely until it is received. If you are tying in a sale, we will stay in close contact with your buyer’s solicitors, ensuring they are also progressing matters efficiently.

Working in this way, we are often able to substantially reduce the time taken to reach readiness for the exchange of contracts.

Approved by the HSBC solicitor panel

If you are taking out an HSBC mortgage, you should use a conveyancer on the HSBC solicitor panel. At Lockings Solicitors, we are approved by HSBC and authorised to report to them on the legal title of your property and other issues. We can then order your mortgage advance from them once it is time to complete your purchase.

Law Society accreditation

We hold the Conveyancing Quality Scheme award. This confirms that we meet the Law Society’s high standards in areas including legal advice, client care, and risk management.

How do I start a house purchase?

If you are hoping to buy a house, you can call us now, and we will go through the first steps with you. Even if you don’t yet have a property to buy, we can talk through the onboarding process and let you know what paperwork we will need from you. This will include identity documentation and proof of the source of any funds you will be using in the purchase.

It is beneficial to talk to a solicitor early on if you want a faster transaction, particularly if you are tying in a sale. There are property information and fixtures and fittings forms to fill in, and you can complete these at your leisure and find accompanying papers, such as guarantees and planning consents.

We will then be able to start work straightaway once your chain is complete. You can also give our details to both your mortgage lender and to the estate agents at the start of the transaction.
