Kensington Mortgages Solicitor Panel

When you buy a property with a Kensington Mortgages loan, you should aim to choose a solicitor approved by them to carry out the conveyancing for you. This is because only a Kensington Mortgages solicitor panel conveyancer can represent both you and your lender at the same time.

If your solicitor is not approved by your lender, you might have to pay for the lender to use their own legal team alongside your conveyancer or, alternatively, switch to a new law firm partway through your purchase. These options can both cause delays and extra expense.

At Lockings Solicitors, we are on the Kensington Mortgages solicitor panel. This means we are approved by them to deal with your purchase on their behalf. We can carry out the required due diligence work and provide them with the certificate they need confirming that the property meets their lending criteria.

Once we are ready to complete your purchase, we will be able to order your mortgage advance from them, to be received by us for the completion day.

Our property solicitors are highly experienced, and we always deal with matters promptly and efficiently, ensuring that your transaction is as fast as possible. We have the expertise to handle problems effectively, should any arise, and an excellent reputation for keeping our clients updated throughout the purchase process.

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

Getting started with a property purchase

If you are buying a property with a Kensington Mortgage, you can call us today to start the conveyancing process now. We will let you have the initial forms to complete, and you can use our secure, online conveyancing portal to provide us with the information we need. By dealing with the foundational work at this stage, we will be able to deal with the contract papers as soon as you find a buyer and their solicitor sends them to us.

If you have a related purchase, it can be particularly helpful to speak to us at an early stage. There will be several forms relating to the property for you to complete. You may need to find additional paperwork to accompany them, such as planning consents and guarantees. By dealing with this now, we will be able to send out the contract papers straightaway when you have a buyer in place.

Preparing in this way can reduce the time taken to reach the exchange of contracts.

How do Lockings Solicitors complete so quickly?

Right from the start, we work proactively to keep a transaction moving effectively. As well as giving you the opportunity to carry out the preliminary work early on, once your purchase is underway we will check in regularly with other parties, including the estate agent, the seller’s solicitor and, where applicable, your buyer’s solicitor. This allows us to identify any potential hold-ups and ensure they are tackled straightaway.

Clients hoping to move house quickly appreciate this level of attention to detail, which can shave up to three weeks off the national average moving time.
