Kensington solicitor panel

When you buy a property with a mortgage, you are strongly advised to choose a solicitor approved by your lender. At Lockings Solicitors, we are on the Kensington solicitor panel, meaning we are authorised to represent them and you in your house purchase.

Should your chosen conveyancer not be approved by your lender, you might have to switch to a different law firm or pay for your lender to instruct their own legal team. As well as involving extra expense, this can cause delays, and could even risk your purchase falling through.

We have many years of conveyancing experience, meaning we can deal with complications efficiently. We are also known for the excellent service we provide, moving clients up to three weeks earlier than the national average.

The Law Society have awarded us their Conveyancing Quality Scheme mark, acknowledging that we meet their high standards in areas including the provision of legal advice, client care, and risk management.

How do Lockings move our clients faster than the national average?

We often start working with clients at an early stage. This is particularly advantageous if you are tying in a sale, as there are property information and fixtures and fittings forms to complete. We can let you have these now, and you will be able to fill them in and find any additional paperwork such as guarantees and planning permission, so that we are ready to send out the contract papers as soon as you have a buyer and the chain is complete.

We will also deal with administrative matters at the outset, including verifying your identity and completing source of funds documentation.

During the purchase transaction, we follow up regularly when we have requested information. Similarly, if you have a related sale, we will stay in close contact with your buyer’s solicitor and respond promptly to any enquiries we receive.

By keeping in touch with other parties throughout, including estate agents and solicitors, we can spot potential delays straightaway and take action to eliminate them.

We would suggest that you obtain a mortgage offer in principle and ensure that your mortgage application is submitted promptly once you have an offer accepted and the chain is complete. If you will be obtaining a survey, it is recommended that you speak to a surveyor as soon as you know that everything is going ahead.

How do I get started with a house purchase?

If you will be buying a house, you can call us now, and we will talk you through the first steps. If you want to go ahead, we will help you with the onboarding process, so that once everyone is ready to start work, there is no delay.
