Why choose Lockings Solicitors for conveyancing?

The benefits of using our conveyancing experts for your house purchase include:

We move you up to three weeks faster than the national average

Our clients generally want to move as quickly as possible, and we always aim to reach the exchange of contracts promptly. We start working proactively from the start, following up on queries, chasing outstanding information, and checking in with other parties throughout the process. Our close monitoring of progress means that we routinely move clients more quickly than average.

If you are hoping to move without delay, give us a call, and we can talk to you about preparing the groundwork at the outset. By ensuring we have all of the initial information we will need, we will be ready to start work as soon as we receive the contract package from your seller’s solicitor.

Even if you have not yet had an offer accepted, speak to us now, and we can discuss the steps needed to set your transaction up for success. This can be particularly beneficial if you are tying in a sale, as there are lengthy property information and fixtures and fittings forms to complete. By dealing with these now, you will have the opportunity to locate any additional paperwork needed, such as guarantees or planning consents. This can avoid delays later on.

We have the expertise to reduce the risk of your purchase failing

If your transaction should encounter difficulties, you need a solicitor with the experience to resolve these straightaway. Our team members have been dealing with complex conveyancing issues for many years, and will know how to solve matters. By tackling complications immediately, we can reduce the risk of your purchase falling through because of a lack of progress.

We hold independent accreditation and are rated as Excellent by our clients

The Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme standard recognises the high levels of legal advice we provide, as well as our careful risk management and excellent client care. We are also rated as Excellent by our clients, who have given us over 900 reviews on Google.

We are on the Leeds solicitor panel

We are approved by the Leeds solicitor panel, meaning they have authorised us to represent them in conveyancing transactions. We will carry out the due diligence work they require, and report to them on the legal title to the property and other issues.

If you would like us to represent you in your purchase with a Leeds mortgage, you can give our details to Leeds, and they will send us your mortgage offer as soon as it is available. We will then be able to request your mortgage advance once completion is arranged.

We are known for our excellent service

We have a reputation for providing an outstanding client experience. We will make sure that we are available to speak to you as needed, calling you back promptly where necessary. We always take the time to talk through issues and ensure you have a clear understanding of any legal or technical matters.

We will work with you in the way that is easiest for you, whether this is in-person, by email, or over the phone.

Working with us is simple; just let us know that you would like to use our services, and we will explain how to get started. We have an easy-to-use and secure online conveyancing portal, and you can let us have the initial documentation we will need using this, if you wish.

We are great value for money

Our services are great value for money, and are provided by genuine property law experts. We will be happy to provide you with a full conveyancing quote if you would like to call us. We can go through all of the figures with you, including any additional sums such as Stamp Duty and search fees.

Clear and jargon-free advice

Property law is not always simple to understand, and we will make sure that you have the information you need in plain English. We can explain your options and help you make an informed decision about any issues that need your input.

We offer a free, no-obligation chat

If you have any questions at this stage, we offer a free chat so that you can ask us. We can explain the initial onboarding process, let you know what we will need from you at the outset, and provide you with a conveyancing quote.

How long does conveyancing take?

The time taken to complete a property purchase depends on many factors, and if you are in a chain, then we will need to wait until everyone is ready to go ahead.

Because we regularly check in with estate agents and your seller’s and buyer’s solicitors, we aim to ensure a transaction progresses effectively, avoiding hold-ups wherever possible.

Issues that can delay a purchase include:

• Waiting for search results
• Waiting for survey results
• Not instructing a solicitor early on
• A delay in the issuing of a mortgage offer
• Issues revealed on the survey that require quotes for work
• Missing legal documentation
• Legal issues with the title to the property

We work to reduce delays wherever possible, for example, by using search companies that we know will reliably produce accurate, insurance-backed results promptly.

If you are hoping to complete quickly, or to meet a deadline imposed by others in the chain, give us a call now, and we will be happy to discuss realistic timeframes with you.
