No move no fee conveyancing

If you are selling a property, you may be concerned about the charges should the transaction fall through. At Lockings Solicitors, we offer no move no fee conveyancing for house sales, meaning that if your sale does not complete, we will not charge you.

In addition, we always aim to reduce the risks of a transaction falling through, including by working proactively to avoid delays, which are one of the major risks that can cause a house move to fail.

Our conveyancing solicitors have many years of experience, and we have a reputation for excellence. Of clients questioned, 98% said that they would recommend us to their friends and families, and we routinely act for people over the years when they buy and sell their homes.

We are accredited by the Law Society and hold their Conveyancing Quality Scheme award. This recognises that we meet their high standards, including in the provision of legal advice, the management of financial risk and good client care.

We offer a FREE initial chat so that you can ask us any questions you may have and discuss the timescale for your transaction. We are also happy to provide a no-obligation conveyancing quote.

If you are looking for no move no fee conveyancing, 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 in freehold sales and purchases. We also deal with leasehold sales and purchases and newbuild purchases for local properties.

How does Lockings reduce the risk of a transaction falling through?

We have the expertise to handle complications

It is often the case that legal or other issues arise during a conveyancing transaction that need to be resolved before contracts can be exchanged. At Lockings Solicitors, our team members are highly experienced, and we have dealt with all types of complications over the years. This means that if your sale or purchase runs into difficulties, we will know how to deal with them.

We always tackle issues immediately, reducing the risk of delays, which are one of the main causes of conveyancing chains collapsing.

We work to avoid delays

If you would like us to represent you, you can call us now, and we can deal with the onboarding process straightaway. This means we will be ready to start work as soon as your chain is in place. Setting everything up early on can ensure a quicker move and lessen the risk of hold-ups.

We have a secure, online conveyancing portal, and you can use this to send us your identity documentation at the outset. We can also let you have the property information and fixtures and fittings forms upfront so that we have them ready to send to your buyer’s solicitor as soon as the chain is in place.

We stay in touch with other parties in the chain

Throughout the conveyancing process, we will stay in touch with your buyer’s and seller’s solicitors, ensuring that they are also focused on progressing matters. When information is awaited, we will follow up regularly.

If we receive enquiries from your buyer’s solicitor, we will ensure that these are dealt with straightaway, and, where necessary, work with you to provide replies.

We ensure you are kept updated and that you know what we will need from you

We will keep you updated on the progress of your sale and purchase. If anything is required from you, we will give you as much notice as possible. For example, if you are buying a property and we need money from you for the deposit, we will let you know early on so that you can let us have cleared funds in time for the exchange of contracts.

We are approved by all main mortgage lenders

At Lockings Solicitors, we are authorised to represent all major high street lenders. This means that if you are buying a property with a mortgage, we can act for you and your lender at the same time. This reduces the time taken to reach the exchange of contracts.

If your solicitor is not approved by your lender, you might have to move to a different conveyancer or pay for your lender to use their own solicitors. Both of these options generally cause substantial delays, which can increase the risk of a transaction falling through.

Why choose Lockings Solicitors for your conveyancing?

We are highly experienced, which ensures you have the expertise necessary, should your transaction be more complex than anticipated.

We are rated as Excellent by our clients, and we hold more than 900 reviews on Google.

Our clients routinely recommend us, with 98% of those questioned saying that they would refer us to their friends and families.

We provide clear advice, ensuring that you have the guidance you need to make an informed decision.

We are easy to contact, and we are always happy to talk through any issues with you and explain any legal matters. If you ask us to call you, we will always do so without delay.

We offer flexible availability, ensuring we can work with you in the way that suits you best, including by email or in person at one of our offices.

We provide regular updates, so that you know exactly how far along your transaction is and what needs to happen next.

We complete up to three weeks faster than the national average. We know that you probably want to move as quickly as possible, and we always work proactively to avoid delays.

We are independently accredited, holding the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme award.

Our services are great value for money, and are provided by expert conveyancing solicitors.

We offer a free, initial chat, and a no-obligation conveyancing quote. If you call us now, we can go through all of the figures with you, including any additional costs such as Stamp Duty and search fees.

Does Lockings offer no move no fee conveyancing?

We offer no move no fee conveyancing for sale transactions. There are certain disbursements relating to sales and, if these have been incurred, there will be a charge. This is generally a modest fee from the Land Registry for providing an official copy of the Land Register and a plan of the property.

With regard to purchases, because of the substantial amount of due diligence work required, we do have to make a charge if a transaction falls through; however, we always aim to keep this to a minimum. Again, if other expenses have been incurred, such as search fees, these will also need to be covered by you.

Because of the way we work, tackling complications early on and eliminating delays wherever possible, we are often able to avoid a transaction falling through. If you have any questions about the conveyancing process, please feel free to call us, and we will be pleased to have a chat with you.

Ms Adele Kirk at Locking Solicitors in Beverley was brilliant from start to finish. She was professional, approachable, and kept me informed at every stage, making everything feel much more straightforward and less stressful. Adele took the time to explain things clearly, answered my questions promptly, and made me feel well supported throughout. I’m extremely grateful for her help and would happily recommend Adele and the team.

Non pressurised professional service at all times. Having to put a parent into care is something no one should have to deal with so having a reliant service behind me was so reassuring 👏🏻

I used Lockings for my hose sale and purchase. I highly recommend these solicitors, from the ease of obtaining the initial quote, through the selling and buying process of two properties, the staff kept me informed and updated . Once I had sold my property, I then went out and offered on a new property, which required a quick sale , Lockings stepped up and within 5 weeks the property was purchased. Excellent service at every stage and went above and beyond when I needed help ! Thank you.

Adele and Sam were beyond helpful when helping me navigate a first house purchase whilst going through a divorce. Nothing was too much trouble and every question asked, of which there were many, never felt like a burden. Quick, efficient communication and a smooth purchase made a very stressful situation somewhat more manageable. Thank you Lockings!
