Pepper Money solicitor panel

When you buy a property with a mortgage, you are strongly advised to choose a conveyancing solicitor approved by your lender. If you do not, there is a risk of delays and extra expense. At Lockings Solicitors, we are on the Pepper Money solicitor panel. This means that we are approved by Pepper Money to represent them in your property purchase for a seamless transaction.

Our team members are highly experienced, and we hold the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme accreditation. This recognises the high standard of legal advice and client care that we provide.

We offer a FREE initial chat so that you can ask us any questions you may have about purchasing a property with a Pepper Money 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 in freehold sales and purchases. We also deal with leasehold sales and purchases and newbuild purchases for local properties.

Choosing Lockings Solicitors for your property purchase

There are numerous advantages in using our conveyancing team for your property purchase, including:

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

We know that you probably want to move house quickly, and we always work to minimise the time taken to reach the exchange of contracts. We routinely manage to beat the national average length of purchase transactions by up to three weeks.

Our team members work proactively to make this happen by:

Following up regularly with the other parties involved – when we are waiting for information, we chase it routinely to ensure nothing is forgotten. This often prevents a last-minute panic when the other side realises they have not taken the necessary steps to obtain the paperwork we require.

Signing clients up promptly and dealing with initial compliance work early on – we suggest that you speak to us as soon as you decide to buy a property, so that we can onboard you into our system. We will need to verify your identity and source of funds, and by starting work straight away, we will be ready to go ahead as soon as your seller’s solicitor sends us the contract package.

Getting a head start can be particularly advantageous if you are tying in a sale. We can let you have the property information forms and fixtures and fittings list to fill in now. You may need to find extra documents to go with these, such as guarantees or planning consents. By getting this ready at an early stage, we may be able to reduce the number of weeks taken to reach readiness for exchange.

The legal expertise to manage complications – all of our conveyancing solicitors are highly experienced. This means that if difficulties arise, we will have encountered similar problems before and will know exactly how to resolve them. We will tackle them straightaway, avoiding lingering problems that could jeopardise your purchase.

We are approved by the Pepper Money solicitor panel

Because we are approved by Pepper Money, we will be able to carry out the due diligence work they require and report to them on the legal title to the property. Once we certify that everything is acceptable, they will be able to send us your mortgage advance in time for completion.

We are also approved by all major high street lenders. If you were to use a conveyancer who was not on your lender’s panel of approved solicitors, your lender might require you to move to a different law firm partway through, or they could choose to use their own legal team. Both of these options are likely to cause delays and will be at an additional cost to you.

We are easy to contact and provide regular updates

If you need us to call you, we will always do so promptly. We will provide you with updates throughout the purchase process, so that you know how far along the transaction is. We will give you notice if we need anything from you, and keep you updated on the likely timescale.

Our advice is clear and in plain jargon-free language

We know that property law can be complex, and we will always take the time to explain matters clearly and talk through any concerns you may have. You will be given the information you need to make an informed decision, and we will give you expert guidance throughout.

We make working with us as easy and straightforward as possible

We have a simple onboarding process, and provide a secure online conveyancing platform that you can use to provide us with the information we will need from you at the outset. We are happy to deal with your purchase in the way that best suits you, including by email, phone, or in-person at one of our offices.

We are rated as Excellent and independently accredited

Our clients rate us as Excellent, and we have in excess of 900 reviews on Google. We hold the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme award. This is granted to law firms that meet the Law Society’s high standards in the provision of legal advice, the management of risk, and client care.

Call us for a free initial chat

We offer a free, no-obligation chat so that you can ask us any initial questions you may have.

How long does conveyancing take for a house purchase?

The length of time taken to reach the exchange of contracts can vary depending on several factors. Generally speaking, a longer chain can take more time, as we will need to wait for everyone in the chain to be ready before we can go ahead.

We always aim to progress matters proactively, and we will keep in touch with your seller’s and buyer’s solicitors and the estate agents to try to ensure other parties are also driving a transaction forward.

We will guide you through the process, prompting you as necessary, to ensure that, for our part, we are ready to exchange contracts as soon as possible.
