Press Release – Hedon Office

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Lockings are solicitors with existing offices in Hull and Beverley. Committed to the provision of high quality, customer friendly legal services to all of their clients, they are delighted to announce that its Hedon office, temporarily closed during 2009, opened on Monday, November 1.

Housed in a beautiful Georgian setting the St. Augustine’s Gate office represents Lockings’ determination, in these rapidly changing times, to provide the residents and companies of Holderness with the very best in legal representation and advice while remaining respectful to the traditions and expectations of the area.

Mindful of Hedon’s character and heritage, together with the fact that the office sits proudly in the heart of Hedon’s conservation area, Lockings partner, Richard Swaine, and Customer Development Manager, Lesley Craker met with representatives of the Town Council in order to fully understand the expectations of the town with regard to its presence on St. Augustine’s Gate. They were happy to accept the recommendations provided and to satisfy the councillors that the renewal of their commitment to the town, and to Holderness, goes much further than mere business opportunity and that it signifies the importance of both the choice of location and the health of the practice.

In May this year, Lockings were delighted to announce their membership of QualitySolicitors Lockings, a cooperation of like-minded independent legal firms working together to pool ideas and resources, so driving a national brand forward at a local level. Joining Lockings resulted in Lockings focusing their thinking on delivery of their customer promises of no hidden costs, same-day response, direct lawyer contact and “first consultation free.” The next logical step in this process was, therefore, the regeneration and revitalising of the Hedon office and the recommencement of the delivery of the highest possible commitment to the Holderness client base. Refurbishment is now complete and the staff at the Hedon branch cannot wait to welcome their clients, old and new.

Lockings fully understands that on those occasions when you may need a lawyer you are likely to feel anxious, stressed or upset. Experienced lawyers will put you at ease and give you the explanations and advice you need, in plain English, so that you have a full understanding of everything concerning your legal matter.

What’s more, Lockings will provide you with regular updates on what is happening so that you will always know what is going on.

Partner Richard Swaine said: “At Lockings, all our staff are aware of the vital importance of each and every client and are fully trained to advise and allocate to a solicitor, specifically chosen for his or her skills in the discipline you require. We will ensure that your legal problem or query is accorded the importance and priority it deserves. We are confident that, in rebuilding our links with the people of Holderness, we will build on our excellent reputation for client focus through acting upon feedback gained from clients, prospective clients and staff with the aim of the continuous improvement of our service and our client focus.”

“With the reopening of our Hedon base, Lockings provides the people of Hedon and Holderness with not only a tried and trusted local legal firm but a nationally branded and accredited consortium of the brightest legal talent.”

Husband and I recently used the services of Lockings Solicitors to perform the conveyancing for the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new home. Our conveyancer was Lori, and she was wonderful from start to finish. She was incredibly pro-active and super responsive to any requests made and really helped us get the sale and purchase over the line. She is a credit to both her company and her profession. We don't think we would have completed if it hadn't been for her professional help and knowledge. Thank you Lori.

We had a very good experience with Lockings Solicitors from Beverley, East Yorkshire. The probate and subsequent documentation regarding the family inheritance was dealt with very smoothly and quickly. I would highly recommend anyone in the area to use their services. A special thank you to Lucy Barford and her colleagues.

We recently used Lockings Solicitors to help sell our house, and Lori was an absolute standout. She was extremely professional, helpful, and kept us fully informed throughout the entire process. House moves can be stressful, but Lori made everything run smoothly and efficiently. We cannot thank her enough and would highly recommend her and the team at Lockings!

Lockings have acted on our behalf for the sale of several properties over the years, most recently three at more or less the same time. Having used many solicitors in previous times on many properties I can sincerely state that Lockings are without doubt the best I’ve ever encountered. They act as a team, meaning you get responses and action immediately and kept up-to-date at all times. Their Charges are very reasonable in most cases the best. I’d say to anyone who is thinking about buying or selling a property to go with Lockings and they will not be disappointed but very happy at how stress free they make the whole process.

I required a solicitor to guide me through filling my ID1 form out and to read the legal parts to me. I made a call at 9:30am and spoke to Lisa who managed to get me in the same day at 14:00pm! I had a meeting with Richard who talked me through everything and was very thorough in doing so. The two girls on reception Lisa and Beth were lovely and very welcoming towards me. I will definitely be using them again and would suggest them to anyone.

Excellent experience with Lockings Solicitors in the Beverley Office. Very professional and highly recommended. Great communication from start to finish. The 'Portal' was a great way of completing the forms and we always received plenty of updates and important information via email. Also, Nicky and the CS team were always available to speak to us if we needed further clarity or just needed to hear a voice at the end of a telephone. Thank you Nicky for your calm and reassuring manor which was greatly appreciated during the stressful weeks leading up to completion. Reception staff on the front desk and on the telephone were always polite and friendly. Thank you.
