Why choose Lockings Solicitors for your conveyancing?

We move you quickly – we aim to reach readiness for exchange of contracts without delay. We do this by staying in close contact with the other relevant parties, such as your buyer’s solicitors, your seller’s solicitors, and the estate agents. This allows us to check that related transactions are moving forward and to obtain any outstanding information promptly.

We have a high level of expertise – should any legal issues arise, our team members know how to resolve them. With many years in the property industry, we have encountered all types of issues and we will tackle problems without delay, finding the solutions that allow your sale or purchase to go ahead.

We are known for our excellent service – we always take the time to talk through any concerns and provide you with regular updates.

We are highly rated – we hold in excess of 800 Google reviews, are rated as Excellent, and are frequently recommended by our clients to their friends and families.

We provide clear, jargon-free advice – we know that legal terminology can be confusing, and we will ensure that legal issues are explained to you in straightforward language.

Our services represent great value for money – the service provided by our experienced conveyancing solicitors is excellent value. We can provide you with a conveyancing quote if you call us, and we will include any other expenses, such as Stamp Duty, so that you have a clear idea of the total costs involved.

We are accredited by the Law Society – we hold their Conveyancing Quality Scheme award in recognition of the high standards we meet in the provision of quality legal advice, risk management, and client service.

We are approved by all main high street lenders – if you are taking out a mortgage, you should choose a solicitor who is approved by them and who is on their conveyancing panel. At Lockings Solicitors, we are on the panels of all main mortgage lenders, meaning we are authorised to act for them and for you in your purchase. If your solicitor is not approved by your lender, you might have to switch solicitors partway through, which would cause delays, or alternatively pay for your lender to instruct their own legal team.

We offer a free initial consultation – we know that you probably have questions about how to get started and what to expect. Take advantage of our free, no-obligation chat to speak to one of our team members.

How do I start a conveyancing transaction?

If you are selling a property, and you would like us to represent you, call us as soon as you decide to market your property and we can let you have the initial paperwork.

There are forms to fill in, including a property information form and a fixtures and fittings list. You may have to find paperwork to accompany these, such as guarantees or planning consents. By dealing with these at an early stage, we will be ready to send out the contract package as soon as you accept an offer.

If you are buying a property, you can also contact us as soon as you wish. We can make sure we have everything we need so that we can deal with the contract papers once you find a property to buy and the seller’s solicitor contacts us.

How long does conveyancing take?

The length of time for conveyancing can vary widely. Generally speaking, it can take a little longer if there are several parties in the chain. This is because the transaction will move at the pace of the slowest link in the chain.

Issues that can delay conveyancing include:

• Problems revealed by the survey
• Issues with the legal title
• Matters that come to light in the search results
• Hold-ups in obtaining paperwork, including the mortgage offer, search results and replies to enquiries made of the seller’s solicitor

Choosing a solicitor near me

Using a local solicitor can have advantages. At Lockings Solicitors, we are familiar with the area and we have a good understanding of what searches are needed and potential issues to be aware of.

We also have excellent working relationships with other property professionals in the York and East Yorkshire locale, including estate agents, surveyors, and other conveyancing solicitors.
