Our property solicitors’ services

We offer a range of conveyancing services, including property sales and purchases. If you would like a conveyancing quote, call us today and we will let you know how much our conveyancing fees are, as well as providing you with a breakdown of any other figures, such as Stamp Duty, search fees and the Land Registry’s registration fee.

Property solicitors for purchases

If you would like us to represent you in a property purchase, contact us now and we can start the onboarding process. We will need to verify your identity and open a file.

Once you have found a property to buy and your offer is accepted, pass our details to the estate agent, as well as to your mortgage lender.

When we receive the contract papers from the seller’s solicitors, we will carry out any searches that are needed and send any questions we may have to the seller’s solicitors.

We will go through all of the information with you and discuss the process for exchanging contracts and completing your purchase.

Property solicitors for sales

If you are selling a property, you can contact us as soon as you decide to market it. We will then be able to let you have the property information forms that you need to fill in. They are comprehensive, and you may need to find other paperwork to accompany them, such as guarantees and planning consents.

By dealing with this early on, we will be in a position to send the information to your buyer’s solicitor as soon as you accept an offer.

Why choose Lockings property solicitors?

We move you quicker – we always work proactively to ensure that matters keep moving forwards. We deal with correspondence promptly, and we will stay in close contact with the estate agent and the other side’s solicitors, checking what paperwork is outstanding and chasing as needed.

Genuine property law expertise – our property solicitors have the experience necessary to handle complex cases and to deal with any difficulties that may arise. We will find the right solution, avoiding delays wherever possible, and provide you with the expert guidance you need.

Independent accreditation – we are accredited by the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. This acknowledges that we meet the society’s high standards in issues including the provision of expert legal advice, client care and management of risk.

Rated as excellent – we are rated as excellent and hold over 800 reviews on Google from satisfied clients.

Approved by all main high street mortgage lenders – when you buy a property with a mortgage, it is important to choose property solicitors approved by your lender. If you do not, then the lender will need to employ their own legal team, and you will be required to pay for this. Alternatively, you may have to switch to different conveyancing solicitors partway through the transaction, which could cause delays.

If you choose Lockings Solicitors, we can represent you and your lender. Because we are approved by all main mortgage lenders, we are able to report to them on the property in question and order mortgage funds to be sent directly to us for completion.

We are flexible and will deal with your transaction in the way that best suits you. This could be by email, phone, videolink, or in person at one of our offices.

Regular updates – we know that you will want to be kept informed as to the progress of your sale and/or purchase, and we will ensure that we provide frequent updates. We will let you know straightaway if we need any information from you, and we will make sure that you know what stage has been reached and what is likely to happen next.

Great value for money – our services are excellent value for money. Our property solicitors are genuine experts in the field, as well as providing an outstanding service. If you would like a conveyancing quote, call us now and we will go through the figures with you.
