Solicitor Not On Lenders Panel

When buying a property with a mortgage, you need to choose a conveyancer who is approved by your bank. If you are concerned that you have a solicitor not on lenders panels, we can help. At Lockings Solicitors, we are approved by all major high street lenders, meaning we can represent them as well as you in your purchase.

Should you end up with a solicitor not on your lender’s panel, you would either have to move to a different conveyancer or your lender would need to instruct their own legal team, which you would be required to pay for.

At Lockings Solicitors, we are highly rated by our clients and independently accredited by the Law Society. With many years of experience in the property market, we have the expertise to deal with all types of purchases, including complex, time-sensitive, and high-value transactions.

If you are concerned that you have a solicitor not on lenders panel lists, call us today. We are on the approved list of all major mortgage providers, and offer a FREE initial chat so that you can ask us any questions you may have about buying or selling a property.

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.

Why choose Lockings Solicitors as your conveyancing solicitors?

We move you quickly

We know that once you find your new home, you will want to move without delay. We move our clients 3 weeks quicker to completion than the national average.

Our conveyancers always deal swiftly with correspondence and follow up with other parties where necessary to ensure they are also progressing the transaction.

By keeping on top of everything and making regular checks, we avoid the hold-ups that can happen if the parties do not stay in contact with each other.

We have the expertise to deal promptly with complications

Should legal difficulties arise, our experienced conveyancers will know exactly how to handle them. Whether it is a complication in the legal title, a missing document, or an issue revealed in the search results, we will take immediate action to resolve the situation, reducing the risk of delays.

Regular updates always provided

Moving house can be stressful, and we always aim to reduce the pressure on you. We will provide you with regular updates and make sure that you know what stage your purchase has reached and what needs to happen next. If we need a document or the deposit from you, we will let you know straightaway so that you can make sure we have what we need.

Our solicitors are on lenders panels for all major mortgage providers

If you have a solicitor not on lenders panels of approved conveyancers, you are likely to experience delays, and you could be asked to pay for the lender’s own legal team. At Lockings Solicitors, we are on the approved panels of all major mortgage lenders, so that we can represent them alongside you in the purchase.

This ensures a seamless transaction, and when it is time to complete your purchase, we can order your mortgage advance directly from the bank.

We hold independent accreditation and 800+ Google reviews

We are accredited by the Law Society under their Conveyancing Quality Scheme, which confirms our high standards in providing good legal advice, outstanding client care, and strong risk management. We also have over 800 reviews on Google, and are rated as excellent by our clients, who regularly recommend us to their friends and families.

Our services are great value for money

We offer great value for money, with our services provided by expert conveyancing solicitors with many years of experience in the sector. To enquire about conveyancing costs, call us now, and we will be happy to provide you with a comprehensive conveyancing quote, including any necessary additional expenses such as search fees and Stamp Duty.

Easy onboarding and a secure online conveyancing portal

We make it as easy as possible for you to use our conveyancing service, and we offer a secure online conveyancing portal that you can use if you wish to provide us with the information we will need from you at the start of the transaction.

Exceptional client service

We are known for the high level of client service we provide, and we are always happy to discuss matters during a purchase, replying to your questions and explaining any legal issues that might arise.

We offer flexible availability to make it as easy as possible for you to contact us, whether this is by phone, email, videolink, or in person at one of our offices.

How to get started with a property purchase

If you will be buying a property, you can speak to us now, and we will let you have a no-obligation conveyancing quote. If you would like to go ahead, we can provide you with the initial forms to fill in. This will enable us to get a head start on the transaction, which can help to cut the time taken to reach the exchange of contracts in due course.

We will need to verify your identity and set up a file. If you are also tying in a sale, we will let you have the property information form and fixtures and fittings list to be completed. It is particularly important to deal with this early on, as there may be additional documents that you need to find to accompany the forms, such as window guarantees and planning permissions.

Once you have found a property to buy and had your offer accepted, you can give our details to the estate agent, and also to your mortgage lender.

If you have any questions or you are ready to fill in the initial forms call us now.

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.
