Virgin Money Solicitor Panel

When you are buying a property with a mortgage, you need to use a conveyancing solicitor approved by your lender. At Lockings Solicitors, we are on the Virgin Money solicitor panel, meaning that we are authorised to represent both you and Virgin Money in a property purchase.

Using conveyancers not approved by your lender is likely to cause delays, and there could be extra expenses, as they will need to instruct their own legal team.

Our conveyancing solicitors are highly experienced and always aim to move a purchase forward effectively, reaching the exchange of contracts promptly. We are also known for the excellent service we provide, and we will ensure that you are kept up to date with the progress of your transaction.

We are accredited by the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme and are highly rated by our clients.

If you are looking for conveyancers on the Virgin Money solicitor panel, call us today. We 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 contact form 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 for your house purchase?

We can move you faster

The conveyancing process can be lengthy, but we always take all possible steps to move a transaction forward without hold-ups. We will keep in contact with your seller’s solicitor, ensuring they are chasing any outstanding information, and we will let you know at once if there is anything we require from you.

If you are tying in a sale, we will respond promptly to enquiries received from your buyer’s solicitor, and keep the pressure on them to ensure they are also progressing matters effectively. Working in this way helps to avoid the situation where another party is not taking the steps needed to reach the exchange of contracts.

We have the legal expertise needed to resolve problems

If a legal issue arises with your purchase, we have the experience to handle it, and we will do so promptly. Legal problems can often delay a transaction if a conveyancer is not sure how to resolve them. By choosing us, you can be sure that your solicitor will have the expertise to deal with any complications and that it will be done proactively.

We are on the Virgin Money solicitor panel

Using a solicitor on the Virgin Money solicitor panel means that your transaction will be faster. If you ask us to represent you, pass our details to Virgin Money and they will be able to send us your mortgage offer as soon as it is issued.

We can represent them in the purchase, at the same time as representing you. They will need a range of information from us, along with a certificate that we will sign confirming that your property meets their requirements in respect of issues such as a sound legal title and acceptable search results. They will then be able to send your mortgage advance directly to us on the day of completion.

We keep in contact with you

We know that moving house can be stressful, and we will make sure that you have frequent updates on progress. In addition, we will let you know if anything unexpected arises and ensure that we are easy to contact, should you want to speak to us. If you need us to ring you, we will always do so promptly.

We are independently accredited and highly rated by our clients

We hold the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme award, which recognises high service standards in the provision of legal advice, client care, and risk management.

Our clients rate us as Excellent, and we hold in excess of 800 reviews on Google.

Our service is great value for money

Our conveyancing services are provided by expert property solicitors and represent great value for money. For a no-obligation conveyancing quote, call us today and we will be happy to go through the figures with you. We can also let you know what additional expenses there will be, such as Stamp Duty and the Land Registry’s fee for entering your purchase onto the Land Register.

Our advice and guidance are clearly explained

Property law is not always straightforward, and we will always take the time to explain matters in plain English, avoiding legal jargon. We will answer your questions and make sure that you understand any issues clearly so that you can make informed decisions where necessary.

We have a simple onboarding process

If you would like to instruct us to deal with your purchase, give us a call and we will be pleased to get the ball rolling. Our onboarding process is simple, and we have a secure online portal that you can use to let us have your identity documentation and other necessary information.

We are focused on sustainability and diversity

As a firm, we regularly review our sustainability and diversity and keep working to improve in these important areas.

We offer a free initial chat

If you are about to buy a property, you probably have questions about the conveyancing process and how to get started. We offer a free initial chat so that you can ask us anything. We can also let you have a no-obligation conveyancing quote.

Tying in a sale

If you are also selling a property, we can tie this in with your purchase. It can be helpful to contact us early on, even before you have a buyer in place, so that we can let you have the forms you will need to fill in. There is a lengthy property information form, and you will probably have to find certain paperwork to accompany this, such as guarantees if you have new windows, or planning consents and building regulations approvals if alterations have been made to the property. There is also a fixtures and fittings list to complete, listing exactly what you will be leaving at the property.

By filling in the forms now, we will be able to issue the contract package quickly once you find a buyer. Getting a prompt start like this can reduce the time taken to reach readiness for the exchange of contracts.
