Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing panel

If you are buying a property with a Yorkshire Building Society mortgage, you need a solicitor approved by their conveyancing panel. At Lockings Solicitors, we are on the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing panel, as well as the panel of all other major high street lenders.

This means we are able to represent both you and Yorkshire Building Society in your purchase. If your conveyancer was not able to act for the lender, you might have to pay extra for the lender to use their own solicitor or alternatively, switch to a different conveyancer, which is likely to cause delays.

Our conveyancing solicitors are extremely experienced, meaning that should your transaction run into difficulties, we will know how to resolve matters promptly. We are known for our attention to detail and always work to reach the exchange of contracts as soon as possible.

We offer a FREE initial chat so that you can ask us any questions you may have about buying a property with a Yorkshire Building Society mortgage. 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 locally and across the country in freehold purchases. We also deal with leasehold and newbuild purchases for local properties.

Why choose Lockings Solicitors for your conveyancing?

A high level of expertise

Our team members have been dealing with conveyancing for many years, including handling complex and high-value transactions. We have the understanding to deal with complications effectively, reducing the risk of a purchase falling through.

Approved by the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing panel

We are on the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing panel, meaning we can report to them on the legal title to the property and request your mortgage advance directly from them when it is time to complete your purchase.

A smooth move

Having a solicitor who works to move matters along efficiently can make a big difference to the time taken to exchange of contracts.

We know that you will probably want to move without delay, and we deal with matters proactively to progress transactions as smoothly as possible. This includes chasing outstanding information regularly and checking in with the other parties, including the estate agent, your seller’s solicitor and, where you have a related sale, your buyer’s solicitor. This can help ensure that there are no hold-ups elsewhere and keep those involved focused on providing the necessary paperwork on time.

Expert advice and clear guidance

We will make sure that you have the expert advice you need to make informed decisions where necessary. We know that property law can be confusing, and we will always take the time to discuss issues with you as needed. Our advice will be in clear and jargon-free language, and we are happy to answer your questions as they arise throughout the transaction.

Regular updates

We will provide regular updates as your transaction progresses, keeping you abreast of the progress that has been made and letting you know as soon as anything is required from you.

Responsive solicitors

Purchasing a property with a Yorkshire Building Society mortgage

If you would like to instruct us to represent you in your purchase, call us today and we will let you have the initial forms to fill in. This will enable us to verify your identity and open a file so that we are ready to start work as soon as you have an offer on a house accepted.

You should pass our details on to the estate agent once you have a purchase in place, and they will give these to the seller’s solicitor so that the contract package can be sent to us straightaway.

Our details should also be given to your lender, so that we will receive your mortgage offer when it is issued.

When we have the contract papers and title information, we will apply for searches. We will go through everything provided and return to the seller’s solicitors with a list of questions.

Once we have the relevant information, we can report to you, to include drawing your attention to any issues of concern.

The next stage is to prepare for the exchange of contracts. You will need to let us have a deposit, usually 10% of the purchase price. If you have a sale, we can use the deposit from this. We will discuss completion dates with the seller’s solicitor and the estate agent, and once a date is agreed on, contracts can be exchanged.

We will order your Yorkshire Building Society mortgage advance, and on the completion date, we will send the rest of the purchase money to the seller’s solicitor. We will ring you as soon as they receive it, and you can then contact the estate agent to arrange to collect the keys.
