Refreshingly straightforward service…

Refreshingly straightforward service without the formality and stuffiness of many legal firms. Everything was explained to me in the clearest of terms and I was encouraged to ask questions if there was anything I didn't understand. I highly recommend their services.

Will and Power of At

Nicola was extremely professional and knowledgeable. She was able to deal with our wills and Powers of Attorney efficiently. Nicola listened to our needs and advised accordingly. We are extremely happy with the service we received and will certainly use the firm in the future.

100% recommend Lockings.

We recetly used Lockings when purchasing a property.
We can 100% recommend Lockings to anyone buying or selling a property.
From the start of the process to completion the team at Lockings were exemplary.
William (Solicitor) was brilliant in dealing with all the legal bits, he was so thorough, because it was a leasehold property that we were buying the process was complicated, but William took time to explain & keep us informed of the progress.
Between them Declan & Craig managed the Conveyancing & Completion process, we were always kept in the loop & kept well informed.
Lockings initial quote was competitive, it was a fixed price quotation & we were kept well advised in advance of any extra costs that would apply.
Buying any property can be a very stressful process but I can honestly say that the Lockings team made it as stress free for us as possible.
We would highly recommend Lockings to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Excellent service.

We used Lockings for our sale and purchase and were thoroughly impressed.
Whilst we experienced some challenges with certain legal elements of the sale, these were dealt with promptly by Olivia and her colleagues. Their level of knowledge and expertise in conveyancing was clearly evident.
Very competitive and great value for money.
Would highly recommend.

LOCKINGS SOLICITORS…courteous, considerate & competent staff.

All the staff at LOCKINGS SOLICITORS seem to have 'people skills' as a natural talent. From first encounters or queries with receptionists at the desk or on the telephone, there was a sense of Welcome, your query is important to us and we aim to be helpful.
I have had reason to deal with two senior solicitors at Lockings and I found them to be courteous, considerate and obviously very competent.
Thank You to Lucy and Nicola.

Excellent Service

Recently used Nicky Dobson and the CS Team at the Beverley Office and could not fault their service at all. Possibly the best solicitors I have ever used, they dealt with both our sale and purchase of a new property and we were kept updated at all times. Appreciated the email updates as this helped keep us informed and not worry! Nicky and the team were always on hand to offer advice and answer any questions I had professionally but friendly at the same time. Would not hesitate to use again in the future (if we ever move again!) or to family & friends.
