Outstanding Service!

I was very impressed with the service provided by Will Baggaley at Lockings Solicitors. They were highly recommended to me which gave me peace of mind. He was thorough, professional and kind making me feel at ease and well looked after. Do not hesitate to give them a call if you are in need of advice and support. You will be astounded at the support you receive.

Named contact from the start.

Named contact from the start.
Olivia was very professional, knowledgeable and always responded to any queries promptly, which took all the stress out of moving.
I have worked with other solicitors but Lockings are truly worthy of a 5* review.

Lockings are great.

Craig and Declan have been really helpful and very prompt in their replies. Our house sale has had a few hiccups along the way but they made the legal side plain sailing. We will use them again when we come to buy somewhere for our new home.

Amazing, quick to respond

Declan was amazing and really supported me and my partner through the purchase of our first house. I really could not recommend him or this company enough. They always replied as soon as they could, and they were incredibly proactive throughout.

Complex purchase

Complex purchase, handled with expertise and sensitivity.

Whilst the purchasing of our home was not straightforward by any means, it would have been made more complicated without the expert advice and guidance offered by our representative from Lockings, Lucy Pickering. She is an absolute star, no job was too much, she worked outside of her hours, and genuinely/generally ensured that we were able to complete on time. I could not recommend her highly enough, worth going to Lockings just for her support.

I cannot fault Locking's for our house move

I cannot fault Locking's whom we have used for
the second time. I would highly recommend them for your house move. Moving is very stressful and Declan, Ed and the CS Team were great in helping us make some difficult but ultimately the right decisions. And they successfully chased all the other solicitors in the chain. I would highly recommend using a local firm such as Lockings for your house move and avoid like the plague the slightly cheaper online conveyancing services who just do not cut it IMO.

Excellent!

Lockings have been excellent in handling my house purchase! They have been so easy to deal with, communication has been excellent, professional and polite, everything has run so smoothly. Earlier this year they also handled a probate case, all stress and worry evaporated as soon as they became involved. I can’t thank them enough! Totally recommended and I will be using them again in the future. Thank you Lockings!

Great service with a complicated house move.
The take-on process was smooth and fast with clear information provided from the outset.
Rachelle and Stephanie were excellent, especially when difficult moments called for calm professionalism.

Avoid Lockings of Beverley

Lockings solicitors in Beverley are completely unprofessional. Adele in particular was rude about us to a colleague via email who in turn forwarded the email on to us! Not pleasant to receive and completely unjustified. Also, Stamp Duty was calculated wrong. I have used Lockings for previous house sales and purchases but will definitely not use again. Terrible solicitors who are incompetent and arrogant. Their only saving grace is William who we found to be thorough and approachable.
