Having qualified as a Solicitor in 2002, I spent several years practising Commercial Property in Leeds and moved to North Yorkshire in 2011. My wife and I have two young children and whilst we are currently experiencing restrictions on family life, we still enjoy the daily excitement and thrills that having young children can bring. In 2016, I transitioned into Residential Property but retained a Commercial element which for me, continued to provide the satisfaction helping clients achieve their goal of moving home or purchasing investment properties in an efficient and time sensitive manner. It can be a stressful process for all parties concerned however I enjoy the challenge of removing that element of stress wherever possible, providing clear guidance and ensuring that my client’s interests are protected at all times. Within our Property Department here at Lockings, I bring extensive experience in a wide range of property related transactions and utilise that experience to specialise in purchasing off-plan (new build) leasehold and freehold properties from developers, negotiating complex leasehold documentation and dealing with Shared Ownership and Help to Buy Schemes.

Rang for an appointment and got one within the week, great location as I work near town in York easy to find, William was great and really put me at ease as never needed a solicitor before even with a mishap on my end he was patient and made sure something was sorted so I didn’t leave with anything unfinished.

After finding hardly anyone in York could assist me with my ID1 form, Will at Lockings was extremely efficient and supporting in getting what I needed done! Would highly recommend! Thanks Will!

Buying and selling properties
We were selling one property and buying another and Lockings offered a very reasonable price to do both of these. As it turned out, the process was more complicated than originally anticipated but Lockings worked to their original estimate and spent a good deal of time sorting out the various issues without compromising their service or commitment to us. We feel that we received first rate, personal service, tailored to our needs and the issues that arose and will certainly use Lockings again. We particularly valued the ability to speak to the team (in the office reception and by phone) and appreciated the time and patience with which they dealt with our case. Thank you.

I was able to find exactly what I was looking for after asking a few questions using the Live Chat on the website. I was then contacted promptly via email to arrange an appointment with William Baggaley, who was professional, friendly and efficient. I will definitely use Lockings Solicitors again.
