I am delighted to say that our experience once again, has been exceptional from start to finish!
Emily Withall and Jess are both very informed, patient and also made time, on several occasions, to listen to and respond to any enquiries/worries I had and also I welcomed their experience and advice on several occasions!
It was very refreshing to be able to contact them whenever I felt the need, regarding any issues and always receive a prompt reponse .
We had a very tight timescale of just under 6 weeks to complete our sale and purchase Emily spoke to all other solicitors involved to agree this and without any problem this was achieved !
We are forever grateful for their very professional, friendly approach and will definitely recommend Lockings to all our friends and family
Thank you so so much for an excellent job!

My mother was the client but I dealt with parts. The house sale was held up by the buyer's mortgage application which of course was out of your control. Rachel Fawcett was very helpful and efficient during the sale and after the mortgage was agreed the sale went through smoothly with Tina.

I write to recommend the excellent work by Lockings regarding a first time property purchase. I’d called around a few solicitors in Hull, and had been put off by the dusty, impatient and somewhat poor reception to a new customer, and I was initially swayed to use Lockings thanks to all their really positive reviews on Google. Lockings was a breath of fresh air - I initially spoke to the lovely Rosina Burlak, who was friendly and energetic and sent me a quote within 15 minutes. She liaised with my estate agent almost instantly to confirm my offer. I was then put under the service of Emily Withill’s team and Abbie Carlisle. Emily and Abbie replied to me within 24 hours by email, made everything incredibly easy and were kind and patient every step of the way. Thanks to their incredible and modern service, I exchanged and completed within two months. I would recommend anyone buying a property to use Lockings’ conveyancing services. 10/10

Wow! This is the second time I have used Lockings and they are the best solicitors!! Our family have used them 8 times already and we wouldn’t use anyone else. They are so efficient, nice and helpful!! They are also so quick to complete something, if only all solicitors were like lockings.
Abbie was incredible, she dealt with my case when I was purchasing and selling and she was excellent! Couldn’t recommend them more!!!

Collected on:
We had the unfortunate experience of selling our house twice in a year as the first sale fell through, we changed solicitors second time round for several reasons to lockings and the difference was night and day. We were assigned to Brydie Chavers and she was an absolute star, I never felt like anything was any trouble and they were so responsive. Their online system worked well for us but Brydie was always available to speak to if needed. If I was doing it all over again tomorrow I wouldn't even consider using anyone else.

Craig from the Beverley branch has now been the conveyancer for two of our house purchases and he is fantastic. I have never waited more than 30 mins for an email back even when I email and more than likely ask the same thing numerous times he always has the patience to get back to me. He is quick in his work and an all round generally great solicitor - thank you Craig.
We are also grateful to Eddy at the Beverley branch who will always give us great advice and help push through our previous transactions. Really do recommend this firm.
Thanks again guys for all your hard work 😊
