Jessica Hurst reccomended

5

I personally worked with Miss Hurst relating to family matters, and it was an absolute pleasure in doing so. I highly recommend her as she always thrives to achieve the best possible outcome. She was extremely supportive during an emotional process for me, and was able to achieve the outcome I had hoped for.
She communicated with me at all times, and was willing to work out of office hours for my case. She is extremely dedicated to her work and she is good at what she does. I just wanted to say a big Thank You for your service. Definitly reccomend!

Lynsey & Abbie

4

After a nightmare of our first house going up for auction because of COVID, Lynsey advised us to the best of her ability on our options to ensure we didn’t lose the sale of our property. From start to finish of the second house we decided to purchase Lynsey and Abbie gave us lots of updates and got as much done as quick as they could. Towards the end - Abbie was fantastic in progressing the exchanging of contracts due to the other solicitors involved not pulling their weight and leaving us in limbo a lot of the time. After the sale Abbie has chased certain documents up we needed even thought we have finished our moves. Our sister in law has been recommended to them already in the purchase of her new house!

Thanks so much for taking the time to feedback Shree Rose. We know that property transactions can be stressful at the best of times and even more so at the moment. Communication and regular updates is key to keeping this to a minimum and is one of our main aims so it’s good to hear that was your experience. Your feedback has been passed on to the team. We look forward to working with you again in the future and thank you so much for the recommendation. There really is no better compliment than that. Best wishes.

New House

5

Lockings have provided a first class service.

We started our process for buying our next house, our Mortgage adviser suggested Lockings. We can not fault them. They were there on the phone if needed, constant updates as soon as they had information. Great service, and even managed to complete our purchase within four days of having the green light for Exchange. Considering the Covid situation, I was very surprised how quick the process went.

Thank you very much.

Not completely happy

3

Good quality work overall but not so much proactive, needs chasing. Some steps were slower than expected. Communication needs improving for better customer satisfaction.

A representative from Lockings Solicitors responded to this review on 20 July, 2020

Thanks for taking the time to rate us. Whilst its good to hear that you feel the quality of our work was good overall I’m sorry you’re not completely happy in your dealings with us as that’s what we strive for and that’s what we achieve most of the time. A big part of the way we do this is by taking on board and acting on feedback both when and when we don’t hit our usual high standards so I’d be most grateful if you would email me on anything specifically we could have been more proactive on so we can improve as we believe there is no such thing as bad feedback. My email address is rbs@lockings.co.uk. Thank you again for your time and help so far. Richard Swaine. Director.

Hi Anne-Marie. Thanks for taking the time to review our Free Initial Chat Service which operates from 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. It can be quite tricky to find a local solicitor to speak to outside normal office hours and at weekends so we are delighted you found it helpful. We look forward to speaking with you and your recommendations again in the future. Regards.
