Moving home is a difficult and stressful time for anyone. Our move was after spending over 30 years in our previous home. If want a solicitor that is caring, understanding and professional at an affordable price then in my opinion you don't need to look any further than Lockings Solicitors. It takes a lot to impress me but they did hence my 5 star review.

They have very little understanding of people’s concern for personal financial information privacy when dealing with a purchase. Very unprofessional. Did not feel they were working on our behalf.
A representative from Lockings Solicitors responded to this review on 14 March, 2022:
Thanks for taking the time to review our service Rashpal. We’re glad you were satisfied with the outcome but we’re very sorry you felt our understanding of people’s concern for personal financial information privacy when dealing with a purchase was not what you expected as this is one of the central things we focus on and one of the things we get great feedback on 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 thanks for your comments on how we can improve as we believe there is no such thing as bad feedback. Thank you again for your time. We look forward to working with you in the future to show you how we have taken on board what you have said. Regards.

Collected on:
The professional services provided by Lockings was excellent in both of the purchases I made recently in the UK and with me being based in Turkey, they made it easy to complete and understand the various complexities and nuances of the documentation. All of the staff were polite and explained everything step by step throughout the process and I cannot commend them enough.

My initial experience wasn't great, as I felt the first interaction was completely overwhelming i.e sending a huge, impersonal email with numerous attachments.
However, after this my experience was positive. All my calls and questions were answered with diligence and professionalism.
A representative from Lockings Solicitors responded to this review on 14 January, 2022:
Sorry we didn't get off to a good start Garreth. We really appreciate your feedback on that point which we will take on board to improve our service in the future. We are delighted that your experience overall was a positive one and we look forward to working with you again in the future. Regards.

I found Lockings to be a very professional and available law firm. Very clear instructions and responds to my queries without delay. Took great care in conducting due diligence checks which, although onerous, is necessary and gave me confidence in that they follow due process.

Collected on:
The online processes were acceptable, but not as good as the last set of solicitors I used, some 3 years ago. They were also very difficult to get hold of, and never once responded to my voicemails. I had to go through a 3rd party to get updates.
I’m being generous by awarding 3 stars, as I know this is an unprecedented busy period for solicitors. If this had happened in ‘normal’ times I would rate them as poor.

I was very lucky to have Dawn Clarke support me through the FTB process. Without Dawn I think I’d have lost the plot completely. I think solicitors have a reputation for being stand off ish and cold, but Dawn was the complete opposite! She kept me calm, empathised, made me laugh all whilst doing an outstanding and efficient job. There were a few bumps with the new build process but Dawn was always one step ahead. Thank you so much.

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 😊
