Excellent Service

Rachelle Laisnez was handling the purchase of a new home which turned out to be very problematic. Her advice and true professionalism enabled us to make informed decisions and Rachelle made sure time was taken to ensure we fully understood every detail involved in any decision making. We cannot thank her enough for helping us to make what has turned out to be the best decision for our family.

Would recommend to anyone

I've been dealing with Lockings for the last 4 months during a house sale. I've dealt with numerous people in the firm and they were all friendly, helpful and efficient. My case was complex and was handed over to Rachelle, who has been excellent. Rachelle always answered my emails quickly, professionally and kindly and when things didn't quite go to plan, the situation was explained to me clearly and with kind advice and I felt confident making the decision I landed on.

Solomon Investment Partners - Empire Property Holdings Deposti

Numerous investors have worked through Lockings Solictors for Empire Property Holdings/Solomon Investment Partners Property Introductions - Property Purchases, but now need a process to get their Deposits back... What is Lockings Solictors doing to support Investors in this action, considering that Solomon Investment Partners has now been liquidated? Understand that all Lockings have done is requested a payment of £420 to get deposits back and then nothing has happened?

Property purchase service

Thank you for this good news! During the challenge of covid, the financial crisis affecting our mortgage, and along the 'highways and byways and the ups and downs' of this 3 year long journey.
We wish to thank you, and all the members of your 'Lockings' team who have professionally helped us to purchase our property in Consort House, Doncaster.
Best Regards

Champions of Client Unfriendlyness

I would like to nominate this firm for the Nobel Price for client unfriendliness: they deal with you as client as you being a drug dealer documentary demands about money flows that entirely exceeds what is required by law, e-mails are not responded to, same for telephone calls, deadlines are announced days before the actual date. Really extremely client unfriendly; they do not work for you as a client although they will charge you for services not, or very poorly, provided. Imported work is done by very junior unexperienced staff. Stay away from these people if you can as much as possible. Elbert Willem Timmerman
