Reviews

With conveyancing services you only realise the importance of having a good lawyer when it became more complicated than originally expected; which seems to be most times! QS Lockings were great throughout my sale & purchase. But when things got difficult Lesley was an absolute rock – always one step ahead of the 2 other law firms in the chain, and there for me with sensible, calm advice. She did just what you look for in a great lawyer – she lifted the stress from me. I received an excellent service at a very reasonable price - and I'm glad I did not make the mistake of going for an online bargain basement service.

Very impressed with the service we received, in particular, Laura.

The conveyancing service I have experienced has always been be well organised and competent.

Buying a home was fear inducing, but no matter what the question or help needed, Jessica and her team was always there and ready to help.

I have been using Craig at Lockings for several years now as my property solicitor and the service has always been exceptional. A big thank you to all the team.

I contacted Andrew McBirnie as a result of recommendation of a fellow professional to act in respect of employment rights issues. From the initial meeting I felt confident that he had the knowledge, experience and confidence to resolve these issues to my benefit. Throughout the process, Mr McBirnie has been readily contactable, approachable, proactive and has provided comprehensive understandable advice and information. The initial consultation has a fixed fee but thereafter I found the pricing structure to be reasonable and transparent which was reassuring throughout a stressful period. I would not hesitate to recommend these solicitors....although I hope not to need them again!

Quality Solicitors Lockings Hull were recommended by Estate Agents in East London, in February 2016, to carry out the conveyancing for us in the purchase of a leasehold flat. After a shaky start with poor communication from Lockings, Stephen Dettman, Senior Technical Solicitor, took over our file.

Since then Stephen has been fantastic, sorting out the legal side of our purchase including ensuring that the three leases titles involved , some of which were incorrect and out of date at times of previous sales of the flat, are all now correct. He has also overseen the legal negotiations of a new lease extension for us. At all times he has been exceptionally professional and has worked very hard on our behalf for over a year, dealing with other solicitors and agencies with great efficiency. He has been very proactive and always had deadlines firmly under control, dealing with things well in advance. The whole process has seemed very complicated to us, but Stephen has always made himself available and taken the time to explain, with great patience (often more than once), everything to us in detail by phone and email.

We are extremely grateful to him, and are sure we would not have had such a successful outcome without his professional help and support.

Good service throughout process

Craig returns calls and emails promptly keeping me informed at all times. Pleasure to deal with.

Very professional, friendly and helpful a pleasure doing business with you.

Excellent service and always kept up to date with any changes/information

Very happy with the service provided

Will writing, very professional service

Fantastic service from Craig and team for the last 10 years.

Sarah Barry at Quality Solicitors Lockings really helped me during what was a difficult time. Dealing with my late mothers estate on both a personal and practical level was feeling overwhelming until the day I walked in to their office in Hessle. From day one I was given a personal service, they spoke to me in language I understood and made all the jargon in the paperwork I had been dealing with suddenly make sense! The whole process was smooth, efficient and professional and much quicker than I had expected. Using this firm for my probate matter has meant that I would not have considered going anywhere else to deal with the resulting sale of the property and I have also booked in with them to arrange my own will. I could not recommend this firm highly enough.

Barnardo's has a great working relationship with QualitySolicitors Lockings, we're delighted that the firm supports our Will Scheme at all of their branches and has done for 4 years. Feedback from our supporters who've completed their Wills with the firm is always positive. Staff are always helpful and efficient! We are proud to be partnered with QS Lockings!

First class service once again Thanks

Lockings Solicitors have looked after Chris Lee Carpets and Floorings legal side of the business for many years now. We are also proud to give Lockings a great service in return.

We were directed to QS Lockings by our mortgage provider and found their service to be second to none. After our initial house move fell through, we decided on a change and had no hesitation in re-appointing them even though it meant we would incur an additional charge from the bank in question. The member of staff dealing with our case was professional, polite and friendly. Any concerns or questions we had were responded to quickly and she was always available to assist us when necessary We would definitely use them again and recommend their services to anyone.

The team were very helpful and efficient, they kept us up to date throughout every step of our property purchase, whereas when I previously purchased a house using different solicitors I had to chase them constantly for up dates. They really did take the stress out of buying a house and I would definitely recommend them to anyone buying a house.

Both my sale and purchase have been handled by you and you have kept me updated and well informed throughout both transactions. Professional, friendly and helpful throughout thank you.

Excellent and efficient service, you made everything so easy and stress free. Communication via email was prompt and always reassuring. It’s never a pleasant experience selling a house, but I can honestly say the best one so far thanks to Craig and the team at Lockings. Would definitely use Lockings again.

Excellent service from start to finish. Very on the ball and quick to answer any queries

Absolutely fantastic service and very efficient from start to finish. The Quality part of the Lockings name justifies itself. Brilliant communication with Lesley - really would not hesitate to use again for any of our legal needs. If only all firms were this good!

You have been very helpful, answered all my questions when needed. As for you service you are fantastic, i would highly recommened you to anyone i know.

Friendly and helpful team.
Easy to contact and provided very clear & concise communication.

Fast and efficient service. Can't fault Craig or Hollie who dealt with us.

No completion no fee was very welcome as our first sale fell through at the last minute. Quick turn-around with second purchaser without the need for repetition of form filling etc.

My family have used Lockings for many years. when we had a bereavement last year they were extremely sensitive and supportive and helped enormously by taking the stress out of the legal spaghetti with a fully inclusive service.

Efficient and brilliant service. Name truly reflects QUALITY service.

Thank you

Outstanding throughout the purchase of our home! Always updating us to let us know how our contract was going, amazing service making it very easy as a first time buyer !!!!

Being a first time buyer I was unsure on some of the stages of buying a house. QSL helped me at every step of the way and answered all my questions in a quick, friendly and professional way. The online case tracking system meant I was kept up to date with all the information I needed to make it a quick and easy transaction. Will be using again when I buy my next house.

We have recently sold & bought through Lockings the Beverley Branch, and the service was exceptional, advising us along the way, even when we hit stumbling blocks. We have only ever used the Hull Branch and i'm happy to say both branches have never let us down. Special thanks to Craig & Adele..... Thank you.

Great service and especially like the way you manage your clients expectations right from the off with the welcome pack and continued communication. Will happily recommend.

We received a first class service in helping the process of buying our first house. Would highly recommend.

Great service really friendly and professional

Very efficient and helpfull

I would definitely recommend Quality Solicitors for your quality service throughout the process.
Very efficient and they keep you informed about the progress of your case without even asking for the update.
Highly Relaible

We were recommended to Lockings to deal with our business. Lockings kept us fully informed throughout the process by post, by email, by text and by phone let down only by the absense of a carrier pidgeon! Excellent service and competitive fees, would recommend.

Me and my wife have just finished buying our first property, so we were both nervous because we didn't understand the process but quality solicitors Lockings just made Everthing so simple and easy. Very polite staff when I phoned them. Most of the contact was done via emails again making it much easier. The whole team was just a breath of fresh air and would definelty use them again and recommend them to freinds and family. Thank you again to mr Ricketts and his team. Thank you very much.

Couldn’t be happier... loving our new home

Really good service from both Jessica and Brydie. I will definately be recommending them. Once again thankyou for all your help!

Very fast and smooth process start to finish, communication was excellent, everything was done when it was said it would be done, no having to chase up anything, faultless professional service, would use again in future. Many thanks.

Our work for lockings was only a house sale and from start to finish we where informed of what was going on at all times .Lynsey Schofields staff where very helpful to us when we visited the office and we where updated of what was going on with the sale of the house on a regular basis . All in all from our side of the sale it was made very easy by Lynsey Schofield and her team .

We had great service, selling our property was quick and smooth ,was straight forward were kept informed all the way of the progress of the sale we would highly recomend

I have recommended several of my clients onto Lockings, who are purchasing and selling their properties and all have received a very professional service from them. Clients have informed me that they have been impressed with their dealings with Lockings and thanked me for the recommendation to them. I have no hesitation in recommending them to my clients for their conveyancing needs.

Very good happy with the service

A very simple and smooth process to follow when selling my property. Excellent communications keeping me informed at all stages with someone in the team to speak to if there were questions. When we find the property we want to purchase we will without reservation be using Lockings

We are long term family clients of Locking's, the service provided has always been excellent, courteous and professional. We have no hesitation in recommending them.

Lesley was efficient, responsive and very persistent! She did a great job acting on my behalf for my house sale and I had complete confidence that she would not let me down. I have to say she is exactly the kind of person you want when you sell your house and I fully recommend her.

E mails were handled quickly which was helpful.

Over all the service was good keep up the good work

We were very pleased with the efficiency and professionalism shown by Jessica Hall and Team. We don't have anything other than praise for the whole team. Our case was dealt with by utmost diligence and respect. All the queries were answered in timely way. We will be delighted to recommend QSL to others.

Excellent customer service

Absolutely amazing team, easily contactable and always happy to help with my many questions. Speedy and helpful throughout! I will definitely use again if needed in the future and would 100% recommend!

Always very efficient and helpful. Great service.

We were extremely happy with the whole process from start to finish. QSL were recommended by our mortgage advisor and we are glad we listened. The team were very responsive to all our questions via email and phone call. We were very impressed with communication and valued the same day response to our many emails. We would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you!

All the best hope u countuine too give good service too other clients aswel.

Jessica and her team were very good at keeping us updated throughout the procedure. They were excellent at acting upon requests we made and made the whole process easy and as straight forward as it could be.

Nicola looked after us very well. Pleasant and informative.

Very professional nice to deal with

We used Quality Solicitors Lockings conveyancing for the recent purchase of a rental property. There was quite a lot of work to do as the situation was complex with the property and everyone involved, but somehow it was all sorted within a few weeks - weeks faster than expected! Plus, they were a pleasure to deal with and never needed to be prompted. Many thanks.

I felt like it was a friendship more than a business contract. Moving house at my age is not easy and I was given both respect and genuine help. In parallel another elderly member of my family was moving from the South Coast to Outer Manchester and had very much inferior service which made her move very trying

Highly professional service, no superfluous communications and a real sense of support throughout the processes of both buying and selling. A very big thankyou from both of us.

Selling my late dads property was always going to be difficult because it was the last thing I have to do for him. With lockings help and experience it went smoothly and efficiently. I can't express how much this means that you have such trust at such a hard time.

Communication was good and appreciated the assistance when the buyers solicitors were late with paperwork close to deadline.
Emily was a great help also.

Got referred to them from Nationwide Building Society - superb, they are very prompt and attention to detail is beyond expectations. Better than my previous solicitors.

Excellent service . We received advice and help with everything we requested . Craig and Hollie are great to deal with and we also got prompt replies to any questions we had.

I would like to thank Andrew for his advice on an Employment Law issue I had and for explaining everything to me. I would recommend using Lockings Solicitors.

Fantastic communication throughout, always very quick to reply to correspondence.

I have been using Lockings since 1987. They have acted on my behalf when selling and purchasing several homes, making wills, and recently sorted out power of attorney for my husband and I. My daughter is in the process of purchasing her first home through Lockings. I have great confidence in them and I wouldn't use anyone else. I would greatly recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.

A client of our required a solcitor, a collegue of mine for LMS recommened Quality Solicitors, the case in question turned out to be a nightmare and draged on for a year, Quality Solcitors where the star of the show, there patience and quality to detail brought the case to a happy end, it took nearly a year, but Quality Solicitors Locking go us there, I would recommend there services to everyone that I know. Thank you so much.

Was a bit dubious at first and put it down to teething problems. At the end we couldn't fault you.

Dealt with everything professionally and in a timely manner. Thank you.

On behalf of my wife and I we can't stop saying that you for all your support and the way you handled our mortgage process. If I am to describe you in one word, I will say EXCELLENT. We would be more than happy to recommend you/your office to everyone we come across who might want to take the same step we took to get a home.

Thank you very much

Very good prompt service from Nicola

You did everything to keep us informed and reduce the stress

I have had dealing with Craig for 2 properties and he has always been amazing! I would recommend lockings solictors to anyone in need!

Quite a lot of the communication is carried out by email which makes things move more smoothly and also the team are very quick to respond by telephone to answer any queries. Always very polite and very helpful. Would recommend them.

All staff spoke to me in a way that i understood.. always reassured me if i got worried and explained every thing clearly.

I was very pleased with the way everything was delt very efficient and kept me updated along the way which was very helpful and I always knew everything was getting done quickly. I will highly recommended locking solicitor. Great team very friendly.

Craig always replies to communications very promptly and keeps you informed of developments

Craig kept us well updated with any activity. Craig was very quick to respond to our queries and answered all our questions.

Constantly kept up to date not once have I had to chase them up for anything so easy to deal with would highly recommend

We didn’t have any experience as first time buyers. We went with QSL because they were friendly, professional and very informative. We received all the necessary correspondence we needed and I didn’t have to chase them at any point. We were regularly kept up to date with the progress of our house buy. Our completion was smooth and efficient and I wouldn’t hesitate to use QSL again and recommend them to friends and family.

Had some issues with the purchasers solicitor which was handled very professionally and to a satisfactory conclusion by Hollie.

Belt and braces - no nonsense - when you absolutely have to get it done. There you have it. Thanks Craig & team for another job well done.

Once again I was pleased with the professional and courteous services provided by Lockings. The whole process was progressed efficiently and I was kept well informed throughout the sale of my property.

Very efficient service all emails and telephone calls were pleasant

We couldn't fault the service, Adam Ali always responded immediately to our enquiries and kept us up to date at all times, he also explained everything very carefully to us. We were extremely impressed with the service, thank you.

All I will say is this “if every law firm worked as efficiently as yours, it would’ve have took what seemed like for ever to move house” the sellers solicitor are absolutely useless and I wouldn’t have paid them in fresh air !!! On the other hand Lynsey and her team are like a swish watch.

Quality solicitors, particularly Laura, was very helpful and answered any questions we had. They made the whole process easy and straightforward. We would definitely use them again.

Very good fast responses from Emily, Overall very pleased

Couple of suggestions I read everything and still missed I need insurance from exchange not completion maybe highlight it a bit more, and you should probably try and push wills a bit more at the same time as house purchase

We were very pleased with the way the lease was dealt with. It was quick and efficient and we were kept fully informed of every detail throughout the proceedings. The whole procedure was done in a very friendly manner.

Recommended by Bannister’s Estate Agency. We were very happy with the service and communication with Lesley Connor. My husband did ring Lesley quite a lot and she was always polite and very friendly when dealing with any queries. We would definitely recommend.

We have recently sold & bought through Lockings the Beverley Branch, and the service was exceptional, advising us along the way, even when we hit stumbling blocks. We have only ever used the Hull Branch and i'm happy to say both branches have never let us down. Special thanks to Craig & Adele..... Thank you.

Efficient friendly reliable service. They excel at communication, Lesley and her team always get back to you if you have an enquiry, this is so important, thank you.

As per my email to your office, the service level was fantastic, the regular and easy to understand updates amazing and undoubtedly the best ever experience I have had as a customer

Very happy with the service provided

Very helpful and easy to work with.

Lesley was absolutely great, I had no problem getting in touch and everything ran as smoothly as possible. Lovely lady and I would definitely recommend her thank you so much

The whole team were fantastic, as I spoke to Brydie a lot as well. I found everyone to be incredibly helpful and genuinely felt very informed throughout. The regular emails with the useful docs were brilliant, the mailed forms were always received in good time and clear on what I had to do. My fiancé has been selling his house at the same time and his solicitors were not a patch on you guys-they are slow, always lacking details and information, as well as regularly getting things confused, it really compounded how important it is to have a reliable team working for you. And that’s what you have been through out for me- I could not rate you high enough.

I am so glad that I have chosen QualitySolicitors, you guys are really quality solicitors, very professionals and updating me about every bits and pieces.

Did 2 transactions Will & Property transfer via Craig Schofiled. Both service was great.

Thank you for all the hard work! We have already recommend you to a family member.

Have been dealing with Lockings for my house purchase. They are patient to listen to my queries and swift to respond.

I needed a new will and this was dealt with efficiently, kindly and courteously

Everything was explained to me clearly and my emails and questions were always answered very promptly. Very good service from Lynsey and her team.

Very efficient service from Craig and Adele

Jessica was very professional from the start to the end. Her communication and response was brilliant. The process was stress free. Would highly recommend Jessica and her team.

Thank you

Very helpful and professional services. Big thanks to J Hall and her team.

I was very impressed at how professionally everything was handled including how helpful and friendly your reception staff always made me feel, welcomed and were so helpful and friendly. I will use your practice again when I decide to sell in 2 years.

I rang qualitysolicitors lockings and they recommended the meet a legal expert. The cost of this was very reasonable and Sarah gave me good advice and she used plain English ! Overall I was very pleased with their service and would recommend them. Thanks Sarah!

Very efficient and professional service that I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to others

Absolutely amazing cannot fault this company at all first time buyers and moved into our house within 12 weeks would definitely recommend.

Excellent service, always happy to answer my questions when I phoned. The whole process that seemed daunting was made simple and went through very quickly.

Adam Ali from the Beverley branch has been imperative to my house sale. It hasn't been the most straightforward of sales however Adam understood how important the completion was done on time and supported this all the way through. He was always on hand by email or phone even when I was chasing this frequently throughout the day. Thank you Adam

Service was appropriate and considered.

Pleasantly surprised by how good the service was, which I appreciated at a time such as moving house. Would definitely recommend or use again myself. Please pass on my thanks to the team

Excellent service, quick and efficient

Excellent service. Many thanks

Bought a house. .everything ran smoothly and I was kept up to date

Excellent service, fast and efficient at dealing with any issues that arose. Will fully recommend to any friends or family purchasing a property in the future.

Hi Craig, just a quick note to say thanks for your excellent service, despite a few ups and downs, some my fault and some dropped on me, you have been absolutely fantastic, the best and most efficient service I have received and most reasonably priced, thanks again, cheers.

Very efficient and everyone I spoke to very approachable

A rapid service with good communication throughout.

The service was excellent and I would like to thank the team for all the assistance they gave me at a stressfull time.

Everyone i spoke to in the team was always brilliant at answering my questions

Thank you

Lucy was extremely knowledgable in everything she did for my wife and I
She addressed all the issues we had and answered all our questions in a professional manner
Nothing was to much trouble

We were highly satisfied with the service. We were charged the quoted amount for the sale of our property. We were contacted by email, just the right amount of information during the sale. Any questions that we had were dealt with on the day. Would use again for and recommend to others.

At Dove House Hospice we have been incredibly fortunate to have had the support of Quality Solicitors Lockings in recent years. They have been involved in our Make a Will appeal, as well as individual staff fundraising including participation in our annual Lock up Your Boss. The support we have had, both in office, and through sponsorship, has been instrumental in allowing the Make a Will appeal to grow and be the success that it is for the hospice. Quality Solicitors Lockings have processed in excess of 100 wills on behalf of our supporters in their time as charity partners and we have received nothing but positive feedback.

It has been a pleasure to receive letters from a lawyer written in plain English!

Lockings acted on my behalf in selling my property. I found them to be very professional and kept me up to date with all developments in my case via phone and email which was really appreciated. They responded promptly to any queries I had and were always very friendly. I would certainly recommend their services.
