We were recommended by a business associate to use Lockings for conveyancing on our new holiday let purchase. We have just completed and are genuinely delighted with the service we received from Craig, Eddie and Adele. The responsiveness, professionalism, communication and overall customer service are of a level we have never experienced before - and the price is very competitive. The team at the Beverley office are outstanding and I have no hesitation in recommending them!

Highly recommended! Having been recommended by a friend, i needed assistance with a new will in a very short time frame ( a miracle) allowing us to go away, as our previous solicitor had retired! From the initial call, organisation , professional and knowledgable team i knew it would be organised. I was appointed a senior paralegal Nicola Coughlin, what a fantastic service , she met us to discuss our needs and all legalities in depth. All the stress was taken away knowing we were in great hands and our short deadline would be met. Thank you Nicola for your outstanding care ,professionalism, attention to detail and not to forget turning it around in a few days. I always recommend your services and as Lockings has so many other services we will be returning Thank you

Would highly recommend Lockings after their efficient handling of the sake of my late mums property . Declan Cresswell was our solicitor and always kept us informed of the progress and answered any of queries promptly. Thank you you for a great service!

The Building Blocks to a Better, Brighter Future

We know that issues concerning family and children are emotive and difficult for everyone involved. With this in mind, we’ve designed legal services that make the lives of our clients that little bit easier as we work towards a solution. We do this by:

  • Assigning a dedicated family solicitor to every case. Instead of dealing with many different solicitors throughout the process, you’ll work with a single child care specialist who knows the ins and outs of your case.

  • Providing personal service from start to finish. We approach every stage of your case from initial meeting to final outcome with nothing but sympathy and sensitivity towards your unique situation. We never make you feel like another number amongst a sea of similar cases. Your child’s welfare is our priority and is never made to feel like “work”.

  • Speaking in plain, easy-to-understand terms. We aren’t the type of family law solicitors to use complicated legal language or rush past important points. We’re happy to explain everything twice over and take the time to answer questions.

Although we make the legal process easy to endure, we aim to resolve matters as quickly as possible, so you can start planning for a brighter, better future.

I used Lockings for my house sale and purchase. I highly recommend these solicitors, from the ease of obtaining the initial quote, through the selling and buying process of two properties, the staff kept me informed and updated . Once I had sold my property, I then went out and offered on a new property, which required a quick sale , Lockings stepped up and within 5 weeks the property was purchased. Excellent service at every stage and went above and beyond when I needed help ! Thank you.

We contacted Lockings to rewrite our wills. Lucy visited at home and she very professionally completed the task. We are now in receipt of our new wills and we engaged Lockings to keep the originals in perpetuity. Very competent.

Ms Adele Kirk at Locking Solicitors in Beverley was brilliant from start to finish. She was professional, approachable, and kept me informed at every stage, making everything feel much more straightforward and less stressful. Adele took the time to explain things clearly, answered my questions promptly, and made me feel well supported throughout. I’m extremely grateful for her help and would happily recommend Adele and the team.

Non pressurised professional service at all times. Having to put a parent into care is something no one should have to deal with so having a reliant service behind me was so reassuring 👏🏻
