Lockings Solicitors

Plain-Speaking, Smart-Thinking Solicitors

We make speaking to a solicitor simple — tell us about your legal concerns, and we’ll give you straightforward legal advice with no hidden costs and without any of the jargon.

Our Story

Like many law firms, we started out operating as a traditional solicitors’ partnership. While this trusty and well-respected model worked in the past, by listening to our customers and putting them first, we realised it worked more for the law firm’s convenience than anyone else’s.

We wanted to do more for our local community, our clients and our teams, as they had already invested so much in us.

It was time for a change.

So we switched to a contemporary, client-first approach and never looked back.

Slowly but surely, we changed how we did things to add more value to our work. We stopped using complicated legal phrases and started explaining things in plain English. We introduced fair and transparent fees and designed worry-free guarantees. We are committed to keeping our customers in the loop, no matter how long or short the legal process is for them (which can rarely be predicted accurately in advance).

Where We Are Now

We make time for no-obligation chats and are open to the idea of video calls. We have improved our team benefits package to include both serious support and fun perks. We are now part of many local initiatives, donating to good causes and connecting with our community on a much deeper level.

In fact, we’re still not done making changes — and will likely never be. Our team of talented solicitors is constantly evolving and thinking of new ways to make our services the best they can be. That’s why our clients always choose us.

One thing will stay the same, though, and that’s our philosophy. We believe speaking to a solicitor should be a straightforward affair, especially when it’s personal.

Mrs Nicola Coughlin provided excellent advice when my husband and I were updating our Wills. First class service and wouldn’t hesitate to use Lockings again, or recommend the company.

Nicola and the team made the process of making a will really straightforward. I had obtained quotes and I was pleased with the reasonable price which was broken down, they replied to all queries promptly and it was completed in little time. We had previously also used the firm for conveyancing recently. I thoroughly recommend them.

I think Lockings is the best firm of solicitors that I have used for conveyancing. The other firms that I used in the past were good, but you couldn't really put a cigarette paper between any of them. Lockings, on the other hand, were quick to communicate updates and kept me very well informed every step of the way. Declan and the team at Lockings in Beverley did a really good job. I thoroughly recommend their services.

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.
