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.

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.

always a pleasure dealing with Rachelle and her team
It's always a pleasure dealing with Rachelle and her team!
I have worked with many solicitors over the years, and Rachelle and co always come out on top! They are always prompt at responding to our questions, and our clients questions and explain in a very clear manner that everyone can understand (that doesn't always happen with solicitors).
Would highly recommend them!

Great service - Helpful & professional
We have worked with Rachelle and the team at Lockings Solicitors for quite some time now - They are always more than willing to take the time to explain matters further, whether it's legal terminology, Anti Money Laundering checks, or clauses within contracts and leases, which either we or our clients have been unsure of. Rachelle gathers updates from her team regularly and provides the same to me within 24 hours of my request, I personally couldn't ask for a greater service than that. I would definitely recommend this company for a 1st class service.

Rachelle and her team respond promptly to buyers questions and provide a high level of legal service to buyers that we referrer to them.
They are friendly and proactive in their approach and by all accounts a pleasure to work with.

Could not of done this without Rachelle!
In buying my family home, I was naturally very nervous in wanting to make sure that everything was going to go through smoothly.
The owner was in a chain and it was very time sensitive. Rachelle was up for the challenge and was extremely friendly, explained all parts of the transaction to me and got me to completion without breaking a sweat.
She is by far one of the best solicitors that I have worked with and would not use anyone else in the future.
