ID1 Verification

I needed to get a ID1 verification for a Land Registry transaction. Finding somewhere in York was a nightmare as not many solicitors do them. Luckily I found Will at Lockings. The process was quick and efficient, taking less than 30 minutes. The experience was professional and friendly and I would not hesitate to use Will/Lockings again.

The Lockings team were fantastic helping us through a house sale and purchase. Despite lots of challenges with Land Registry and solicitors working for the other parties, Lockings were proactive in moving things forward, always happy to talk to us, and very clear in all their communication. Exactly what you need when going through what can be a difficult process. Also, their fixed fee service was honoured throughout without any suggestion of additional fees when extra work presented itself.

Would fully recommend Lockings, by far the most effective conveyancers I've encountered!

Great solicitors Craig, Declan and the team really helped push our purchase through on both occasions of using them 7 years apart. Given the way other solicitors can operate, it is great to have lockings on your side. Even going out of their way, undertaking duties of the other seemingly unmotivated solicitors just to progress the sale!
