Rachelle the magnificent

5

Rachelle has been utterly amazing. We were having real problems trying to sell our house due to lots of complicated covenants attached to the property. Rachelle took over our case and she was fantastic. She is so knowledgeable and determined. She would keep us informed at every step and answer our emails straight away. As well as this she would ring often to explain things (and in a way that we could understand). It felt personal, professional and reliable, And then . . . Rachelle worked her magic! Sorted out all the legal complications, got our house sold and sorted out our new property. We are so grateful for everything she has done - in fact I think I’ll quite miss her!
We are now in our new home - thank you Rachelle for making our dream a reality xx

I had excellent service from Rachelle and her team. She reacted quickly to telephone calls and emails and was always able to provide the information I needed. She helped me through frustrations caused by others

Excellent Service

Rachelle Laisnez was handling the purchase of a new home which turned out to be very problematic. Her advice and true professionalism enabled us to make informed decisions and Rachelle made sure time was taken to ensure we fully understood every detail involved in any decision making. We cannot thank her enough for helping us to make what has turned out to be the best decision for our family.

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.

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.
Best Regards

always a pleasure dealing with Rachelle and her team

5

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!
