“We really appreciated how helpful and friendly the First Mortgage team were. Ciaran was very approachable, responded quickly to queries and had a flexible schedule that allowed our application to progress quickly. Shannon was also very communicative and we never felt we needed to chase something up or weren’t sure what the next steps were. We felt confident we were talking to someone who would help us get the best deal and would gladly recommend them to a friend.”

“Collette was absolutely amazing through the whole process with assisting us to buy our first home! From her advice on what to look for when buying a house to helping us with pretty much all the paperwork and emails once we had picked our house. First class service! So friendly, Helpful and just made the process really simple and straightforward. Thank you so much!”

“We’re a micro-sized independent business, and because of that, I wasn’t confident we even stood a chance of getting a sponsorship license. Rumour has it the process is expensive, complicated, and nearly impossible for small businesses. But Euan completely changed that experience for us. From our very first meeting, he explained the entire application process step by step. He was knowledgeable, patient, professional and answered every single question I had—always followed up with a clear and detailed email summarizing the key points we’d discussed. Euan clearly keeps himself on top of the latest changes to the immigration rules. Thanks to his guidance and attention to timing, we managed to get our licence application submitted and approved just days before the new rules kicked in. As a result, my staff member was able to apply for her visa without delay. I really can’t thank Euan enough. If you’re a small business looking for help navigating the sponsorship process, I couldn’t recommend him more.”

“I came of my motorbike in May 2021 after hitting diesel and suffered a broken left clavicle. I didn’t know at the time that there had been an accident there the day before and road was still full of diesel. I contacted Motorcycle Law Scotland and spoke first to Brenda Mitchell who I was then assigned to Thomas Mitchell who then took over my case. With Thomas’s perseverance and knowledge of what to do i eventually go compensation for my accident. 2 years 8 months after starting claim. If it hadn’t been for Thomas’s drive and expertise I don’t think I would have received anything. I even had the pleasure of meeting Thomas at Bikers Hub in Glenrothes and we had a lengthy chat about it. I would wholeheartedly recommend Motorcycle Law Scotland if I need then in future. Thanks to all at Motorcycle Law Scotland on another successful case with correct outcome. Gordon Blair”

“First class service from Douglas and his team. After being let down by another solicitor I phoned Douglas to put an offer in on a house at 930am his swift work had an offer accepted by 4pm. He handed everything and cannot recommend him enough. He kept me right with my first house purchase.”

“We are very happy to have had Liam Spence as our broker and mortgage advisor. As this was our first time going through the mortgage process, we are extremely grateful for Liam’s patience and guidance throughout. He explained everything clearly and professionally during our first introductory meeting, and both my partner and I felt supported from the very start. We also appreciate all the support from Marica Ragia, ensuring we had the right documentation and guiding us through each step. Whenever we had any questions, both Liam and Marica responded to our emails almost immediately. We are truly thankful for their help and would highly recommend Liam and Marica from First Mortgage to anyone looking for reliable and professional mortgage advice.”

Thank you to Elaine, Louise and Michelle! Definitely recommend.”

“We used Quill Legal to execute my mother's estate. We thought it a bit strange at first that there is no face to face, only zoom. No letters, only email. This keeps the costs down. The costs are not a percentage of the estate but an hourly rate. Very fair. Kay was efficient, prompt with great advice. Could not have been better.”

“Ben recently assisted me with an issue with my former employer. From the first phone call I felt a weight lift immediately - his solid advice, clarity and proactive approach let me know I was in good hands. Ben handled all communication for me and kept me looped in and up to speed throughout the process. I highly recommend him as a knowledgeable and approachable employment lawyer.”

“We have just bought and sold our house with Blair Cadell and could not have been happier with our experience. Jamie, Kirsty and Adele made the process straightforward for us. At every step they were communicative and responsive. And what’s more we always felt that they were on our side as their clients. They helped us negotiate and get good deals in both our sale and purchase. If you are looking at buying or selling your property I don’t think you could be in better hands than with Blair Cadell, they have our highest recommendation.”

“Warners have been amazing with our house sale. The entire team worked really well together in their specialist areas. From the moment Donald visited for the valuation (which was spot on to the home report), to Amanda negotiating the sale we felt we were in good hands, they are very responsive when there are issues and it was extremely competitively priced too. Ive already recommended the firm to others. Thank you to everyone on the team including: Amanda, Donald, Alice, Sarah, Anne, Michelle etc!”

“I cannot recommend Wilson Ward highly enough. Every aspect of my recent house purchase was handled quickly, professionally, and with a pinch of good humour when it was needed. It was a pleasure dealing with Peter and Sharon, and I will definitely be keeping them in my contacts for any future legal expertise I may need. Five stars.”

“We cannot recommend Boyd Legal highly enough for their outstanding service in handling the legal aspects of selling our two business premises. From start to finish, Diana Boyd and Kelly Matthews were exceptional - professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. Diana's expertise and guidance gave us complete confidence throughout the process, while Kelly's attention to detail and proactive approach ensured everything ran smoothly. They kept us informed at every step, making what could have been a stressful experience completely seamless. Their dedication and commitment to achieving the best outcome for us were truly impressive. If you are looking for a legal team that is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about their clients look no further than Boyd Legal.

“We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience selling our first home with Neilsons from Lewis and Kirsten. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Lewis Hunter, our valuer, was professional, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market. He explained the process clearly, provided a detailed and accurate valuation, and gave us real confidence in the decisions we were making which meant so much as first-time sellers. His friendly manner made everything stress-free, and the brochures he prepared showcased our home beautifully. We were equally impressed with our sales negotiator, Kirsten. She guided us through every stage with clarity, confidence, and such a personal touch. At times she felt more like a friend than a negotiator always at the end of the phone, no matter how small the query, and consistently making us feel like we were her only clients. Knowing we had Kirsten on our side made the whole experience so much easier and even enjoyable! A special thanks also to Maureen in the Property Booking Team, who managed our viewings seamlessly around our full-time jobs. The Neilsons client portal was brilliant too, keeping everything from home reports to viewings clear and easy to track. Overall, we couldn’t be more grateful to the team at Neilsons. Professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. Highly recommended to anyone selling their home!”

“Gateway Insurance Services is a friendly and professional organisation. Gareth was very thorough and got me a far better quote for my house contents than my previous insurer could give and a lot more cover. I was a customer of his when he worked for Ransons so it's great doing business with him again. I would highly recommend his services and it's great dealing with a person face to face than over the phone.”

“cannot express how grateful I am for Ali assistance with my case. He was incredibly responsive and always kept me updated on the progress.

I would definitely recommend Ali to anyone looking for a dedicated and reliable attorney!"”
