Great service and support throughout the whole house buying process

I used S&B for conveyancing following an offer being accepted on my first home. My solicitor Kim and her colleague Thomas were both extremely responsive and knowledgable throughout the process which put me at ease - no question was too silly from me which I appreciated. The fee was very reasonable and any additional costs were communicated (I only had one minor cost). I would recommend S&B to anyone looking for conveyancing sevices!

Anna O'Mara Vs Dissolved McClures Sol Scotland

As an experience learning of the demise of McClure sol in 2021, the mess ex clients had to wade through, the costs Jones Whyte were looking to charge etc, was very upsetting and overwhelming. From my initial meeting with Anna I felt relieved to have met someone I had confidence in, to bring the matter to a successful conclusion. It was a long road to travel, due to ex trustee delaying tactics but Anna persevered and went the extra mile to get the win! Thank you.

Excellent Solicitor

From start to finish Thomas McConachie at the Thorne branch kept us very well informed. He also offered helpful advice. The house sale went ahead without any hitches and as it was our late Mothers house we understandably didn’t want to deal with too many problems.

We saw Madi regarding the writing of our wills. She is very professional, she listened to our wishes and suggested additional inclusions which we had not considered previously. Madi explained our queries in a manner that any layman could understand and went through the will thoroughly to ensure that all our wishes were included. We would recommend her to friends and family.

Exceptional Family Court Solicitor – Highly Recommend!

I cannot thank Jessica Cooper and her team enough for their outstanding support and dedication. From the very beginning, Jessica was extremely caring, genuinely listened to everything I said, and made sure my concerns were heard. She fought for me every step of the way, ensuring I understood everything clearly and felt supported throughout the entire process.

Her professionalism, expertise, and compassion made a difficult situation much easier to navigate. There were no surprises, she kept me fully informed, and thanks to her hard work, I achieved the outcome I wanted. If you’re looking for a solicitor who truly cares and will fight for you, I highly recommend Jessica Cooper and her team.

Thank you again for everything!
