Incredible Service from Start to Finish

We recently worked with Janine Toland at W& AS Bruce for the purchase of our new home in Bathgate, Scotland, and we couldn't have been more impressed with her service. Janine's knowledge, efficiency, and commitment to her clients were truly outstanding. She made what can often be a daunting process feel smooth and stress-free, guiding us through every detail with clarity and care.
Janine's ability to handle everything with professionalism and warmth stood out to us. Her consistent updates and quick responses put us at ease and gave us full confidence that everything was in good hands. We are immensely grateful to her and the team at W& AS Bruce for making the experience so positive.
We highly recommend Janine Toland and W& AS Bruce to anyone in need of property solicitors. Their expertise and dedication make them an excellent choice for managing all your property needs!

Professional and efficient

I went to W&AS Bruce to get help
When my mum suddenly passed as I didn’t even know where to start with her estate, Janine was exceptional and very helpful and made this so easy and explained everything to me and sorted everything out for me. I was sent everything I needed to complete to finalise everything quickly and it kept this process very simple for me at a very difficult time. I can’t stress enough how amazing this practice is.

We had the pleasure of working with Janine Toland from W& AS Bruce for the recent purchase of our new home in Bathgate, Scotland, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, Janine's professionalism, expertise, and dedication were exceptional. She navigated the complexities of the process seamlessly, keeping us informed every step of the way and ensuring everything went smoothly.
Janine's attention to detail and clear communication gave us confidence and peace of mind during what can often be a stressful time. She truly went above and beyond to make sure all aspects of the transaction were handled with care and efficiency. Thanks to Janine and the team at W&AS Bruce, we are now happily settled into our new home.
If you're looking for a reliable and experienced solicitor to handle your property matters, we wholeheartedly recommend Janine Toland and W& AS Bruce.

We recently used W&AS Bruce for our property sale and new purchase. We had used them previously and had been very happy. Again, the service was excellent and the costs were very reasonable.
Janine at the Broxburn office works very efficiently and keeps you up to date with anything you need to know or do. She answers and queries very quickly and herself which we appreciated.
We have recommended Janine and W&AS Bruce to several family members who have also been very pleased with the service provided.

Excellent work across two complicated files in Probate and Conveyancing that due to the nature till much longer than was usually necessary, but I’m grateful Janine Toland stayed the course achieving successful outcomes in both cases. I live outside the jurisdiction of Scottish Law so efficient, professional, timely communications were a relief and the knowledge, understanding and implementation of m cases and appropriate Scottish Law was invaluable.

I would highly recommend this practice.
