Worst business I have ever dealt with. Avoid.

I am glad to read other reviews stating how rude, unprofessional and lazy this man is. He does indeed hang up mid-way through calls (not making this up, someone else pointed it out too). His tone is insanely nasty on the phone. His reception do not generally know what they are doing - during one call they made an appointment for me and then at the end told me "actually he is not in on that day now I think about it". They forget your name, your enquiry, it is as if you can tell them one hundred times and they will still be "so what is this about?" Avoid this "business" and look elsewhere.

Best Solicitor in town

Mr MacGregor helped us move house. Nothing was too much trouble. Superb service. Took all our calls, communication was very clear. Mr MacGregor and his staff were very helpful, friendly and always had a smile on their face.

Lazy and unprofessional

Absolutely has to be the worst solicitor on the planet. Partner and I recently bought a house and had to use William mcgregor as the solicitor, he took weeks to reply to messages and when he did they were 3 word messages. Sometimes even when he did send a higher worded email he would write it all in capital letters. Very lazy and unprofessional, I can understand now why he has such low reviews online. Will be warning anyone to stay clear of this horrible form.

Arrogant, rude, self-serving. Incompetent

Arrogant, rude & self-serving. We had to endure this complete Clown due to selling 3 flats. He was the buyers solicitor. He NEVER answered emails, asked for NON-EXISTENT items that weren't necessary, even our solicitor couldn't believe his incompetence. He then wouldn't tell our solicitor to release funds for NO REASON WHATSOEVER as transactions had concluded. He is a law unto himself and should be struck off. Clearly doesn't understand business professionalism.

Catalogue of errors

A catalogue of errors that had a major impact on us. We received papers to sign with other people’s names and addresses on. We had a wrong entry date in the missives which meant a rushed trip to the office to hand in new papers in time for the transaction to take place. On the date of the transaction we constantly had to chase him and finally got our keys at 4.30pm on a Friday!

After the sale concluded we were advised by email and letter that the legal fees, mortgage had been settled, and the estate agent fees paid.

Two weeks later we had the estate agent chasing us for £3000 As it turned out they hadn’t been paid. Our lawyers response “you didn’t instruct me to pay the fees”. Never have I had to pay an estate agent for any house sale. This has always been part of the instruction. Even the estate agent agreed he has never encountered this. By all means, use this solicitor, however, if you Don’t want to be stressed during the transaction I’d suggest going elsewhere!
