A friendly guide throughout the process
Amy is wonderful to work with - friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Their support throughout the conveyancing on both our properties was stellar - from supporting our buyout on one, to selling the other (including full service provision from marketing through to sale).

Professional and friendly
My husband and I recently bought a property with Balfour and Manson acting on our behalf. From the moment we met Amy McKay, we felt we were in safe hands. Amy kept us up to date during the whole process and when a few issues came up we knew that Amy was working to work through these. We would wholeheartedly recommend Amy and Balfour and Manson.

Home purchase
I had the best service from Amy McKay as my solicitor for buying a new home. I've dealt with other solicitors in the past and she is by far the most understanding and professional one I've had. She takes time to explain every steps of the process and gives great advice. I will be a returning customer.

Great!
Amy McKay was very helpful throughout and explained each step. She always had time when I needed to call or ask any questions. Would recommend for anyone who’s purchasing a property! Sue Newton was also very helpful too.

They get the job done!
After trying numerous solicitors over the years in an attempt to try and resolve a situation regarding my home and ex-partner I chose Balfour + Manson. Lynne Mulchay, Family Law, took the helm and got the job done. She supported and assured me that she would get a resolution for me and she did. I cannot thank her enough for all the work she did, frustrating as it was... but we got there in the end. The peace of mind I now have is immeasurable.
Balfour + Manson also handled the conveyancing and again were friendly, supportive and professional.
Thank you Lynne and Amy.

Excellent service
Amy Mckay must be commended for excellent customer service.
She was attentive, honest and quick in her responses. From watching and speaking to other people with experiences in house purchases, ours was by far the best, no difficulty getting updates, or getting hold of her, we were always in the loop. Everything was explained carefully and in simple terms to ensure we felt in control at all times. She also did our wills and power of attorney.
Cannot fault. Thanks so much for making a extremely painful process, significantly less painful than it had the potential to be!

Fantastic service
This was our first time purchasing a property in Scotland and was recommended Amy McKay at Balfour + Manson. The service was excellent from start to finish, everything was explained in simple terms and communication was always very quick. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this firm again.
