Good solicitor

4

A decent solicitor. Made it easy when I started out looking for my first home , after several failed attempts over the summer of 2024 , I finally managed to get an offer accepted for my first home. However the process to complete it was a lot more difficult. So many forms and documents to sign. However it was made easy to understand, apart from some of way they were written were hard to understand. The only real issue I had was due to not get quoted on a gifted deposit, so extra costs were due, luckily it worked out and I had enough saved to cover the extra costs.

Thank you for your feedback, Jonathan.

We will take your comments into account to ensure greater clarity in the future and ensure all costs are fully explained upfront. We're pleased Farrah was able to assist.

Legal Service for buying new build properties

4

For a buyer from a foreign country, your company’s customer service (Ms. Yvonne Fleming) is very good with quick response.
The lawyer's performance was also very professional. Although because my native language is not English, there were some misunderstandings in providing personal information and proof of funds, which resulted in a tight transaction time. However, the lawyer was able to complete the building purchase and sale services on time. I also want to express my gratitude to the lawyer responsible for me here.
But I still think the communication between the lawyer and the customer can be strengthened and improved, especially for foreigners whose native language is not English.

Conveying with overseas funds for a property cash buy

4

This is the only law firm that deals with overseas funds for property buying. My solicitor from the beginning was very easy to contact and would respond to our correspondence promptly, knowledgeable and courteous.
The one thing I would have wanted more of would have been more explanations and instructions on what was next on each step of the process since it was a new and lengthy process for me. I needed constant clarification.
But overall it was very professional and helpful.

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Farrah for her exceptional support throughout my house-purchasing process. Her communication was always clear, prompt, and professional. I had a complex case involving overseas funds within a tight timeframe, and Farrah worked diligently to meet the deadlines with both professionalism and a warm, approachable attitude. The buying process can be incredibly stressful, and it would have been much more challenging without the great assistance from the Scullion team. Having direct contact with my solicitor was invaluable, and I especially appreciated Farrah’s personal touch. I highly recommend her services!

Very good experience, on the most part, however I got a surprise that what was quoted, as it didn't include a gifted payment towards my deposit from my parents. A lot of work for money laundering checks but I'm glad it worked out and had enough to cover the extra expenses

I had the pleasure of having Farrah from the Hamilton office dealing with my recent house sale. I couldn't have dealt with a more efficient, courteous & helpful person making a potentially stressful time very easy for myself. Great job from Farrah, a true asset to the company
