Excellent Conveyancing Service

We used Lindsay's in Dundee for our recent property sale and purchase and had Lisa Mannion acting on our behalf.

In order to avoid missing out on the house we wanted which was moving to a closing date, we needed to move quickly. Lisa couldn't have been more helpful in getting everything in place to ensure we were in a strong position to submit an offer which was ultimately successful.

The service provided by Lisa felt personal and like she completely understood our individual needs and I believe she went above and beyond in her engagement with the selling solicitors to ensure we were seen as the preferred bidder at the closing date.

All in all, Lisa helped us go from considering moving to being in our new house within around 6/7 weeks and we couldn't be more thankful for her help.

Excellent professional service

I have been a repeat customer at Lindsay’s for many years, for a variety of issues and I have always received excellent service with very good communications which I regard as important.
My most recent issue was dealt with by Rachel High and I would thoroughly recommend her

Excellent service

Used Lindsays as my solicitors for purchasing a flat in Dundee. Zoe was the senior solicitor and with her I really felt in safe hands.

She was always warm, helpful, clear / timely communications , juggled many balls through the process and didn't drop one of them.

Really appreciated the smooth experience and will return for future legal support.

Sale of house in St Andrews

I have worked with Lindsays on and off over the last 20 years, I go back every time due to the excellent service they provide. Whoever I speak to is warm, friendly, knowledgeable and so very helpful. The sale of my house could not have been more straight forward and I have greatly appreciated having direct contact with our lawyer - Zoe Allan. Will be back again no doubt if I need anything else!

APPALLING

Appalling care service and possible professional negligence

Without Prejudice

currently under investigation for service standards through the SLCC. Extremely poor communication and shocking undisclosed fees.
Do not touch with a barge pole from chair to associates. Jennifer Gallagher partner is great at taking notes but awful as an acting solicitor.
Just read ALL the other reviews they are an appalling solicitors firm

Stepped in and helped us get across the line

We were having major issues with our solicitor at a different firm and were getting nowhere. I called Lindsays and after one conversation we were able to push forward with the purchase of our new house. They made every thing very straightforward. Very clear with what they needed from us and also didn't ask for ridiculous things like our previous solicitor. Would recommend them highly to anyone else.

About this branch

Description

We’ve offered legal services in Edinburgh for more than 200 years, and our offices in the West End are less than a mile from where we first started. But the modern Lindsays has come a long way since 1815. Our solicitors offer a complete range of services to businesses, charities and private clients, and work with many of the capital’s best-known hospitality businesses, tech companies and angel investors. Our specialist lawyers in Edinburgh still uphold Lindsays’ excellent and long-standing reputation for private-client work and family law, but they also have expert colleagues dealing with twenty-first century issues such as private equity funding or renewables.
