Steven dealt with the recent sale of my flat. I found him to be friendly, approachable and he kept me regularly updated throughout. I would have no hesitation in recommending Steven and MJM. You can be assured of a professional service from the staff at MJM and all with a modern and fresh approach. Thank you.

Great experience

Although I never met Lynsey in person, she was always available at the end of the phone. She was very professional and efficient and made the whole buying process straightforward and painless. Missives were concluded in less than a month, so I could quickly move into my new property.

Family law - made a stressful experience a lot easier

Ralph has been a wonderful person to work with, I’ve been listened to and the information I was given in return set my mind at ease. I had faith in Ralph’s knowledge and experience, he kept me informed throughout the process and gave me info on the possible outcomes and processes. I can’t recommend Ralph enough for family matters

On first meeting Lynne she put me at ease and I found her very approachable. This makes such a difference when you are going through a house sale which is such a stressful experience. I found the team of Lynne and Beth so helpful, supportive and efficient. The whole process went very smoothly and I would have no doubts in recommending their services.

Lynsey Pender of MJ&M provided an excellent service, acting on a recent flat sale in Dunfermline. There was a Title inaccuracy that the purchaser wasn't willing to 'take a view' on. Lynsey promptly contacted the Keeper and had the Title quickly amended, causing minimal delay to the sale (now completed). I would have no hesitation in recommending Lynsey and MJ&M.

I recently purchased my first home and had Steve and Michelle supporting me the whole way. Steve was extremely diligent and helpful guiding me through the process (having very little knowledge myself). A really important factor for me, was how quickly you can get in contact. I’ve had frustrations in the past not being able to get in touch and this was the opposite! I could always easily and quickly speak with Steve. I would highly recommend them to anyone and I will continue to use Steve with anything in the future. Great team, very thankful for all their support and guidance!

I had the best experience ever with Malcolm Jack and Matheson. They are effective, thoughtful, respectful and make all the process very smooth for me.
My solicitor Lynsey Pender was very present and attending to everything in a very professional and kind way. She responded to any doubts I had immediately and with great detail.
Any time I had to call her office, the receptionists were attentive and helpful, also very kind. I recommend them to everyone who needs solicitors services.
They are very welcoming and clearly very experienced and professionals. It has been a pleasure.

Myself and my fiance have just purchased our first home with help from Lynsey. Lynsey was brilliant at every step, kept in regular contact with updates, and was always available to answer questions that we had.

Recommended Malcolm Jack & Matheson by a family member and the service was excellent. Being unfamiliar with the buy/sell property process, I was offered fantastic guidance and the whole process could not have went better!
