Great Conveyancing!

Adam Smith and his team handled our house move with professionalism, giving us advice where necessary and prompt replies to our correspondence.
On moving day the transaction was done speedily and banking timeously.
We were kept well informed and we have no hesitation in recommending their services.
……………………..
N.B.In the description boxes below I haven’t selected the services not required or which we could not compare.
With regard to costs we have no knowledge of what other solicitors charge but we were happy to pay the amount charged and this had been clearly quoted to us when we initially approached them.
As stated before…..very happy!

Fantastic service from start to finish

I have used Janine at W&AS Bruce many times when buying and selling property over the years. The service Janine gives is second to none. She always keeps me updated on the progress and replies to any of my queries in a timely manner. I will continue to use Janine in the future and would highly recommend her

Having been on a multi year journey through the courts with several family related issues, I employed W & AS Bruce to represent me.

From start to finish no issue was too much trouble. Excellent staff, fantastic communication and always able to handle really emotional subjects with care and understanding. The entire team that I have dealt with have went above and beyond in their service and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them based on my family law journey. A great team and excellent service.
