House Sale and Purchase

Fiona acted for me with regard to my sale and purchase and was amazing, I suspect all house sales and purchases have their stress points in the the conveyancing process and I was guided and helped through all of those moments with ease, I felt she was in total control, drilling down to the small detail not letting anything go, pursuing the answers from other parties, highlighting the points I needed to be aware of which gave me a lot of confidence and eased some of the stress. Fiona was way ahead of the other solicitors acting for the other parties. Fiona was never to busy to speak or respond to me particularly when I had many questions relating to the purchase. If Fiona was away one of her team stepped in seamlessly which meant no delay.

The Best

We needed to revise our wills as ours were some 30 plus years out of date. Carl visited our home and carefully listened to what we wanted to do and advised us as to what we could do. Nothing was too much for him and did not rush us through the rules relating to wills plus LLPs. If we had any queries Alice was so helpful with her replies. We are so pleased we chose them to deal with something which was a worry to us.

Exceptional Support and Reliable Service from Ellie Mason

I cannot recommend Ellie Mason from Goodlaw Solicitors highly enough. Throughout the entire process—from the initial waiting period to the court date—Ellie was nothing short of exceptional. She was incredibly supportive and understanding, offering clear and practical advice every step of the way. Her communication was outstanding; I always felt informed and reassured, no matter how complex the situation. Ellie’s reliability and professionalism truly set her apart. I would, without a doubt, use her services again. Thank you, Ellie, for your invaluable support!

Impeccable Service

Fiona is a delight to do business with. She made the conveyancing of my flat sale stress free. She communicated clearly and with empathy, in a timely manner and when necessary, so that I was kept in the loop but not swamped. Fiona worked to understand my needs and negotiated the sale impeccably on my behalf. I couldn’t have asked for a more resourceful, empathetic solicitor.

Highly recommended for property purchases

I would highly recommend Goodlaw Solicitors for purchasing property, having worked with Emma Holland assisted by Emily Hinton for this. Emma's attention to detail and raising of concerns was invaluable, and Emily's warm approach was appreciated. Highly professional and friendly service overall. Nothing important will be overlooked.

I engaged with Goodlaw solicitors in 2023 ref Power of attorney and a Will. I engaged with them again in 2024 ref a deed of gift and I would recommend Carl Ingram and his team to anyone looking for the above services. The service was excellent as was the process. Carl is a credit to this practice (having only dealt with Carl in fairness) and my experience is that as a customer you will not regret dealing with Goodlaw solicitors.
