Highly Recommend

I would highly recommend W&AS Bruce. I first used their services in 2021 when I bought my first home, and again just recently when selling and purchasing a new property. Janine Toland has provided an excellent service, making my experience as stress free as possible. She is knowledgeable and professional and goes above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome.

Janine at W&AS Bruce


We engaged Janine at W & AS Bruce and I highly recommend her services. She is prompt, highly efficient, and has assisted us on two occasions—both with purchasing and selling. Janine stands out as one of the best solicitors I have worked with, demonstrating extensive knowledge, providing sound advice, and consistently striving for swift outcomes that benefit all parties involved

Smooth conveyance

The purchase of my property went smoothly from start to finish and was completed quickly. The staff at W & AS Bruce couldn't have been more friendly and helpful.
A family member recommended W & AS Bruce to me and I'm glad that I took their advice.

Selling and buying House

Janine was fantastic, communication was quick, professional and efficient, any questions replied to promptly. We had a major delay due to our buyers mortgage paperwork not being completed on time but Janine had a way of keeping me relaxed and calm as I was stressed out with our sellers talking about pulling out if we did not get Missives completed by a certain date, she even went out of her way to come to our house to sign documents so thank you. One the day of completion everything went smoothly. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends.

Great service for house sale

We used W&AS Bruce to sell our house and buy our new property. We had great service, with very quick responses to questions and a proactive approach with the other solicitors in the chain as we were in a chain of 4 buyers and sellers. We would definitely use them again.

I recently sold and purchased house with help of Janine Tolland from WAS Bruce., and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our initial meeting to the final closing, Janine demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, expertise, and commitment that made the entire process smooth and efficient.
She settle purchase and sell transaction before 12 noon of settlement day, which is exceptional.
