Senior Accredited Paralegal at W&AS Bruce LLP

Julie Barbour

Senior Accredited Paralegal

Julie first joined W&AS Bruce in 2004 after gaining her certificate in Conveyancing Practice from Strathclyde Law School. After six years away, she re-joined us in 2014. Julie has worked in the legal sector for over 25 years so is highly knowledgeable and experienced, and a respected member of the company. Julie is now based in our Burntisland office as a Paralegal in our busy and demanding Conveyancing Department carrying out all aspects of conveyancing including sales, purchases, re-mortgages and discharges. She was also one of the first to be invited to join The Law Society’s Registered Paralegal Scheme at its inception and is a member of the Scottish Paralegal Association. Julie has been married for over 40 years (she hastens to add, to the same person) and describes herself as cool, calm and collected. Mr Barbour could not be reached for comment, having read this and laughed himself into a coma.

Excellent customer service

5

I can honestly say that Julie and her colleagues were excellent and dealt with a really complex and difficult experience for them as well as myself. Any queries I had were dealt with either immediately or I was phoned back the same day as they promised. No praise I can give is too high. Many, many thanks.

Review for Julie

5

Julie just helped me with all the legal work for selling my first place (she done all the legal stuff when I bought this as well) and buying my second place. For all these occasions she was great! Nothing was a big drama and she is good at making the legal stuff less intimidating - especially when you have no idea what half of it means. My plan is to use Julie for the rest of my days buying and selling until I’m in a care home.

Outstanding Service 5*+

Julie has acted for me on my recent house purchase/sale and throughout the transaction, she went above and beyond, nothing was ever too much and she made a stressful time so much easier. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to others.

An exemplary service from an exemplary team.

Overall excellent service from start to finish, solicitors very helpful and have provided support throughout my house sale! They explained things in simple terms and made things easy when it came to completing all the paperwork. Always came back to any questions or queries within a timely manner. Cant thank all at W&AS Bruce LLP for everything throughout and I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to sell a home or for family law circumstances too.

Julie has been exceptional - knowledgeable, experienced, skilled, friendly, approachable and has genuinely taken the stress out of the conveyancing part of buying and selling houses as we have been able to trust her explicitly. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Fantastic service, especially from Julie in the Burntisland office. She acted for my Parents in purchasing their property - communication was excellent, and Julie was always very quick to respond to any queries we had. We would have no hesitation in using W&AS Bruce again, or recommending them to others (which we have already done).

Had my first time selling along with moving, and could not have been better supported by Julie and the team!

Julie was incredibly proactive, thorough and professional whilst being very approachable and reassuring throughout the process.

Highly recommend! Thank you again to Julie and the team.

I had a fantastic experience with Julie Barbour at W&AS Bruce who guided me through all the buying and selling conveyancing of my house and new home purchase. Nothing was too much trouble and I always got a prompt response to any query. I cannot recommend Julie highly enough and not only was she exceptional at her job, she had a great sense of humour and made a stressful time relaxing and offered great advice and reassurance at all times. Thanks Julie and W&AS Bruce. Please use them and you won’t regret it 🤩👍🥰
