Stressful experiences, won’t use again

Aside from being left for weeks without updates or vital documentation, there were errors on documents where they had copied other names and addresses from previous clients. Once the bills had been settled they also sent follow up invoices for things they had ‘forgotten’ and despite admitting in writing that it was their error they still wanted more money. I would advise anyone to seek alternate counsel.

Excellent, prompt service drafting a Will

The process was very easy: an online meeting initially to discuss what I wanted in my Will, then I went to the office to sign when it was ready. Excellent service.

Missed moving date and very hands off.

Did not complete paperwork in good time, left us in limbo for a number of weeks then on moving day found out they did not submit/chase paperwork and we were left trying to finish everything off the day before moving. This resulted in our moving day to our new house being missed and ended up having to return rental vans, store all our possessions with various family, stay in hotel and re-hire moving van to do it all again the following week.

Blackadders have made the whole process of selling our home incredibly easy. From marketing the property to dealing with viewer requests and eventually to closing the sale they were excellent. Moving on to the solicitor side of the sale, we dealt with one person the whole time which made the process stress free as the solicitor was responsive and kept us up to date with the progress. I'd highly recommend Blackadders to anyone who is looking to sell their home or purchase a new house.

Blackadders LLP helped advise and settle a complicated employment issue for my relative. They were timely with their communication and successful with their outcome. I recommend this firm especially the Dundee office. A big, huge thanks to Blythe and Simon for their hard work and success in helping my family.

There aren't enough stars to give. We started the process of finding a home in Scotland to relocate home from Ireland, just a week or two before covid appeared in the world. Karen and Marlene understood we'd have to put it on hold and so when we picked it back up almost a year later, they were ready to help. We ended up buying a home we handed seen in person, in an area we'd never visited aside from on Google maps, at a time when the Scottish housing market had gone wild. Karen could not have done more had she gone and physically viewed the house for us. I'm not joking. Without her hardwork and tenacity, her knowledge of the market and her savvy skills, we would have been in rented accommodation looking for and missing out on houses right now. As it stands, I write this from my beautiful new home which I couldn't be happier with. In twenty years of buying and selling homes, I have never had such great service and I have paid an awful lot more for so much less. I didn't haven't one new grey hair or one sleepless night thanks to Karen and her team. Don't look anywhere else, they will work tirelessly for you. I can't thank them enough.
