The solicotor (Victoria) was very thorough, polite and explained the Will and Power of attorney in great detail so we could understand better.
Hi Derek, we are delighted that Victoria took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly. We truly appreciate your support and wish you all the very best!

I don't feel I can give a definitive review after such a short experience with Thorntons. However, all the staff I encountered were friendly, helpful and my requirements were dealt with efficiently and in a timely manner. I only engaged them because they had bought over the partnership I had dealt with previously, and they were already holding my documents. The fact that nobody informed me that this takeover had happened leaves me slightly concerned about the ethos of the company.
Thank you for your feedback, Marie. We are pleased to hear that you found our team friendly, helpful and efficient. We also appreciate your comments regarding the communication around the transfer of your previous firm's documents, and we value you taking the time to share your experience.

Made our Wills and set up POA - in person appointment to discuss and then another once drafts were approved to sign. The advice was clear, in layman's terms, answered queries we had and prompted us to consider issues we hadn't thought of. Would recommend.
What wonderful feedback, thank you! Putting Wills and Powers of Attorney in place brings great peace of mind, and we're so glad our team helped highlight key points you might not have otherwise considered. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and recommend our firm!
Been working with Alan to figure out what was needed vs what was available in Scottish law to sort out an inheritance and property issue in the UAE. Everything has been perfect, communication, efficiency and going beyond to help. Definitely recommend Macnabs.
Thanks Steve, an interesting one, glad we managed to help you with this!
We have been clients of Macnabs for many years, whether it be buying/selling homes, preparing Wills etc..... all members of staff have always been very professional and efficient in their work.... I would recommend Alan Roughead who has been working for us recently, he has taken time to give us the best advice.....they're fees are respectfully competitive.
Thank you Joyce, we're delighted to hear that you had a great experience with our team. If there's ever anything we can assist you with in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Trainee Alex was absolutely brilliant helping me with purchasing a place for my elderly dad. Very professional, friendly, helpful, and approachable.

I used Thorntons for the purchase of my new home, and I wanted to leave a special mention for Iqra Qadir, who was genuinely brilliant throughout the whole process. Buying a house can be stressful, but Iqra made everything feel much more manageable. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and always kept me updated. Whenever I had a question, she responded clearly and quickly, and I always felt like I knew what was happening. She was professional without feeling impersonal and she was an absolute pleasure to work with!
Thank you for your wonderful review, Pablo. We are delighted to hear that Iqra made your home purchase a positive experience with clear communication and supportive guidance throughout. Your kind recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we wish you every happiness in your new home.
A high quality, fully integrated service for selling our property We now live in The Netherlands so selecting an agent to sell our property in Edinburgh “at a distance”, without us having to be physically present gave us a lot to think about. The choice to use Thornton’s as our agent to both sell and handle the legal side of the transaction proved to be as good as anticipated from my previous work with the firm. Having all parts of the activity in single organisation was highly beneficial. I was able to call on their combined expertise and the communication between the different elements was seamless. James Shipman was my initial contact and gave a very professional overview of what they could offer, of their approach and a detailed cost breakdown of the different elements. After a visit to the property, he gave me a frank estimate of the price I could expect and what would be required to do prior to sale. He left me confident that they would be an excellent and good value choice. Val Young was my main contact on the Estate Agency side. I found her very friendly and helpful in the suggestions made. She and the team rapidly put together the marketing package, including the placement on various websites and arranged for the external Home Report to be produced. They had several requests for immediate viewing concluding in a cash offer purchase within one week – quite impressive. Sandra Pettigrew was my principal contact for the conveyancing work. She impressed in the speed and accuracy of her work, continuously keeping myself and my wife in the picture. She was clear on what was to be done and the sequence of events. She demonstrated great initiative in smoothly resolving a last-minute issue that arose. A very accomplished lady indeed. As the Capital Gains Tax rules had changed a lot since we lived in the UK, we thought it advisable to take advantage of Thorntons tax advisors. Audrey Ford was a tremendous help in calculating and setting out the various options for us in a very clear manner and submitting the optimal one to HM Customs & Revenue. The saving between making the optimal choice and the worst of three scenarios was almost £30k I was pleased we took her advice! In summary we were extremely satisfied with the professionalism, efficiency and effectiveness of the whole team and would not hesitate to endorse them to any other potential sellers.
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, Bob. We are delighted to hear that our team provided a seamless and professional service throughout your property sale. Your recommendation is greatly appreciated, and we wish you all the best for the future.
I have recently used Thorntons Property Services to sell a property, the service was excellent, with knowledgeable staff. My main point of contact Linsey was very friendly and professional, who guided me through the process.
What wonderful feedback, Ronald, thank you! It is brilliant to know that you had such an excellent experience with Linsey and our knowledgeable property team. We deeply appreciate your trust in Thorntons Law and wish you every success moving forward!
I have just had the pleasure of working with Val Young Sales negotiator from Thorntons and also her lovely team. Val was very supportive throughout the sales process for my house. She offered good clear advice and good commuication and support until a sale was negotiated. I'd definitely recommend using Thorntons for a house sale or purchase or both.
Thank you so much for the lovely review, April! Selling a house is a big journey, so we are thrilled that Val and her team were there to offer clear advice, great communication, and strong support every step of the way. Thank you for choosing Thorntons and best of luck with your next chapter!
Big thanks to Lauren Buchanan for her help really appreciate it. Proper professional & lovely to deal with - I will for sure be back if & when I have the need. All the best
