Very very dissapointing company

Hired to deal with my deceased brothers medical affairs. Very very dissapointing firm no communication lose all paperwork and just did not care at all about the time they wasted now 5 months. This company is one to avoid other less dressy firms whom do it better just a fancy outfutvof show boaters that maje money from misery and hide in thier ivory towers passing the blame onto the client for thier mistakes.

Rip Off

Numerous mistakes, only interested in clocking as much time (including charging you for their mistakes). Didn't listen to the ask and simply made very expensive assumptions. Didn't provide any progress of cost updates. Got extremely short and defensive when challenged. Ended up terminating early with zero progress and a very expensive bill.

Awful service and limited experience

Carrying out all parts of my mother who passed away in 2021.
No communication
No knowledge on selling property even although it was in the West End of Edinburgh
5 times I phoned I received no calls back
I suppose their exorbitant prices are needed to pay for an office in the West End of Edinburgh

Best interests

Lyndsays handled my fathers estate . It was dealt with through my alcoholic sister . I was shocked at the state they allowed my fathers house to go on the market .
A wee lick of paint and some basic gardening would have made the world of difference to the sale price .
No doubt my sister hassled them to be as quick as they could but I thought their duty was to do the best for the client ( my deceased father ) which is obviously not what they done .

Expensive and poor service

I used this company as it was my fathers solicitor when he died. They charged very high costs with little justification as the will was straight forward and we had consolidated his estate before his death as my sister and I had POA of his affairs in his latter years. To compound this they made several mistakes. they do not appear to double check work of junior staff. I could not recommend this company to anyone!

Lindsays Solicitor review

Very poor conveyancing service. Took 4 months to do a cash buy, provided very limited advice or guidance through the process. I had to constantly chase them to progress the transaction and push them for a completion date. Worst of all, whilst they said from the outset that they were not the cheapest, twice they raised their prices and there was nothing I could do due to their control. Not recommend this firm. Read two other reviews and they faced the same promblem on raised prices. Refused to do as I asked about keeping my details digitally, to save time, effort and future cost.

Excellent Conveyancing Service

We used Lindsay's in Dundee for our recent property sale and purchase and had Lisa Mannion acting on our behalf.

In order to avoid missing out on the house we wanted which was moving to a closing date, we needed to move quickly. Lisa couldn't have been more helpful in getting everything in place to ensure we were in a strong position to submit an offer which was ultimately successful.

The service provided by Lisa felt personal and like she completely understood our individual needs and I believe she went above and beyond in her engagement with the selling solicitors to ensure we were seen as the preferred bidder at the closing date.

All in all, Lisa helped us go from considering moving to being in our new house within around 6/7 weeks and we couldn't be more thankful for her help.

Excellent professional service

I have been a repeat customer at Lindsay’s for many years, for a variety of issues and I have always received excellent service with very good communications which I regard as important.
My most recent issue was dealt with by Rachel High and I would thoroughly recommend her

Excellent service

Used Lindsays as my solicitors for purchasing a flat in Dundee. Zoe was the senior solicitor and with her I really felt in safe hands.

She was always warm, helpful, clear / timely communications , juggled many balls through the process and didn't drop one of them.

Really appreciated the smooth experience and will return for future legal support.
