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.

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.

Hello

Very happy with the service Macnabs provided. - in particular Sharon Connolly. I have dealt with a few solicitors now who's services I felt were a little underwhelming. This however was completely different and I am very happy I was recommended them by my estate agent whilst selling my property. I was consistently updated and all my queries where responded to quickly and in a way I understood. I recommend and will definitely be using them should I need a solicitor in the future.

Delighted we were able to help with your move.

We moved to Thornton's and more importantly, Sandy Grant, after a rocky start to a complicated house purchase with another solicitor. Sandy was straight to the point, spoke in a language we could understand, and even with him having 2 week annual leave in the middle of the purchase, his team were amazing at picking up queries on his behalf. We truly believe we would not have completed on our purchase had we not been put in touch with Sandy. We cannot recommend and thank him and Thorntons enough. Ryan & Erin Keay

Power of Attorney

Needed Power of Attorney set up, was done very efficiently and easy to deal with. Friendly staff right from walking in the door to sitting down with one of the partners. Would recommend them and will be using again.

from Thorntons Law Llp

Thank you so much for your kind review Andrew! We are really pleased to hear that your Power of Attorney was set up efficiently and that the whole experience felt easy and welcoming from the moment you walked through the door. Making every client feel comfortable and well looked after is something we care deeply about as a firm and it is wonderful to know that came through at every stage. Thank you for your recommendation and we look forward to seeing you again whenever you need us!

I visited Thoran Property on Saturday and was advised that Thoran Solicitors would help me on Monday with witness signatures for my affidavit. However, when I went to Thoran Solicitors, the receptionist informed me that they only provide witness signatures for their own clients. This caused me to waste my time and effort. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Thoran Property or Thoran Solicitors to anyone who is not already their client, especially for services like witnessing affidavit signatures.
