Will and house conveyancing

Both the renewal of our wills and simultaneous house conveyancing wäre conducted in an extremely efficient and Professional manner by Louise and Katherine. Our wills had lockend very tired and rather untidy. Louise sorted this out within a week. Although not yet completed Katherine has been a huge help in sorting out the sale and purchase of our house, always chasing and communicating.

Excellent service

Over the last few years I have had many dealings with Thorntons in Cupar. They have dealt with all my business, wills, power of attorney, house purchases and estates of deceased loved ones professionally and efficiently but more than that, with care, understanding and a personal touch that made things so much easier. I cannot praise them highly enough and would, and have, recommend them to family and friends.

Thank you for your continued trust and for recommending us to your family and friends. We look forward to being here for you whenever you need us in the future!

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.

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.
