Brilliant and Speedy Settlement

Morgan Landels jumped on to my case despite it being close to year end and absolutely smashed it for me. Morgan made everything succinct and clear for me and kept me reassured throughout the entire process. The result was a great success and I will recommending Morgan!

Sale and Purchase of Property

We were delighted with the service provided by Will and the Harper Macleod team. From the very start of putting our property on the market, through to concluding the purchase of our new home, the team kept in constant contact with updates on progress and answered any questions we had quickly and in detail. We can’t thank them enough for the help and will would defiantly use them again in the future.

By far, the worst experience I’ve had with any service. And I have dealt with a lot of solicitors. They are rude, abrasive and so unhelpful to the point that they would rather be awkward than help you. When asking why we needed to provide some sensitive information, the response was shocking, including and I quote “clearly this matter is going to be more hassle than it is worth”. They refused to represent us, because we wanted to know why they required this particular information.

This company is a scam man's paradise; they charged me an unreasonable sum of 11,000 pounds just for a letter and their lawyer attended a 30 minutes of meeting, nothing else and gave me an 11, 000 pounds bill that I already paid. I therefore recommend that all of you don't deal with the scam business

To say that the offer of a fixed fee has no hidden surprises is factually incorrect and does not align with consumer legislation. The fee is conditional on using Harper Macleod for conveyances. That fee is a staggering £1000. I am not impressed

Andrea and Georgia were amazing in helping me to buy my house. They were so efficient and updated me regularly in the process. It made what could have been a stressful task so much easier. I couldn't recommend them more and I will definitely be using them in the future!

Professionalism at it's best

My experience of working with Karyn, Gillian and Tash has been nothing short of exemplary. From initial discussions, to timely follow ups they went above and beyond what would have been expected of them. The professionalism and care they showed for me as a client was exceptional. I would not hesitate to use this firm again in the future.

I'm very grateful to Angus Brown at the Inverness office. He kindly gave half an hour of his time to explain the relevant parts of the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973. I did not feel under pressure to engage his services. He was so helpful in bullet pointing the salient points in case law and where to find out more.

Absolutely useless save your money. Was dealing with these crooks and they didn't keep in touch with me, ended up giving me less than a weeks notice to attend court to be a witness. They couldn't understand the evidence they managed to find, didn't research it or put any time into understanding it. They utterly wasted my time. Stay away from these clowns honestly do yourself a favour. The worst representation you can find.

Please avoid this company - it will involve waiting months for a response and extra added stress. I have waited 2 and a half years since starting my claim and still no further forward. I accepted settlement claim months and months ago and have heard nothing back since then. Constantly having to phone to chase it up and get told every time I will get a call back - never do. I have sent numerous emails and again no response. No regard for customers who are experiencing a stressful situation. I am not normally one who leaves reviews but I think it is absolutely necessary to warn others so they do not have to experience the same stress I have had to deal with and hopefully now the company will get back to me.

I saw this firm work from the other side. I took someone to court and they chose Harper and MacLeod to represent them. They where unpleasant, unprofessional, misleading and incorrect on almost every occasion. I represented myself in court twice and won my case so their client had to pay me and god knows how many unnecessary thousands of pounds to them. This case could have been dealt with quickly over 1 or 2 phone calls. Instead they dragged it out for months and months sending endless amounts of misleading, incorrect and ignorant emails. Every email and court appearance costing their clients serious amount of money. Their client will have no idea how easily this could have been dealt with and how much money they could have saved. Avoid these crooks.

They over charge and underdeliver. Their only interest is in generating as much cash out of you as possible. Your satisfaction is of absolutely no concern it’s all about money.
