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.

from Thorntons Law Llp

Thank you so much for this beautiful review, Alison. Being trusted to handle so many important milestones for you over the last few years from your business and house purchases to your wills, powers of attorney, and the estates of your loved ones is an incredible privilege. 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.

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.

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

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.
