A great service and fair fees

My solicitor at MM was Kirstie and her efficiency and prompt responses helped make my flat purchase as smooth and as fast as possible. As it was empty and there was no chain etc I got the keys in 5 weeks including 2 bank holidays. This was especially appreciated as I'd been searching a while. Kirstie always kept me updated and was courteous and professional. I highly recommend her and McGregor MacLeod, their conveyancing service was topnotch.

Kirstie was amazing

Kirstie was amazing. She managed to get a very difficult purchase over the line when there were delays with the English sale. She managed to get the whole thing done in a matter of a couple of days. Would highly recommend her services

Hassle free experience

I have dealt with McGregor MacLeod solicitors several times in the past years, in particular with Sharon Gray. She has been in impeccable in her work on my behalf and is extremely professional. She kept me fully updated throughout the process of the property sale and made the whole process easy. I would highly recommend McGregor MacLeod and will definitely use them again.

Great conveyancing solicitor

We decided to use Mcgregor Macleod for our move from Shrewsbury to Scotland. What we thought was going to be a fairly easy process turned out to be a bit of a nightmare. The previous owners of our home had failed to gain a completion certificate for change of use from Care home to residential home as well as major changes to the kitchen dining area. McGregor MacLeod recommended a 25K retention in order to allow the previous owners 6 months to rectify the works. They failed in this and the retention fell back to us to put the work right. Had McGregor MacLeod not recommended the 25K we could have found ourselves in a bit of a pickle. In the end we rectified the work for around 8.5K and the previous owners got some money back.

I'd just like to mention Marie Bryson. She sometimes can be hard to get hold of but when she says she's going to deal with it she truly does. Thank you McGregor MacLeod and in particular Marie, you saved us a real headache and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to friends and family.

Misleading quote

I moved at the end of September and the service was efficient enough but I ended up being charged almost £500 more than the original quote. I think that the welcome email is very misleading in stating 'The fee may vary if there is a difficulty with the title of the property you are selling or buying but we try to adhere to this fee as closely as possible.'

It was a straightforward sale with no issues around title deed, no help to buy scheme, no gifted deposit etc.

When I queried why the final bill was so much more (£1396.20 when I was quoted £916.20) I was told the senior partners set the fee rate and given no further information about how to complain, hence writing a review on here.

I note the response below, which really outlines my point. It wasn’t clear that these standard costs were not included in the quote. My feedback is still that your initial communication is misleading.

Good Afternoon Lucy,

I am sorry to see your review. Unfortunately the information in your review is not accurate or correct.

You were quoted £916.20 and your final bill was £1036.20. We never issue quotes to clients as we are not able to view the titles to the properties our clients wish to purchase.

You were given an estimate for the purchase of a property at the outset and will all the work we did for you the difference between the estimate and the final bill was £120.00, which we feel is not too far off the estimate given the title of the property you purchased

I think you have considered the cost of Registering your title £260 and the security for your mortgage £80 as Fees. These items are not our fees they are payments we need to make to Registers of Scotland to register the title and security in your name. Also you used the remote ID system so that you did not need to visit the office and you were charged £38.50 for the use of the system, which saved you a great deal of travelling.

I would hope that you will have a clearer look at your invoice and realise that we did try to keep to your initial estimate and your review content is not warranted.

Please give me a call if you need anything clarified, and I hope you enjoy your new Home.

Smoothest conveyancing you can get.

I cannot recommend macgregor macleod enough. We initially dealt with Jaspreet lidder and then Marie Bryson to complete our transaction. The level of professionalism and Competance they brought made the whole process very straightforward from start to finish, whilst also being very personable in their communications.
Simply put I will not be using any other solicitors in the future.

Conveyancing at its Best

I used them for the conveyancing of the sale of our house in Scotland. The whole experience was totally seamless from start to finish. All done for us with zero stress. An estimated quotation was given before starting which , on completion , was actually less. Great value in comparison with your average Solictor ,with exceptionally professional service and much faster.
Sharon was wonderful, friendly and professional. She was always available for a personal chat as needed. She communicated every step and progress.
Could not have been better.

Excellent service from start to finish!

I had Kirstie as my solicitor for my sale and purchase and she did a great job for both. There were some problems with the seller of my onwards purchase but Kirstie was very diligent and on the ball chasing them up to try and keep the sale moving forward. Everything was done remotely over emails and the phone which was perfect. Their fees are very fair and transparent, so no need to worry about any hidden costs lurking. I couldn't recommend them enough and would use them again if I need any further legal services.

Fantastic service and reasonably priced

Fantastic company and an excellent service from start to finish⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the second time i have used McGegor McLeod for conveyancing

First time round in 2020 i used Sharon Gray for the purchase of my first home.

Its because of the great initial service received, i decided to use McGegor McLeod for a second time. This time Margaret Scott dealt with the conveyancing for both my sale and purchase

I wouldn’t use anyone else and since 2020 i have recommended McGegor McLeod to several friends, family and colleagues who have all commented on how happy they were with the service. They are also very reasonably priced compared to other conveyancing solicitors, which is a bonus

Can’t forget Verra too….she answered all my initial queries very quickly and was always a delight to exchange communications with

McGregor Macleod - Kirstie

I cannot recommend McGregor MacLeod Solicitors highly enough. I hope Kirstie won't mind me mentioning her for particular praise. From the very outset she gave clear guidance and responded so quickly to any questions or queries I had. She made the entire process easy and efficient. If you're looking for a solicitor then look no further.

Excellent service and support

Donna Gall at this firm really helped us throughout our sale (which fell through initially) and purchase which was complicated further by two property sales linking to my sale. Always on hand to answer any questions and to listen to my concerns (not related to anything she has done but in general). Would definitely use again.

Can't recommend Sharon enough

Can't recommend Sharon enough! She has helped me twice over the past 3 years with getting my first ever property and now with our new house. Sharon was always so quick to respond to our queries and very supportive throughout the process. Will definitely be contacting Sharon if we ever move house in the future.

This was the first time I had sold a property, but the staff at McGregor MacLeod were an absolute dream. Even though the buyer raised a few dubious claims the staff at McGregor MacLeod nipped them in the bud.

A truly wonderful experience.

I have just moved house from the home I had stayed in since childhood.
As anyone can imagine it’s quite a stressful time. That said, I received a fantastic service from Jaspreet Lidder from this company. She handled everything with clarity, professionalism and in a good manner.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this company to anyone in need of their services .

Fantastic service, super simple.

Donna was absolutely fantastic, she made the entire process painless for me, as I first time buyer I was worried the process would be stressful. Donna made the entire purchase incredibly simple for me, even when dealing with quite a complicated purchase, as I was. I have since recommended McGregor MacLeod, Solicitors, to a friend and her partner who have gone on to have an offer accepted with the help of your team. I will definitely continue to recommend the team based on my great service from Donna.
P.s Apologies to Donna that this review has taken me so long, renovations have been keeping me busy.
