After a very slow start caused by, what we considered to be not very good advice with regards to marketing, the conveyancing process has been handled very well. Everyone we dealt with has been friendly and helpful.

Excellent Legal Support for Our Buy-to-Let Property Acquisition
We recently completed the purchase of a buy-to-let property through our property development company and had the pleasure of working with Michelle and Teresa at Thorntons.
From the outset, both Michelle and Teresa were professional, responsive, and a pleasure to deal with. They were always at the end of the phone when we needed them and took the time to explain matters clearly, providing not only legal guidance but valuable commercial advice throughout the transaction.
As business owners, we appreciate advisers who understand the bigger picture, and Michelle and Teresa did exactly that. Their proactive approach, attention to detail, and ability to navigate the transaction efficiently gave us complete confidence from start to finish.
This was our first deal with Thorntons, but it certainly won’t be our last. What began as a straightforward property acquisition has developed into what we see as a genuine long-term partnership. We now view Thorntons as a trusted adviser to our business and look forward to working with Michelle and Teresa on many more acquisitions and projects in the future.
We would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone seeking knowledgeable, commercially minded solicitors who genuinely care about their clients’ success.
Reliable, prompt and knowledgeable conveyancing
Excellent prompt service for move from England to Scotland. Our solicitor Alex was very competent in both English and Scottish property law. She gave us all the information we needed, happy to discuss options including face to face and phone calls when needed. Was prompt and had cover if she was on holiday. The process went very smoothly.

Amazing experience buying my first home
As a solo first-time buyer, I know the process can be incredibly stressful, but I had the most amazing experience thanks to Michelle!
She was fantastic at explaining everything clearly, so I always understood what was happening. Each concern was handled calmly and professionally which put me at ease throughout.
I was kept updated at every stage, and the whole process felt so smooth - I expected it to be far more stressful. Michelle was always available whenever I needed to get in touch and responded quickly.
I would highly recommend Thorntons, and especially Michelle, to anyone going through the process in the future!
