I have nothing but praise for the way everything was handled. It is a rare treat nowadays to work with people that do what they say they are going to do, call you back when they say they will and generally work in such a professional manner.
John, Residential Property Client
Elizabeth (Wilson) established my needs regarding the mortgage release and worked efficiently to gather background information. She handled the case, tackling any issue promptly and kept all parties up to speed with any development. Most importantly, and where I feel the level of service was exceptional, was that she provided sound guidance and solutions alongside any potential issue to assist me with following up information or responses.
Jamie Stewart
Service was excellent - very personalised and professional. No recommendations for improvement - would highly recommend Harper Macleod.
Mr & Mrs M. Howick
We were extremely pleased with the legal services provided during the sale and purchase of our house. Karen Fulton was instrumental in ensuring our purchase was turned around very quickly. She was sympathetic, diligent and professional in all matters and would highly recommend her in the future to anyone needing help in conveyancing. She was very patient but forceful in pushing our missives through. Excellent!
