Legal Services

If you are buying or selling a property in Scotland, you will need legal support to complete your sale or purchase.

When dealing with property, it is never too early to get legal advice. If you are looking for a new home, you need to be prepared and in a position to move quickly to make an offer when you find the house of your dreams. And if you are a seller, you need arrangements in place ready to handle potential offers and property negotiations.

As a solicitor estate agency, we can provide you with legal services as well as our comprehensive estate agency services, supporting you through the whole of your property transaction – from putting your house on the market or making an offer through to completing the necessary legal contracts.

Our teams of experienced Solicitors and support staff work closely with our estate agency teams across all of our offices to provide a seamless and cost-effective property package for clients. With our thorough knowledge of the property market and legal conveyancing expertise, we can spot and avoid potential pitfalls and problems quickly, making finalising the documentation for you as smooth and speedy as possible.

We can also help if your property transaction involves selling property in England and buying in Scotland or vice versa, as we have Solicitors qualified in both English and Scottish Law. Such cross-border expertise ensures the process is as hassle-free and easy as possible for you.

Throughout your property buying or selling, we are on hand to help. We will keep you informed during the whole process, giving you regular updates on developments to ensure you are always kept in the picture.

“We recently sold our home through your Anstruther Office. Sam Horsburgh handled the sale. We are also in the process of selling a flat through your St Andrews office where Lynsey Dammer is handling the sale. In both cases we have nothing but praise for your staff members. Everything has been handled with the upmost professionalism. Communications were excellent. Advice given was sound and all queries were handled swiftly and efficiently. Commitments given were honoured in a timely fashion. We could not of asked for more from an estate agency. Your staff members are a tribute to Thorntons and their friendly and efficient service ensures that we will continue to use Thorntons when we sell a further flat later this year. ”
