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.

“Buying and selling a house during this time has not been easier, we put our house up for sale a few days before lockdown. The service we received from Thorntons from start to finish was 5 star. All staff we dealt with were extremely supportive. During lockdown regular contact with Lynsey who was keeping us up to date in regards to prospective buyers kept us going. (Thank you Linsey Mann). Lucy from the estate agents side also helped to make the whole process of buying and selling a lot easier and less stressful. She went above and beyond to get our new home purchase through in such a speedy time. She responded quickly to any questions we had, (however big or small and there was a lot), she also kept us updated and reassured us along the way. (Thank you Lucy). We really want to thank you all for the help during this process.”
