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.

“Halima Todd just left a new 5-star review of thorntons-law.co.uk: My wife and I used Thorntons solicitors for the purchase of our current home, and we could not have been more pleased with their professionalism, attentiveness, and care during the process. The two people at Thorntons we worked most closely with were Lucy and Joanne. Both of them guided us deftly through the process, offering advice when it was prudent to do so but avoiding overwhelming us with information that was overly technical or esoteric (read: we had to wade through minimal “legalese”). Emails were answered promptly and thoroughly, phone calls never felt hurried or rushed, and we consistently felt that we were being guided through the complicated home-buying process by competent, reliable, trustworthy people. While buying a home can be an emotionally taxing process for a variety of reasons, Lucy and Joanne took as much of the guesswork out of the process as was humanly possible, and left us feeling like we had made a solid, well-informed purchase. I would wholeheartedly recommend Thorntons to anyone looking to buy a home in Scotland, without reservation.”
